Launches first homer of 2025 Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 14-1 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Brown provided the only tally on the scoreboard for the A's, launching a solo home run off Logan Henderson in the top of the fifth inning. The long ball was his first of the year and the 32-year-old is now batting .167 with a home run and four walks while striking out eight times over 24 at-bats in 13 games this season.

Starting in left field Friday Brown is starting in left field and batting sixth in Friday's contest versus the Mariners.

Impact After Miguel Andujar drew the start in left field for Thursday's opener, the Athletics are turning to Brown for the second game of the series. Brown is expected to operate predominately in a reserve role this season.

Looks set for reserve role Brown looks set to get playing time in both the outfield and first base in a backup role, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brown is hitting just .200 (5-for-25) this spring, but looks set to make the roster as the fourth outfielder. Brown struggled to start last season, but hit .271/.3128/.448 with nine home runs in 61 games after a stint in the minors. He should work his way into the lineup sporadically against right-handed pitching if he can build on last season's second half.

Seth Brown reaches $2.7 million contract agreement with A's, avoiding arbitration

Seth Brown and the Athletics reached agreement on a $2.7 million contract for the 2025 season, with the outfielder and first baseman avoiding salary arbitration

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • Associated Press

Avoids arbitration The Athletics and Brown avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Wednesday.

Impact There's no word on the financial terms of the deal, but Brown was due a modest raise after earning a $2.6 million salary in 2024. The 32-year-old slashed .231/.283/.379 with 14 home runs in 124 games this past season. Brown is likely to play a good amount versus righties again for the Athletics in 2025.

Productive showing in finale Brown went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Brown posted the only multi-hit effort of the afternoon for the Athletics in the season finale, his first performance with a pair of knocks since Sept. 6. The productive afternoon prevented him from heading into the offseason mired in a slump, as he'd gone just 2-for-24 over the prior seven games. The 2024 campaign was essentially a tale of two seasons for Brown -- he earned himself a mid-June demotion to Triple-A Las Vegas by posting a .189 average, .557 OPS and 33.8 percent strikeout rate over the first 63 games, but he posted a .271 average and .760 OPS across 61 games upon returning shortly before the All-Star break, striking out just 22.4 percent of the time in the process.

Idle versus southpaw Brown isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against New York.

Impact Brown will take a seat Saturday as the Yankees send fellow left-hander Carlos Rodon to the mound. The former's absence will allow Daz Cameron to pick up a start in left field while batting sixth.

Out again versus lefty Brown is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The Cubs are starting a third straight lefty in the series in Justin Steele, and the left-handed-hitting Brown has been out of the lineup for all three contests, although he did receive a couple plate appearances off the bench Tuesday. Tyler Nevin is in left field for Wednesday's series finale.

Comes up clutch twice in win Brown went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.

Impact Brown didn't start Friday, but he was one of four Athletics with multiple hits in the marathon game. The 32-year-old saved the day in the 11th inning with a game-tying homer, then clutched up again with the walk-off hit, a single, to plate JJ Bleday in the 13th. Brown has seven multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, going 16-for-35 (.457) with four homers and 14 RBI in that span. The surge has him up to a .251/.310/.421 slash line with 14 homers, 44 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases through 106 contests overall.

Out of lineup Friday Brown is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

Impact He's been swinging a hot bat over the past couple weeks -- he's slashing .391/.442/.630 with three homers and 12 RBI in his last 13 games -- but Brown remains a strict platoon player for manager Mark Kotsay. In fact, Brown has made just a single start against a lefty this season. Tarik Skubal starts for Detroit in the series opener.

Homers as part of three-hit day Brown went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Impact Brown got the A's back level with a solo home run in the fourth and then supplied a walk-off single in the ninth off Trent Thornton. Over his last six starts, Brown has multiple hits five times while racking up 10 RBI over that span. Since being brought back up to the majors July 11, he's slashing .320/.381/.557 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 15 runs and a 10:27 BB:K in 136 plate appearances.

Rips go-ahead triple in loss Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact Brown provided one of four multi-hit efforts on the afternoon for the Athletics, and his first triple of 2024 drove home Shea Langeliers in the 10th inning to snap a 2-2 tie. Brown now has multi-hit tallies in four consecutive starts, with Sunday's three-bagger his third extra-base hit in that stretch. His hot bat dates further back, however, as factoring in Sunday's production, the veteran outfielder boasts a .375 average across his last nine games.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three more RBI in loss Brown went 2-for-5 with three RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.

Impact Brown bookended the Athletics' offensive output in the wild loss, opening the scoring with a first-inning knock that plated Brent Rooker and closing it out by driving in Rooker and JJ Bleday in the ninth to get Oakland to the precipice of a successful rally. The Reds will be glad to be rid of Brown, who pummeled their pitching staff for four hits, including two home runs, and seven total RBI over the final two games of the series. It's been a resurgent month for Brown overall, as Thursday's production pushed his August slash line to a stellar .305/.379/.475 across 66 plate appearances.
