Jonah Bride - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to Triple-A Bride was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact After being called up Saturday, Bride went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Athletics. With Jake Burger (oblique) returning from the 10-day injured list Monday, Bride was the odd man out on the major-league roster and he'll head back to Jacksonville. The 28-year-old has produced a .349 batting average with seven homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base over 86 at-bats in 25 games at Triple-A this season.

Gets start against lefty Bride is starting at third base and batting eighth in Friday's game versus the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bride was a late addition to the Opening Day roster after the Marlins traded Jon Berti and he winds up getting a start in the club's second game. Jake Burger is sliding over to first base and Josh Bell will be the designated hitter.

Marlins acquire infielder Jonah Bride from Athletics for cash

The Miami Marlins have acquired infielder Jonah Bride from Oakland for cash after the Athletics designated him for assignment last week

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • Associated Press

Optioned to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Bride to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact With Lawrence Butler returning from the bereavement list Friday, Bride will be pushed to Triple-A in order to clear a spot on the active roster. Bride has slashed just .170/.286/.205 across 106 plate appearances in the majors, but he could return to the majors if Oakland needs bench depth down the stretch.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again in favor of Diaz Bride remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Though he seemed to have supplanted Jordan Diaz as the Athletics' primary third baseman last week, Bride now finds himself on the bench for the fourth consecutive game. While starting each of the five games before that, Bride went 3-for-15 with a double and a pair of walks, so he didn't exactly stake a strong claim to a regular spot in the Oakland lineup.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Sunday Bride is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Bride is on the bench Sunday after starting in each of the previous five games while going 3-for-15 with a double, two walks, an RBI and three runs. The last three of his starts came at third base, where he could be emerging as the Athletics' preferred option. Jordan Diaz gets the starting nod at the hot corner Sunday, but he enters the contest in a 2-for-29 funk at the plate over his last 10 games.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Oakland recalled Bride from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Impact Bride will get another shot in the bigs as the Athletics play out the string on a predictably ugly 2023 season. The 27-year-old has slashed just .189/.313/.208 with zero homers and zero steals in 22 games (65 plate appearances) this summer at the MLB level.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Triple-A Bride was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Bride appeared in one contest since being promoted Thursday, as he went 0-for-2 at the plate Friday against the Astros. The Athletics have yet to announce a corresponding move.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Oakland recalled Bride from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Impact This is the corresponding move for Ryan Noda, who went on the injured list Wednesday due to a fractured jaw. Bride has posted excellent offensive numbers at Triple-A over the last two seasons, but the 27-year-old infielder owns a weak .202/.306/.239 career batting line through his first 250 major-league plate appearances.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Raking in return to Vegas Bride owns a .381 average, 1.128 OPS and modest 15.1 percent strikeout rate over the 53 plate appearances covering his last 11 games with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Impact The 27-year-old is back to thriving in the Pacific Coast League, something he's consistently been able to do through his multiple stints with the Aviators over the last season-plus. Bride went 0-for-8 in his first two games back with Las Vegas after being demoted from the Athletics, but he's since churned out six multi-hit efforts, five extra-base hits, eight RBI, 11 walks and 15 runs over the ensuing 11-game span. Bride could potentially earn another call to the big leagues later this summer or upon roster expansion during the final month-plus of the regular season.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A Oakland optioned Bride to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Bride slashed just .196/.323/.216 across 21 games (63 plate appearances) during his four-week stay on the Athletics' major-league roster. Jace Peterson had largely taken over as the team's primary third baseman even before this move.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On base twice Thursday Bride went 1-for-1 with a walk in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

Impact While his final stat line doesn't exactly jump off the page, the fact Bride reached safely twice after hitting .095 over his previous nine games is noteworthy to an extent. In fairness, the young infielder may have also been running into his fair share of bad luck during the skid, as his solid 20.0 percent line-drive rate in that span should have netted much more than the .133 BABIP he was saddled with. Bride still sports some encouraging metrics despite his .222 average and .244 slugging percentage, as a 12.3 percent walk rate has helped him to a .357 OBP and regular playing time prior to his two days before Thursday's game.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Wednesday Bride is out of the lineup again Wednesday versus the Guardians.

Impact Jace Peterson will get another start at the hot corner with Tony Kemp covering second base. Bride, 27, has gone 0-for-14 with two walks and five strikeouts over his last six games and is now slashing just .205/.333/.227 on the year.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Tuesday Bride isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against Cleveland.

Impact Bride is hitless (0-for-14) across his last six games and will now miss his second consecutive start as the A's look for more production at third base. Jace Peterson will slide over to the hot corner Tuesday, allowing Tony Kemp to start at second and bat eighth.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday vs. Phillies Bride is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies.

Impact Bride's struggled mightily at the plate as of late, and a .308 average on June 9 has dropped to .209 after going hitless over his last five games. Jace Pederson is playing third base and batting second against Philadelphia on Sunday while Tony Kemp gets a start at second base and hits seventh.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Bride is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Rays.

Impact Bride has been the Athletics' primary third baseman since being called up in late May, but he'll begin this one on the bench. Jace Peterson will be at third base and Tony Kemp will cover second.

JUNE 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Sunday Bride will sit Sunday versus the Brewers.

Impact Bride will get a day off after he went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a walk while striking out twice over the first two games of the series. Aledmys Diaz will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth as the Athletics go for the sweep Sunday.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plates pair in Friday's win Bride went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a run-scoring sacrifice fly in a win over the Brewers on Friday.

Impact Bride extended his hitting streak to four games with Friday's timely knock, and his pair of RBI pushed his total to four over the last four games. The 27-year-old sports an impressive .308 average (8-for-26) since being promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 30 and appears to be progressively strengthening his grip on the starting third base job.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two more hits Wednesday Bride went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Bride's logged two hits in back-to-back games, boosting his slash line to .304/.407/.348 through his first 27 plate appearances this season. The 27-year-old Bride struggled to a .548 OPS in his rookie campaign, though he posted a .993 mark with eight home runs in 43 games this year with Triple-A Las Vegas. Bride should continue to see regular starts at third base on a rebuilding Oakland team and could be worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets third straight start Bride will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Bride will be making his third consecutive start after going 3-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a run between the first two games of the series in Pittsburgh. Since his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 29, Bride has turned in a modest .679 OPS over 22 plate appearances, but that may be enough for him to at least temporarily settle into a near-everyday role in the Oakland infield.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday vs. MIA Bride is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Marlins.

Impact Bride will open the Sunday's game on the bench, and he hasn't been in the starting lineup for the last two games against the Marlins. Jace Pederson will man the hot corner and hit seventh against Sandy Alcantara and Miami on Sunday.

JUNE 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-hit effort in debut Bride, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 2-for-3 with a run in a win over Atlanta on Monday.

Impact Bride started at third base and carried over his momentum from his tenure with the Aviators, where he'd produced a blistering .308/.416/.577 slash line across 186 plate appearances. Bride limped to a .204 average and .548 OPS over his first 187 big-league plate appearances a season ago, but he's thrived offensively in his last three minor-league stints and should be given a long look on the non-contending A's.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bride makes his return to MLB After spending the season in the minors, former South Carolina third baseman Jonah Bride was called back up to The Show.

MAY 30, 2023 • 247SPORTS.COM

Coming up from Triple-A Bride will be recalled by the Athletics prior to Monday's game against Atlanta, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact It would appear he'll be the replacement for Jesus Aguilar, who is reportedly set to be designated for assignment. Bride has put together a .308/.416/.577 slash line with eight homers in 43 games with Triple-A Las Vegas this season. The 27-year-old had just a .548 OPS in 58 contests with Oakland in 2022. Bride is capable of playing first base, second base and third base and can also fill in at catcher, although he hasn't caught at all this season.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dispatched to minors The Athletics optioned Bride to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact While seeing time at three infield spots (third base, second base and first base) as a rookie in 2022, Bride slashed an unremarkable .204/.301/.247 across 187 plate appearances with Oakland. Though high walk rates and low strikeout rates have been standard for Bride throughout his career, he may need to tap into more power or quality contact if he's to emerge as anything more than a depth or short-side platoon player at the big-league level. The 27-year-old will continue to hone his craft in Las Vegas but should be on the short list for a call-up whenever the Athletics might need a right-handed-hitting infield bat.
