JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof homers power Athletics to an 11-2 win over the Cardinals

Playing time trending down Bleday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Bleday is on the bench for the third time in four matchups with right-handed pitchers and looks to have lost hold of a strong-side platoon role in the Athletics outfield. Until Denzel Clarke (adductor) returns from the injured list, the Athletics may continue to take a committee approach to right field rather than relying on Bleday or another player on an everyday basis.

Idle for series finale Bleday is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Bleday had started in each of the Athletics' last three games against right-handed pitchers, but after mustering just one hit while striking out four times in 13 plate appearances over that stretch, he'll hit the bench Thursday. Carlos Cortes will fill in as the starting right fielder in place of Bleday as the Athletics take on Minnesota right-hander Jose Urena.

Getting regular run vs. RHPs Bleday will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Bleday will remain in the lineup for a third straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Bailey Ober) and appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon in right field with the right-handed-hitting Colby Thomas. Since getting called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 1, Bleday has slashed .333/.395/.564 with two home runs and a 4:11 BB:K in 11 games.

Drives in six runs Bleday went 4-for-6 with a two-run homer, a double, six RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact Bleday homered amidst a four-hit game for a second consecutive start since he was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday. He's now gone 8-for-11 with two doubles, two homers, seven RBI and five runs scored since being back with the big club. The outfield remains a bit crowded in Sacramento, but as long as Bleday is swinging a hot bat, he should continue to get opportunities at the plate.

Perfect at the plate during loss Bleday went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, and three runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Bleday delivered one of his best games of the season, capping off a perfect day at the plate with a solo shot off Kyle Nelson in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old outfielder had his first four-hit effort since August 2024, but despite the standout performance, Bleday has struggled at the dish this season, slashing just .206/.298/.388 through 64 games. Sunday's outburst could be a step toward turning things around as the second half unfolds.

Impact With Miguel Andujar dealt to the Reds on Thursday, Bleday will rejoin the big club. Bleday has struggled at the plate with the Athletics this season, slashing .191/.288/.358 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored, one stolen base and a 28:57 BB:K across 233 plate appearances.

Shea Langeliers hits a 3-run homer for the A's in his return from an oblique injury

Sent back to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Bleday to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Bleday was swapped off the 26-man active roster with another outfielder in Colby Thomas, who was called up from Triple-A and could settle into the short side of a platoon at a corner spot with either Tyler Soderstrom or Lawrence Butler while also offering depth in center behind Denzel Clarke. Though he was up with the Athletics for nearly a month during his latest stint in the big leagues, Bleday started in just nine of 26 games and slashed .135/.273/.324 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate.

Homers off bench Monday Bleday hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

Impact Bleday could get shuffled out of the lineup more frequently now that Nick Kurtz (hip) is back from a stint on the injured list. Bleday was on the bench to start Monday, but he delivered when entering as a pinch hitter for Willie MacIver in the eighth inning. Kurtz's return will likely mean more of Tyler Soderstrom in left field, though Bleday could also push Denzel Clarke in center field, which is a place where Bleday would have a platoon advantage. He'll still need to hit his way into a job, as he's sporting a mediocre .200/.300/.367 slash line with seven homers, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and a stolen base over 207 plate appearances this season.
