The Athletics announced Friday that right-hander Gunnar Hoglund will be shelved for the remainder of the 2025 season after successful hip surgery.

The first-year pitcher had been placed on the 15-day injured list with hip impingement on June 2, retroactive to June 1. The A's described the surgery as a "hip labral repair and cartilage debridement" on his right hip.

Hoglund, 25, made his major league debut for the Athletics this season after being selected 19th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2021 MLB Draft. He won his first appearance, a six-inning start against the hos Miami Marlins on May 2, in which he nabbed seven strikeouts and surrendered one run in a 6-1 win.

Subsequent outings throughout May were less effective. He sits at 1-3 on the season with a 6.40 ERA and 23 strikeouts over six starts (32 1/3 innings).
