A football player of William Jewell College passed away on Saturday following his collapse on the sidelines of the school's season-opener game just minutes after he scored a touchdown, the school said.
Junior running back MicahJo Barnett received medical help at Greene Stadium and was then transported to the nearest hospital by an ambulance, where he was declared dead. Liberty authorities said the medical team responded to the player 20 minutes after kickoff but provided no other details. He was 21 years old.
The game against Fort Lewis College, another NCAA Division II squad, was stopped and later canceled. Barnett scored the touchdown by running for 1 yard with 5:15 left in the first quarter, and play was interrupted with 4:32 remaining after Fort Lewis punts went out of bounds, according to online match statistics. He gained 30 yards in six carries, and William Jewell led the score 7-0.
"William Jewell College and the Liberty community mourn the passing of MicahJo Barnett. Our thoughts and prayers are with MicahJo's family, teammates, friends, coaches, and faculty and staff," said the school in its statement. Liberty Fire EMS stated that Barnett showed seizure-like symptoms, as reported by Fox4 KC.
The cause of death is still not clear. A college spokeswoman told Newsweek that Barnett had no known pre-existing condition that could have prevented him from playing, and that no further information about the nature or cause of the emergency is available at this time. Barnett was enrolled in the business administration program and was connected to Liberty, the city where William Jewell's campus is located. While being a senior at Liberty North, he helped the Eagles win a Missouri state championship.

Former NFL player Robert Griffin III sent his prayers to the family of William Jewel College RB MicahJo Barnett after his shocking on-field death.
Barnett scored a touchdown in his college's season opener against Fort Lewis College at Greene Stadium, converting a 1-yard run with 5:15 left in the first quarter.
Unfortunately, he would collapse on the sideline 20 minutes later with seizure-like symptoms, and despite receiving treatment and being rushed to a nearby hospital, the 20-year-old RB was ****** ounced dead.
This news has shaken the entire world of American football.
Former NFL star Robert Griffin III is one of the only notable NFL legends or current players to publicly react to this incredibly sad development, sending prayers to MicahJo Barnett's family and friends.

William Jewell College running back MicahJo Barnett scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the Division II program's season opener against Fort Lewis College in Liberty, Missouri, on Saturday.
Barnett celebrated in the end zone with his teammates, and nothing appeared amiss. Shortly afterward, however, the game was suspended.
"Heartbreaking scene at William Jewell," Fox4 Kansas City's Harold R. Kuntz reported on X. "Play was suspended in the 1st quarter after a player, according to Liberty Fire EMS, suffered seizure-like symptoms. Happened on sideline. Awaiting word on health of player. Prayers to the Jewell Cardinals and their family."
Barnett was rushed to a local hospital, where he was ****** ounced dead, according to the Kansas City Star. William Jewell College also confirmed Barnett's death. In addition to playing on the football team, Barnett was a junior business administration major at Jewell.
"I want to say that we appreciate the response that we received from the sheriff's office, the police department, the EMS department, the physician for the team, everybody responded so quickly, so well," William Jewell College interim president Dr. Dave Van Horn said.

William Jewell announced that junior running back MicahJo Barnett has died. Barnett appeared to suffer a medical emergency on the sideline during the Cardinals' home opener against Fort Lewis on Saturday.
"William Jewell College and the Liberty, Missouri community mourn the passing of Micah Jo Barnett," the school wrote in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Micah Jo's family, our students, the Cardinal Football family, and the rest of our community during this time of loss."
Per the school, a vigil to honor Barnett will be held Saturday night.
Play was suspended in the first quarter on Saturday after Barnett began suffering from what Liberty Fire EMS called "seizure-like symptoms," via Fox4 KC's Harold R. Kuntz. The game was later called off, with Kuntz reporting that Jewell players were emotional as they left the facility.
Barnett, who is from Liberty and attended Liberty North High School, was majoring in business administration, per the athletic department's website. After playing in eight games as a freshman, he started in five games last season before suffering a season-ending injury. Barnett also received all-Great Lakes Valley Conference academic honors last season.

Aug. 29—GRAND FORKS — High school recruiting has traditionally been the lifeblood of college athletics.
The advent of NIL (name, image, likeness) payments and the transfer portal hasn't changed that. Yet for some basketball teams in the Summit League, the new variables are transforming how coaches recruit high school athletes.
"High school is incredibly important," Oral Roberts coach Kory Barnett said. "It's huge for you to be able to still build out that one, two, three years of getting to know a kid and the ones that really fit you. That's incredibly important. But with where the portal stands ... you have to be ready to adjust."
Coaches nationwide face massive attrition from season to season. UND, for example, will enter 2026-27 with just three returning players. North Dakota State lost eight players to the transfer portal.
Each spring, programs are forced to rebuild on the fly. The portal provides myriad options, with players entering from every division of college basketball.

Chris Barnett is officially the first male UFC fighter to cross over into PowerSlap.
The former UFC heavyweight signed a deal with PowerSlap – the Dana-White-owned slapping competition. The promotion announced the news on Wednesday through Instagram. No information about his debut was mentioned with the announcement.
Barnett, 40, has yet to compete since his UFC release in 2025. "Huggy Bear" competed in the UFC for four years, joining in 2021 after a lengthy career in the regional scene, where he went 21-6. In his tenure with the UFC, Barnett competed six times, going 2-4, and winning one Performance of the Night bonus for his TKO win over Gian Villante.

A Colorado elementary school teacher was found dead inside her home, and investigators said evidence at the home raised questions about her husband's account of what happened.
Patrick Theodore "Ted" Barnett, 40, was arrested in the death of his wife, 37-year-old Lindsey Barnett, and is being held without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder, Lakewood police said.
An arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital revealed new details about the investigation and what detectives said led them to suspect Barnett in his wife's death.
Barnett called 911 shortly after 6 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2026 and said Lindsey had cut herself and her throat and was not breathing, according to the affidavit. He sounded frantic and told dispatchers their two young children, a toddler and an infant, were inside the Lakewood home.

The A's dropped their first game in Kansas City last night, losing 9-5 and dropping the club to 49-76, tied with the Angels for the worst record in the sport. If the club ever needed a win, tonight's the night.
Before the game the A's made a minor move for some extra bullpen depth, adding the recently-claimed Taylor Rashi to the active roster:
The right-hander has very minimal big league experience, with 10 games last year and three this season. The former Giants and Diamondbacks farmhand has generally put up good numbers in the minors, including a 2.56 ERA in 24 appearances this year. With the state of the bullpen Rashi is as good as any reliever to give a shot and see if the A's can catch lightning in a bottle.
To make room on the roster right-hander Mason Barnett was optioned to Triple-A. He was in the rotation the past couple turns but he struggled in his chances and will now head back to the minors and continue to work on honing his craft. The A's will need to make a move for a new starter sometime later this week.
It'll be right-hander Jack Perkins getting the ball this evening for his 12th start this year. It hasn't been an easy year for the rookie, who began in the bullpen before being asked to take on a starter's role halfway through the year. The results have been unexpected as he's struggled to an 8.17 ERA during his starting ****** ignments so far. He's not exactly trending in the right direction either as he's gotten smacked for at least five runs in his past three starts. Hopefully he'll be able to turn things around tonight in Kansas City against a fellow bottom-dweller in the Royals, though last night should warn everyone that they still got some big bats in that lineup of theirs.

The Athletics struck first, a Jeff McNeil homer on the first pitch of the game, to go ahead against Michael Wacha right at the start. But the Royals roared back, scoring in five separate innings, to win the game 9-5 in Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia's return from the injured list.
The two returning players combined to go 3-9, but that was mostly Garcia. In the first inning, Bobby Witt Jr and Jac Caglianone got on base with a walk and a single then advanced on a wild pitch. In his first plate appearance back, Garcia singled to right field to score Witt. On the throw home, Garcia went to second. Vinnie then popped a weak flyout in his first plate appearance back, but Salvador Perez picked him up. With two outs and runners going on contact, Salvador Perez knocked in both runners with a trademark "reach a down-and-outside breaking pitch that was obviously a ball but get a hit anyway" to make it 3-1.
For once, that was a lead the Royals would NOT give away, as the Royals kept piling on more runs.
In the second inning, after a Kyle Isbel walk, Carter Jensen took a pitch well above the strike nearly to the right field bullpen. Unfortunately, Lawrence Butler caught it standing just in front of the fence. But then Bobby Witt Jr got Athletics starter, and former Royal, Mason Barnett – Witt lasered a line drive homer to left-center field to score two more runs to make it 5-1 (Isbel had reached earlier on a walk).
In a long third inning with some pitchcom delays, the bottom of the lineup strung together a single, a walk, and another single to score a run, which knocked out Barnett with the score 6-1 Royals.

The Athletics began the week with a Monday night matchup against the Kansas City Royals in the first game of this four-game series. The A's dropped the series opener 9-5 in another game where a poor performance from the Green and Gold's starting pitcher's put them in an unrecoverable hole. The team's offense battled back but ultimately came up short.
The A's offense got to Royals starter Michael Wacha immediately. First baseman Jeff McNeil hit the first pitch of the game over the right-field fence. His sixth home run of the season and fourth career leadoff homer put the visitors up 1-0 before most fans had found their seats. The A's had a chance to score more, but Carlos Cortes grounded into the first of two inning-ending double plays he hit into in this game.
A's starter Mason Barnett, pitching against the franchise that drafted him, allowed the Royals to answer right back. In his first game back from the injured list, Maikel Garcia's RBI single scored Bobby Witt Jr. to tie the game at 1. Barnett was unable to stop the bleeding, as Royals designated hitter Salvador Perez hit a two-out, two-run single to put the hosts up 3-1 after the first inning.
Barnett's struggles continued in the bottom of that inning. With one out, Witt Jr. hit his 15th home run of the season, a two-run shot to left center field, extending Kansas City's lead to 5-1.
In the bottom of the third, Kyle Isbel's two-out RBI single brought home the Royals' sixth run of the night and ended Barnett's outing. The A's right-hander allowed six runs on seven hits, four walks, two wild pitches and one home run over just 2 2/3 innings. The Royals went 4-for-6 with runners in scoring position against the A's starter.

The vagabond Athletics will make their annual journey to Kansas City for the home series this week. They stand at 49-75. Heading into July, FanGraphs playoff odds had them about equal to the Astros for making the playoffs. They have had some truly unfortunate injury issues, with Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers both on the injured list right now.
It's not like the Royals are much better at 51-74, but tonight Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia are returning to the squad and will start.
Hopefully those guys are healthy and rested and can show us what they can do the rest of the season.
The Royals will put Michael Wacha on the hill. Once again, I seem to get him a lot for my Monday games. He's had a run of pretty good starts over the past few weeks, and with two of the Athletics stars out, no reason to believe that won't continue.
Mason Barnett starts for the Athletics. The Athletics got him from the Royals in the Lucas Erceg trade in 2024. This year, he's been stretched into a starter only in the past few weeks and has generally been shelled.

This past weekend, the Athletics finished the homestand on a positive note, winning two of three games against the Texas Rangers for their first series victory at Sutter Health Park since the end of May.
The A's will look to carry that momentum into this roadtrip, which begins tonight with the first of a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Both teams entered this season with playoff expectations, yet find themselves in last place in their respective mediocre divisions with two of the three worst records in the league.
A major reason behind the A's success against the Rangers was their starting pitching, as all three starters tossed six solid innings, giving the Green and Gold the chance to win each game. Tonight, A's right-hander Mason Barnett will start the series opener in Kansas City, looking to deliver his best outing since joining the starting rotation and give the team another quality start.
The 25-year-old enters his 18th appearance and fourth start of the season with a 1-3 record, a 6.16 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP and 36 strikeouts over 38 innings. After lasting five innings in his first start a few weeks ago, Barnett has failed to make it past four innings in his last two outings. Most recently, he took the loss against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over four innings pitched.
With the A's not receiving an off day in between these two series, the team needs Barnett to pitch efficiently and effectively. Today would be as good a day as any for the youngster to earn his first win as a starting pitcher this year. Additionally, a quality start could help him maintain his place in the rotation. Veteran left-hander Jeffrey Springs will return from the injured list soon. He will likely replace either Barnett or tomorrow's scheduled starter, Jack Perkins.

Happy Monday, everyone. In case you missed it, we learned about the severity of AK Dear's ankle injury over the weekend.
Alabama running back AK Dear is expected to miss about six weeks because of an ankle injury sustained in a preseason scrimmage, according to multiple reports.
Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said Thursday that Dear was injured in the first of two scrimmages and would be evaluated. Tests revealed the severity of the injury, 247Sports and On3 reported Friday.
That would put him in line to return somewhere around the Georgia game. EJ Crowell reportedly had a minor ankle tweak that he suffered on August 9. Hopefully we see him soon, but in the meantime less heralded freshman Trae'shawn Brown is causing a stir. As Chase Goodbread notes, hitting on those types of players is how a GM builds a reputation.
Last December, Alabama was set to make running back Javari Barnett part of its 2026 signing class. But Barnett, who had vacillated between UA and Illinois in the recruiting process, dropped UA and chose the Illini at the eleventh hour. Barnett also had offers from the likes of Penn State, Miami, Tennessee and Texas A&M, but when a player like that bails on a commitment too close to signing day, the vacancy can't always be filled by a player in similarly high demand.

Tottenham Hotspur concluded an unbeaten preseason campaign with a 2-2 draw against TSG Hoffenheim.
Following yesterday's 3-0 win against the Bundesliga side, this was a more casual affair with the match held at Spurs' training ground as Roberto De Zerbi named a heavily rotated side. It was the visitors who opened the scoring via a penalty, as James Maddison dragged down Leon Avdullahu, before Spurs struck twice before half-time courtesy of Ben Davies and Luca Williams-Barnett. An equalizer by The Kraichgauers as Valentin Gendry smashed home a volley was the lone goal of the second half.
Here are my top ten talking points from Spurs' final match of preseason against TSG Hoffenheim (again).
As predicted in yesterday's takeaways piece, many of the players that had either been absent this preseason or had seen limited involvement thus far were named in today's XI. James Maddison, Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, Souza, and Damola Ajayi made their first appearances of preseason, with Kevin Danso and Mateus Fernandes returning to the side after having limited involvement.
It was a promising sign for the strength of the coming weekend's squad, with De Zerbi potentially having a deeper set of players from which to choose a more well-rounded side.

There are any number of ways to judge the performance of Courtney Morgan, the Alabama football general manager responsible for the all-important roles of recruiting coordination, transfer portal oversight, and overall roster management.
Talent level is one. Efficiency of NIL spending is another. And Trae'shawn Brown is a third.
Or at least, his circumstance is.
Last December, Alabama was set to make running back Javari Barnett part of its 2026 signing class. But Barnett, who had vacillated between UA and Illinois in the recruiting process, dropped UA and chose the Illini at the eleventh hour. Barnett also had offers from the likes of Penn State, Miami, Tennessee and Texas A&M, but when a player like that bails on a commitment too close to signing day, the vacancy can't always be filled by a player in similarly high demand.
The spot has to be backfilled by identifying an unknown like Brown. And whether than unknown can play at an SEC level is what makes GM's like Morgan good, or not as good, at what they do.

The Rays looked to make it eight straight against the Sacramento Athletics tonight, as Nick Martinez took the hill for Tampa Bay. Opposite him was 25 year old Mason Barnett, making just his eighth career start at the major league level.
The Rays offense didn't take long to get things started, as Junior Caminero crushed his 35th homer of the year:
Junior Caminero makes it a 4-way tie atop the league with 35 home runs! pic.twitter.com/SZoVyS74Am
That was the second homer in as many games for Caminero. Dating back to August 5, his last three hits have left the yard.
Things stayed put until the top of the third when the Rays scored their third run on a sacrifice fly by *checks notes* Chandler Simpson. It would only take one more inning before the Rays would tack on two more from another unlikely source, as Taylor Walls hit his first home run of 2026:

The Athletics dropped the second game of their three-game series against the Rays on Tuesday night, losing in embarrassing fashion to Tampa Bay 12-4 on a warm night in Sacramento. The A's will now have their backs up against the wall tomorrow as they'll hope to avoid the sweep in front of the home crowd. And with the Angels' win tonight, they need a win to avoid the cellar of the American League. How did it come to this?
Tampa didn't wait to get going against A's starter Mason Barnett. Just two batters into the game the Rays were up 2-0 thanks to a two-run blast off the bat of Rays slugger Junior Caminero, his 35th of the year which puts him in a tie for the league lead.
Tampa would add on another in the third inning thanks to two walks and a wild pitch from Barnett, then three more in the fourth off back-to-back home runs, another two-run blast and a solo home run. After four innings the Rays had already tagged Barnett for six runs (five earned). That would be it for Barnett in this one, making way for lefty Brady Basso to start the fifth inning.
Mason Barnett: 4 IP, 5 H, 6 R (5 ER), 3 BB, 0 K, 3 HR, 67 pitches
Not a great outing from Barnett and that's back-to-back duds from the righty. There's no guarantee he's **** ured another start the next time through the rotation but with the lack of other options it's likely he gets another go, which would come next against the team that traded him, the Kansas City Royals. Not a bad matchup to let the young pitcher go prove something.

Barnet defender Danny Collinge has signed a new "long-term" contract with the club.
The 28-year-old joined Barnet in 2022 and has made 160 appearances for the Bees, scoring 17 goals.
He was part of the side that won the National League ****** le in 2024-25 and featured in all but three games last season.
Manager Dean Brennan described Collinge as a "serious leader" and said the new deal rewarded his importance to the squad.
"I think the club's on a really good trajectory and it's something I want to be a part of," said Collinge.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Elly De La Cruz hit his fourth career leadoff home run — one of four homers by Cincinnati — and the Reds beat the Athletics 6-5 on Thursday afternoon to complete a three-game sweep.
The Reds (56-58) improved to 13-6 since the All-Star break. The A's (45-70) have lost eight straight games and 12 straight series.
Brian Serven hit a two-run homer off Brock Burke to get the A's within a run in the ninth. It was Serven's second homer. Burke retired the next two batters for his second save.
De La Cruz led off the game with his 19th home run of the season off A's left-hander Mason Barnett.
Barnett (1-2) made his second straight start after 14 relief appearances. He allowed five earned runs in 4 1/3 innings with three walks and seven strikeouts.

With one month remaining until the start of Northwestern's football season, head coach David Braun and his team are officially in fall camp and making final preparations for September.
The Big Ten Media Days in downtown Chicago have officially concluded after all 18 coaches and their players shared their thoughts on the upcoming season. Along with Coach Braun, Griffin Wilde, Caleb Komolafe and Robert Fitzgerald made an appearance to discuss their thoughts on the upcoming season.
After hearing from some of the biggest names on the roster, here are the biggest takeaways from the afternoon:
While easier said than done, Coach Braun laid out his vision for the future of Northwestern football. While he thanked the previous coaches of the 'Cats, he made it very clear that he wants to change the course of Northwestern football. He no longer wants the status quo of a mid-tier football team that makes a bowl game; he wants it all.
"What's been achieved over the last three decades under Coach Barnett, Coach Walker and Coach Fitz is something we will always talk about as a program," Braun said in his opening statement. "I have a level of appreciation of what has been accomplished. But there is also an acknowledgement and an 'and' proposition that we have expectations to do it better than we've ever done it before."

The Chicago Bears amped up the intensity during Tuesday's padded practice, which featured several live periods and brought out the emotions. So it's not surprise that the first scuffle of the summer broke out, featuring a pair of notable rookies.
According to Sean Hammond, sixth-round rookie defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg slammed undrafted rookie offensive lineman Caden Barnett into the ground after a snap with the third-team units. It was the first time tempers have flared at Halas Hall this summer.
Patrick Finley added that defensive end Montez Sweat "appeared very excited." In fact, the whole defense was "fired up," according to Greg Braggs.
More to come.

There are once again a lot of familiar quarterbacks in new places ahead of the 2026 college football season. Here are the most notable quarterbacks who changed schools during the offseason.
Arnold was Auburn's primary quarterback in 2025, but threw for just six touchdowns across 215 passing attempts in 10 games and transferred after Hugh Freeze's departure. The former highly touted Oklahoma recruit now heads west to play for former Florida coach Dan Mullen and hopes that his third school in four seasons will facilitate a breakout season.
With James Madison coach Bob Chesney now at UCLA, Barnett left for a power conference school too after leading the Dukes to the College Football Playoff in 2025. In two seasons as JMU's starter, Barnett threw for over 5,400 yards and 49 TDs to just 13 interceptions. He also rushed for 589 yards and 15 TDs in 2025.
The three-year starter at Iowa State will play his final season of college football in the Big Ten after following coach Matt Campbell to State College. Becht's stats dropped in 2025 as Iowa State won three fewer games than it did in 2024, but he tossed 64 career TDs and threw for 9,274 yards over 42 games with the Cyclones.
Boley was Kentucky's main quarterback in 2025 as the Mark Stoops era came to an ignominious end. Boley threw for 15 TDs and 12 interceptions in 2025 and now heads to Tempe as the favorite to start for coach Kenny Dillingham.

ORLANDO — Few expected much from Scott Frost's second UCF season last time around. Then, the Knights caught lightning in a bottle, beat every team in their path and claimed a national ***** le when the NCAA's Colley Matrix rating system crowned them as champions.
As it opens training camp Aug. 3, UCF faces incredibly long odds to repeat that feat in 2026, projected to finish in the bottom half of the Big 12 for a fourth consecutive year. The Knights are 7-20 against league opponents, including a 2-12 mark away from the Acrisure Bounce House.
Frost and four players addressed local and national reporters July 7 at the Big 12's media days in Frisco, Texas. However, many of the questions asked then will not have an answer until the Knights take the field — for practice and beyond.
Here are three important queries that could define whether UCF can push toward the conference's upper echelon, or whether it will be another battle to scrape a bowl game come November.
On paper, the Knights should have gotten significantly better behind center with the addition of Alonza Barnett III from James Madison. He earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors with 2,806 passing yards, 589 rushing yards and 38 touchdowns, leading the Dukes to an unlikely appearance in the College Football Playoff.

Teenage forward Luca Williams-Barnett stole the show in Tottenham's 4-2 penalty shootout win over Sydney FC in a sign of how the club have changed.
The 17-year-old, who started the second half on the left but moved into his favoured attacking midfield position, opted for the first penalty and nonchalantly chipped a panenka down the middle.
It preceded a shootout in which Sydney FC duo Joe Lacey and Alexander Popovic hit the post and had a penalty saved by goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, with Sandro Tonali, debutant Andrew Robertson and Dane Scarlett all scoring to secure victory after a 1-1 draw.
Williams-Barnett stole the show to such an extent that his manager Roberto De Zerbi was describing him as a "precious diamond" after the match.
He added: "We have to work on him in the final third and he must work hard on his physicality. I've worked with a lot of young players in my time and he's a potentially special player."

The Green Bay Packers announced four roster moves ahead of the start of training camp, including a swap of international exemption players.
The team released kicker Lucas Havrisik and edge rusher Dante Barnett and signed tight end Thomas Yassmin and kicker Lenny Krieg on Tuesday.
The kicker swap means Krieg will now represent the competition for rookie Trey Smack, while the addition of Yassmin provides a healthy body at tight end, where the Packers are dealing with injuries to Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave (both on the PUP list) to start camp.
Krieg made a 57-yard field goal and his lone extra point attempt during the preseason with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025.
Yassmin, a former Rugby player, played 42 snaps during the preseason with the Denver Broncos in 2024 and 13 with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025. He has never appeared in a regular season game.

Former Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest striker Britt ******* ombalonga has joined National League North side Harborough Town on an undisclosed contract.
The 33-year-old, who has spent much of his career playing in the Championship and League One, was released by League Two side Barnet at the end of last season.
Assombalonga, a former DR Congo international, who has also had spells at Watford, Peterborough and Turkish side Antalyaspor, has made 486 senior appearances, scoring 173 goals.
"With Britt moving locally, we had the opportunity to bring him in for pre-season and see whether he still had the bit between his teeth," said Bees boss Mitch Austin.
"I'm going to be on him because I want him to have a high-scoring season with us. We want to get the best out of him while making sure he enjoys his football."

PHOENIX — The Athletics placed right-hander J.T. Ginn on the 15-day injured list with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand.
The move is retroactive to when Ginn threw 6 1/3 shutout innings while striking out seven and walking three in a 15-1 victory over Washington. For the season, Ginn is 8-6 with a 3.46 ERA in 109 1/3 innings, including 19 starts.
The Athletics recalled right-hander Mason Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the roster spot. Barrett was 1-0 with a 4.64 ERA in 21 1/3 innings in his earlier relief appearances for the team, though he was working as a starter in the minors.
The A’s have a season-high 11 players on the injured list.
