Remains out of lineup Bride isn't starting Wednesday against the Angels.

Impact Bride has hit .204 with a homer, 17 runs, six RBI and a stolen base over 58 major-league games this year and will remain on the bench for a third consecutive matchup to close out the regular season. Chad Pinder will step in at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Impact Tuesday marks the second game in a row that Bride has been left off the starting lineup card. In his place, Ernie Clement will start at third base and bat sixth.

Retreats to bench Bride isn't starting Monday against the Angels.

Impact Bride went 1-for-4 with two runs, a walk and two strikeouts Sunday but will take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Ernie Clement is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

Scores twice in big win Bride went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Filling the DH role, Bride joined the Athletics' offensive explosion with his couple of trips on the basepaths. The rookie, who saw very sparse playing time throughout September, had been mired in an 0-for-17 slump that had encompassed his last 10 games prior to Sunday. Bride's season slash line sits at .206/.304/.250 across 185 plate appearances, but he has displayed some encouraging plate discipline in the form of a 10.3 percent walk rate and modest 17.3 percent strikeout rate.

Sitting Saturday Bride is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

Impact Bride is hitting .214 with two doubles in 13 games this month. Tony Kemp will start at second base and hit leadoff.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Thursday Bride is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Sheldon Neuse will pick up a start in the infield in place of Bride, who went 2-for-12 with three walks and two RBI while cracking the lineup in each of the past four games at either second base or first base. With Seth Brown seeing more time in the outfield of late with Ramon Laureano (oblique) on the injured list and with veterans Jed Lowrie, Stephen Piscotty and Elvis Andrus having recently been released, Bride should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role the rest of the way.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Saturday's lineup Bride will not start Saturday against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bride has made plenty of contact through his first 90 MLB plate appearances, striking out just 15.6 percent of the time, but he's struggled to hit the ball with much authority. A 1.4 percent barrel rate has led to zero home runs and just three extra-base hits, and he's slashing just .229/.289/.265. Nick Allen will start at second base Saturday.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pair of doubles in loss Bride went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a walk and a run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Impact Bride's productive night marked the fifth time he'd hit safely in the last six games, and it featured his first two extra-base hits since he laced a double against the Royals back on June 18 for his first such knock in the majors. The rookie seems to be hitting his stride at the plate somewhat at the big-league level, as he now carries a .258 average and .343 on-base percentage over his last nine games, a span during which he's generated an acceptable 20.0 percent strikeout rate coupled with a solid 11.4 percent walk rate.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Bride isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Impact Bride started the last five games and went 4-for-19 with two walks and four strikeouts. Seth Brown will take over at first base while Stephen Vogt enters the lineup behind the dish.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On base thrice in win Bride went 1-for-2 with two walks in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Impact The rookie has now hit safely in four of the six starts he's drawn coming out of the All-Star break, although all five knocks he's garnered during that period have been singles. Bride has gotten aboard in eight of 25 plate appearances during that stretch, however, an encouraging sample that may indicate he's starting to get a better grasp of big-league arms.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Wednesday's lineup Bride is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bride started three of the past four games and went 2-for-13 with a walk, a run and four strikeouts. Vimael Machin will take over at the hot corner Wednesday.

Riding pine Saturday Bride isn't starting Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Bride started the last three games and went 2-for-11 with two runs, a steal and four strikeouts. Seth Brown is shifting to first base while Nick Allen starts at the keystone Saturday.

JULY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes first bag Bride went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Impact Two games into his return from the injured list, Bride stole his first base of the season and contributed a second consecutive 1-for-3, one-run effort in the process. The rookie never recorded more than three stolen bases at any minor-league stop, however, so fantasy managers should keep expectations tempered in that regard.

JULY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Singles, scores in return Bride (shoulder), reinstated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 1-for-3 with a run in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.

Impact Bride jumped right back into the starting nine in his return from the injured list, slotting in at the keystone. The rookie has a serviceable .244 average over his last 12 games, a span during which he's struck out an impressively modest 9.1 percent clip.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated from injured list Bride (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Bride spent nearly a month on the injured list due to his shoulder injury, but he'll rejoin the active roster after spending a week and a half in the minors on a rehab assignment. He hit .318 with a homer, a double, four runs and three RBI over seven rehab games and should see plenty of playing time at third base now that he's back to full health. However, he isn't starting Monday against the Astros.

JULY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plenty of rehab work during weekend Bride (shoulder) went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs in three games for Single-A Stockton against Fresno over the weekend.

Impact Bride has now appeared in seven rehab games overall and played a full nine innings at third base in two of the three weekend contests with the Ports, seemingly indicating he'd be ready for activation. Given he's been eligible to come off the IL since earlier in July, it's certainly possible Bride is reinstated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's series opener against the Astros.

JULY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set for rehab assignment Bride (shoulder) will report to Single-A Stockton on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bride looked as though he might have a chance at returning from the 10-day injured list immediately coming out of the All-Star break, but the Athletics will instead let him get in some game action in the minors before activating him. Expect Bride to stick around in Stockton through the weekend before likely being reinstated ahead of next week's home series versus Houston. Once activated, Bride will vie with Vimael Machin for everyday duties at third base.

JULY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Chance for Thursday activation Bride (shoulder), who went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Salt Lake on Sunday while serving as the designated hitter, is scheduled to work out Th...

Impact Bride also logged seven innings at third base for the Aviators on Saturday without setbacks, so it would appear he has a good chance of being deemed ready for activation. The rookie was slated to return to Oakland early in the week and receive a final evaluation on the fitness of his shoulder by Thursday, when he might be deemed ready for return.

Productive in first two rehab games Bride (shoulder) has gone 2-for-5 with a double, three walks and a run across his first two rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas while filling the designated hitter role.

Impact Bride has logged a full complement of plate appearances during that pair of contests, and he doesn't appear to have suffered any setbacks with his previously ailing shoulder. The rookie has been sidelined since June 28, and it remains to be seen if the Athletics will opt to activate him at some point during the final weekend of the first half of the season or simply wait until after the All-Star break.

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on rehab assignment Bride (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bride has been sidelined since colliding with teammate Chad Pinder in a late-June game, but he is close to getting back on the field. Bride both hit and threw Monday, and if he responds well his next step will likely be a stint with Triple-A Las Vegas.

JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Progresses to taking swings Bride (shoulder) has progressed to swinging a bat, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The rookie had already engaged in pregame sprints before Monday's game, so it's been a solid week on the recovery front. However, Bride is still likely a few days away, at minimum, from a return.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes progress Monday Bride (shoulder) took part in pregame sprints before Monday's game against the Blue Jays, but a return from the injured list in the minimum amount of time is still "not realistic,"...

Impact Bride hit the injured list Tuesday, and he received a cortisone injection to remove fluid from his strained shoulder a day later. The rookie would be eligible to first return July 6, but Kotsay cast significant doubt on that possibility because of the time the cortisone injection takes to have full effect. The Athletics skipper also noted a rehab assignment remains a possibility for Bride depending how his recovery continues to unfold.
