Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season. Graveman will also likely miss all of next year, too. He had an ugly 7.60 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 27 K's in 34 1/3 innings over seven starts before being sent to the minors. He should obviously not be owned in any fantasy leagues.

Graveman was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Nashville on Sunday due to a right forearm strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Graveman is 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over 24 innings across four outings with Triple-A Nashville, but he's now produced three consecutive quality starts.

Graveman was bypassed for a promotion from Triple-A Nashville when the Athletics required a fifth starter Sunday against the Diamondbacks and is expected to remain in the minors for the foreseeable future to continue working on his mechanics, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday to make room for Stephen Piscotty, who was activated from the bereavement list. Graveman has been awful this season, posting a 7.60 ERA in 34 1/3 innings with 27 strikeouts, 13 walks and nine home runs allowed. Trevor Cahill will likely replace Graveman in the A's rotation once he returns from the disabled list on Wednesday.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman was called up from Triple-A Friday and pitched better than anyone could have expected in a 10-5 win against the Yankees. Graveman picked up his first win of the season by scattering three hits across six innings and only allowing four runs, one earned. He also walked two and struck out four batters. This performance improves his ERA slightly to a still unappealing 7.60. Graveman is currently not assigned to a next start. It will depend on whether Trevor Cahill can return from the DL. Despite tonight's start, Graveman is a risky start against any opponent.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman will be called up to take the start against the Yankees Friday. Graveman had an 0-5 record with an 8.86 ERA in six starts before being sent down to Triple-A Nashville. It doesn't appear as though Graveman was able to figure things out as he had a 6.00 ERA in two starts. Do not start Graveman in any leagues.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman allowed five runs and gave up four walks while striking out three in 3 1/3 innings on Sunday. He has had a terrible start to the season. Through three starts, Graveman has a 9.45 ERA and looks nowhere near resolving his troubles. He should be avoided and only considered in AL-only matches that are extremely favorable.

Graveman (0-2) allowed five runs on five hits and four walks through just 3.1 innings during Sunday's loss to the Angels. He struck out three batters.

Graveman (0-1) gave up four runs, all earned, over five innings on eight hits with a strikeout and a walk in taking Oakland's 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman has been named the team's Opening Day starting pitcher, according to Jane Lee of MLB.com. Graveman is having a poor spring (7.53 ERA with 16 strikeouts) following an equally bad 2017 season with a 4.19 ERA over 105 innings. Leave him on the waiver wire and potentially stream him in very favorable matchups in deeper leagues.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman is regarded as the best pitcher in the staff. However, he is not having a spring resembling a front-of-the-rotation starter. In six innings, Graveman has allowed eight runs and struck out five. There are other pitchers in the Oakland rotation that are worth taking in fantasy drafts. Graveman should not be owned outside of deep mixed and AL-only leagues as an innings-eater.

Graveman allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in Thursday's 7-3 Cactus League win over the Angels. He also recorded two strikeouts.

Graveman (0-2) allowed four earned runs on four hits and two walks over 1.1 innings in Saturday's 10-4 Cactus League loss to the Padres. He did not record a strikeout.

Graveman lost his arbitration case Saturday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman lost his arbitration case with the team, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Graveman will make $2.36 million this season, not the $2.6 million that he had requested from the team for 2018. He dealt with right shoulder problems last season, limiting him to 105 1/3 innings, and finished 6-4 with a 4.19 ERA for Oakland. The 27-year-old has seen his ERA rise in each MLB season, has struck out just 259 batters in 411 2/3 career innings and has allowed 9.6 hits per nine innings in his career. Even in a pitcher's ballpark like Oakland, there is no reason to own Graveman.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman requested $6.225 million and was offered $5.3 million by the Orioles when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman requested $2.6 million and was offered $2.36 million by the Athletics when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday.

The A's are reshuffling their pitching rotation for this week, calling up Daniel Gossett to start on Wednesday and pushing Kendall Graveman one spot ahead of Sean Manaea. Graveman will now start on Thursday instead. This was done in part to give Graveman more consistent starts down the stretch. He has missed a large chunk of the season with two different DL stints, and the belief is that he needs more innings before the season is out. Graveman has only thrown 67 1/3 innings on the year, pitching to a 4.54 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP across 12 starts. Graveman's 4.13 FIP indicates he has gotten a bit unlucky thus far, but his 6.01 K/9 is pretty pedestrian, making him a streaming option at best in standard formats.

Graveman, has put together consecutive quality starts for just the second time in 2017 despite taking his fourth loss against the Astros on Saturday.

Kendall Graveman earned his first win since April 8 on Sunday, tossing seven innings and giving up two runs on eight hits with one walk and eight strikeouts. He is now 3-3 on the year after missing nearly three months with a shoulder injury. He sports a 4.70 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP, with 42 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings. The strong outing is a great sign for Graveman, who got off to a hot start this year before injuries caused him to pitch ineffectively before going on the DL. He is worth a look in deep mixed and AL-only formats, as his current stats do not reflect his actual abilities.

Graveman (3-3) gave up eight hits but only two earned runs Sunday in a 9-3 win over the Orioles. He also struck out eight and walked one.

The A's have officially reinstated starter Kendall Graveman (shoulder) from the disabled list. To make room on the roster, they optioned Wednesday's starter, Daniel Gossett, to Triple-A Nashville. Graveman will start Thursday against the San Francisco Giants, his first start since May when he went back on the disabled list for the second time. Graveman has pitched to a 3.83 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and an underwhelming 6.1 K/9. Graveman is best utilized in AL-only and deep mixed formats and only after he demonstrates that he is healthy and back to his old self.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list and start against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. Graveman will be taking the rotation spot of the recently departed Sonny Gray, who was dealt to the Yankees on Monday. Graveman has been on the DL two separate times for shoulder injuries this year and has pitched to a 3.83 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and underwhelming 6.1 K/9. A matchup against the weak-hitting Giants is attractive, but Graveman is still too risky to rely on in his first start back. He's hard to justify in mixed leagues because of his low strikeout rate.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Kendall Graveman (hip) has a "decent chance" of making his next start with the A's, according to manager Bob Melvin. Graveman made a rehab start over the weekend. The A's have an opening in their rotation after trading Sonny Gray on Monday, and Graveman looks to fill it. The right-hander has a 3.83 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and underwhelming 6.1 K/9 in 47 innings over eight starts. He's not recommended as a streamer initially, but he could be a useful matchup play in AL-only leagues. His lack of strikeout upside rules him out in most mixed formats.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Sunday that there's a "decent chance" Graveman (shoulder) will make his next start with the big club, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports California reports.

Graveman (shoulder) will make his third, and perhaps final, rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Nashville, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports California reports.

Kendall Graveman (hip) had another rehab start with Triple-A Nashville over the weekend. He threw three innings and gave up seven runs (three earned) on nine hits with one walk and one strikeout. He threw 65 pitches and his velocity was normal, both of which are more important than the poor results. It has yet to be announced if Graveman will be returning to the big club for his next start, or if he will make another rehab start first. The A's have been taking it slow with Graveman after he went on the DL for the second time this season back in late May. Graveman is worth a look in deep mixed and AL-only formats when he returns, but his low strikeout numbers and 1.28 WHIP make him an average fantasy asset at best going forward.

Kendall Graveman (hip) will make at least one more rehab start for Triple-A Nashville before returning to the big club. He threw 46 pitches for Nashville on Wednesday, meaning his next start will likely be next Monday in Nashville. Depending how that start goes will determine if he will return to the A's after that or if he will make another rehab appearance first. The A's have been very cautious with Graveman after he returned too early from injury earlier in the year and re-aggravated it. When he does return he will be worth a look in deep mixed and AL-only formats, but his 3.83 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, combined with his low strikeout numbers, are middling at best.

A's starter Kendall Graveman (hip) threw 46 pitches across 2 1/3 innings for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds in a rehab assignment on Wednesday. He looked a little rough, surrendering four runs on five hits and hitting two batters. However, his fastball sat 93-94 and hit 95. No official word on Graveman's next steps, but he will likely make two more rehab appearances before joining the A's again in early August. The 26-year-old has been out since late May and his return will be a welcome one for the A's, who have suffered through plenty of pitching injuries this season. Graveman has a 3.83 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP on the year and could be a nice add down the stretch in deep mixed and AL-only leagues. His lack of strikeouts and 4.45 FIP make him risky in standard formats, however.
