Peterson's big bat boosts A's vibes: 'It just felt different today' PITTSBURGH -- After Jace Peterson booted what was likely an inning-ending double-play ball for an error that gave the Pirates a one-run lead...

JUNE 7, 2023 • MLB.COM

Homers twice, drives in five Peterson went 5-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Impact Peterson was exceptional Tuesday, going a perfect 5-for-5 from the plate with three singles and two long balls to mark the first multi-homer performance of his 10-year career. The outburst snapped a cold streak for Peterson, who entered the contest 4-for-35 (.114) across his last 12 games. Though he serves as the Athletics' everyday third baseman, his fantasy upside is capped by the Athletics' lack of offensive firepower and his late position in the order.

Swipes sixth bag Peterson went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a steal in Sunday's loss against the Marlins.

Impact Peterson's now 6-for-7 on stolen base attempts this season. The veteran infielder hasn't offered much at the plate, however, going 4-for-32 (.125) in his last 11 games. Though he's still serving as Oakland's primary third baseman, Peterson is slashing just .197/.294/.280 with three homers, 15 runs scored and 13 RBI through 180 plate appearances this season.

Absent from lineup Peterson is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Marlins.

Impact Peterson has now been on the bench two of the last three games and the one time he was in there was against a lefty, which is a little odd. The Athletics are going with Tony Kemp at second base and Jonah Bride at third Friday.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Tuesday Peterson isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Impact Peterson will take off Tuesday after recording his first RBI in 11 games during Monday's contest. While Peterson sits, Jonah Bride will start at third base and bat seventh.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up fifth steal Peterson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Astros.

Impact Peterson went hitless for the fifth time in his last six games, a span in which he's gone 1-for-19, but he was able to make an impact in his one trip on base. The steal was his fifth of the season. He's hitting just .146 (6-for-41) over his last 14 contests, but the Athletics are lacking for more effective options. Peterson has a .194/.291/.285 slash line with three home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored through 165 plate appearances as Oakland's primary third baseman this year.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Peterson is not in the starting lineup Saturday against Houston.

Impact Peterson will get a breather as Oakland faces southpaw Framber Valdez on the mound. Aledmys Diaz will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth versus the Astros.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Sunday Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Peterson has a .693 OPS through 16 games in May and will take a seat Sunday with lefty Framber Valdez pitching for Houston. Nick Allen will start at shortstop with Aledmys Diaz covering the hot corner.

MAY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Belts third homer in loss Peterson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Impact Peterson's 409-foot shot to right center in the eighth inning accounted for the Athletics' final run of the night. The veteran is still carrying a lackluster .212/.308/.327 slash line across 130 plate appearances for the season, but he's now reached safely in seven of the last eight games, a stretch during which he's hitting .333 with two home runs, four walks, four RBI and three runs over 25 plate appearances.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Peterson has a .229/.308/.314 slash line and 28.2 percent strikeout rate through 11 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday with lefty Andrew Heaney pitching for Texas. Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) will start at the hot corner in his return from the injured list.

Homers Wednesday Peterson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 11-3 loss against the Yankees.

Impact Peterson cut the A's deficit to 4-2 in the second inning with a solo shot off Jhony Brito, going back-to-back with Carlos Perez. It's the second home run of the season for Peterson and his first since April 3. The 33-year-old utilityman has a modest four-game hitting streak, going 5-for-11 in that span. Still, it's hard to see a path toward fantasy relevance for Peterson while playing a part-time role on a struggling Oakland team. On the season, he's slashing just .214/.305/.311 with 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases through 118 plate appearances.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Peterson is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Yankees.

Impact Peterson will remain on the bench Monday as the Athletics face left-hander Nestor Cortes on the mound. Kevin Smith will draw the start at third base and bat eighth in the series opener.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits for series finale Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact The lefty-hitting Peterson will see his streak of eight consecutive starts come to an end while the Royals bring a southpaw (Ryan Yarbrough) to the hill for the series finale. Kevin Smith will replace Peterson at third base and will bat eighth.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another steal Wednesday Peterson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in the Athletics' extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

Impact Peterson swiped second base for the second straight night to push his season total to four. The veteran infielder now has a four-game hitting streak as well, his longest stretch of success at the plate in a season where he's still sporting just a .205/.302/.289 slash line across 96 plate appearances.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag in loss Peterson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Peterson hit a seventh-inning single and stole second, but he was stranded on base. The infielder has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-11 with two walks and two runs scored in that span. He's up to a .203/.304/.291 slash line with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and nine runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season. Peterson has seen a little more than a strong-side platoon role, but he's only a lock for the lineup against right-handed pitchers.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against southpaw Peterson is out of the lineup against the Angels on Wednesday.

Impact Peterson is once again taking a seat against a southpaw as he has for the majority of the 2023 campaign. Aledmys Diaz will move over to the hot corner in Peterson's absence.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Laces triple Tuesday Peterson went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact Peterson's first-inning three-bagger, his first of the season, plated Ryan Noda to give the Athletics an early lead. The veteran's three-bagger represented a brief reprieve from the 1-for-17 funk he'd gone into the contest with, but he's still sitting on a .190/.288/.302 slash line across 73 plate appearances this season.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Sunday Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's battle against the Angels.

Impact Peterson will take a seat as usual against a left-hander with Jose Suarez on the bump for the Angels. Aledmys Diaz will start at third base with Peterson on the bench.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Peterson will be on the bench Saturday against the Rangers.

Impact Peterson has been in nearly a strict platoon this season, starting just once against a lefty. With Andrew Heaney on the mound Saturday, Aledmys Diaz gets the nod at third base.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits in series finale Peterson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact After he was limited to a pinch-hitting role in Monday's 10-1 loss while he tended to a wrist injury, Peterson rejoined the lineup for Tuesday's 4-0 loss and went 0-for-1 with a trio of walks. He'll be back on the bench for the series finale, but the lefty-hitting Peterson's absence likely has more to do with a southpaw (Justin Steele) being on the hill for Chicago rather than any concern about the wrist.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws three walks in return Peterson (wrist) made his return from a one-game absence in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs and went 0-for-1 with three walks.

Impact The disciplined night at the plate pushed Peterson's OBP over the .300 threshold for the first time all season. The veteran is still hitting just .200 over his first 59 plate appearances, but his 13.6 percent walk rate qualifies as the second-highest figure of his career.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Peterson (wrist) is back in the lineup and hitting fifth while playing third base against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Impact Peterson missed Monday's game while dealing with a wrist injury he suffered during Sunday's game against the Mets. Aledmys Diaz is the designated hitter for Tuesday's game and Jesus Aguilar will begin the contest on the bench.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with sore left wrist Athletics manager Mark Kotsay announced that Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs with a sore left wrist, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle r...

Impact The injury occurred when Peterson rolled his left wrist on a dive during Sunday's game against the Mets. Kotsay did say that the infielder could be available if needed off the bench, so Peterson should be considered day-to-day at this point.
