Resting Thursday Butler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The Athletics are wrapping up their series in Detroit with a day game after a night game and are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Dietrich Enns), so manager Mark Kotsay likely viewed Thursday's contest as a good opportunity to give the left-handed-hitting Butler a breather. Brent Rooker will step in as the Athletics' starter in right field after Butler went 6-for-24 with a home run and a stolen base while playing in each of the last six games.

Drops from leadoff spot Butler will start in right field and bat sixth Tuesday against the Tigers.

Impact The right fielder has batted atop the lineup in each of the past 25 games he's played in, but he'll move down to the No. 6 spot versus Detroit's ace lefty Tarik Skubal. Butler was plenty productive during that 25-game stretch with eight doubles, four homers and a .297/.360/.495 slash line, so the move down the order is likely a temporary change due to the tough matchup.

Three hits in Friday's win Butler went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Guardians.

Impact Butler supplied an RBI single with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. The outfielder has gone 9-for-30 (.300) with three extra-base hits and three RBI over his last seven games. For the season, he's up to a .264/.325/.459 slash line with 11 home runs, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. As a leadoff hitter, Butler's RBI chances are likely to remain limited, but he continues to offer a decent combination of power and speed with steady playing time in right field.

Goes yard Thursday Butler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Impact Butler was given an off day Wednesday after going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series versus Houston. The day off appeared to serve him well, as the outfielder bounced back with a second-inning solo shot. He earned his second multi-hit effort over the last nine games, a cool stretch that followed his fantastic start to June. Butler is at a .257/.320/.455 slash line with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 44 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 72 contests. After finishing two steals short of a 20-20 campaign over 125 games in 2024, he's on pace to reach that milestone this year.

Stays hot in blowout win Butler went 2-for-4 with three runs scored, two walks and one steal in Thursday's 14-3 victory over the Twins.

Impact Butler didn't drive in a run, but he extended his hot streak in Thursday's lopsided win. The 24-year-old has been on a tear lately, slashing .383/.464/.700 with 12 extra-base hits in his past 15 games. Sporting a .805 OPS on the season, the right fielder has been a major bright spot atop the lineup for a struggling Athletics team.
