Jacob Lopez Set for Cactus League Debut Following Elbow Recovery

Left-hander Jacob Lopez is scheduled to start Sunday's Cactus League game against the Angels. Lopez spent the early part of camp building up strength after finishing the 2025 season on the injured list due to an elbow strain. Coming off a 2025 campaign where he posted a 4.08 ERA over 92.2 innings, the 27-year-old is expected to compete for a spot in the Athletics' starting rotation for the upcoming season.
