INJURIES

Day-to-day with contusion Olson is considered day-to-day with a left thumb contusion, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Olson was plunked on his left hand in the seventh inning of Monday's game and was lifted in the eighth. Fortunately, it sounds like he avoided a serious injury, with Rubin reporting that there is nothing broken. Mitch Moreland is dealing with a hamstring injury, so Seth Brown could get more run if Olson is forced to miss additional time.

Multi-hit effort in loss Olson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.
Impact Olson raked most of Cactus League play, and after an 0-for-3 tally on Opening Day, he stepped up with one of the Athletics' two multi-hit efforts Friday. The slugger is looking to return to form after a forgettable 2020 that saw him post a .195 average across 245 plate appearances.

Decimating spring arms Olson is hitting .406 (13-for-32) with four doubles, five home runs, 14 RBI, a walk and eight runs over 12 Cactus League games.
Impact The slugging first baseman pushed his average over the .400 mark with a 3-for-4 day at the expense of the Angels on Saturday that featured a two-run blast which Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports took out a palm tree considerably beyond the scoreboard in right-center field. The heavy offseason work he put in with hitting coach Darren Bush after mustering just a .195 average in 2020 seems to be paying dividends, with Olson remarking "I've gotten to a couple of pitches early that I wasn't handling well last year" after Saturday's game.

Continues wielding scorching bat Olson, who went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run in Sunday's Cactus League win over the Indians, is now hitting .500 with three homers and eight RBI overall ac...
Impact Olson also has a two-bagger on his spring resume and has encouragingly struck out only twice, as the extensive work he put in on his hitting during the offseason is clearly paying early dividends. There's no concerns about the 26-year-old's prodigious power stroke, but a reduction in last season's career-worst 31.4 percent strikeout rate will be key to Olson's chances of significantly boosting last year's abysmal .195 average.
