Sitting against lefty Brown isn't in Oakland's lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Impact With lefty Kenny Rosenberg slated to start on the bump for Los Angeles, the lefty-hitting Brown will begin Thursday's contest on the bench. Tyler Nevin will instead get the nod to start at first base and bat fifth.

Stays hot in loss Brown went 3-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Impact The Athletics' red-hot offense finally cooled Wednesday, but Brown put together his second straight multi-hit effort. The veteran had recently been mired in a brief 0-for-11 slump that encompassed four games, but his 5-for-7 showing over the last two contests has pushed his average back over the Mendoza Line (.209)

Goes deep Tuesday Brown went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Astros.

Impact Brown was one of five Athletics to go yard Tuesday. His blast came in the fourth inning off Jake Bloss, and he later added a double in the seventh inning. In nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, Brown has totaled seven hits, three of those going for home runs and two being doubles. He's slashing .197/.261/.351 with eight homers, 20 RBI, 19 runs and a 17:74 BB:K in 226 plate appearances.

Clubs two dingers Brown went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs Sunday against the Phillies.

Impact Brown joined the Oakland home-run brigade, clubbing two of the eight long balls launched by the A's on Sunday. It was the third start for Brown since returning from a two-week stint in the minors. Brown was batting .189 and had collected just five homers prior to being sent down but caught fire following his demotion, batting .403 with seven homers and 24 RBI during the 16-games he spent down on the farm.

Lawrence Butler hits 3 of Athletics' 8 homers in 18-3 rout of Phillies

Lawrence Butler hit three home runs, Brent Rooker and Seth Brown each had two homers, and the Oakland Athletics routed the first-placed Philadelphia Phillies 18-3

Getting regular work at first base Brown will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Though he'll likely be excluded from the lineup when the Athletics face southpaws, the lefty-hitting Brown seems to have taken on a regular role as the team's primary first baseman following his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He's now started in three of the Athletics' ensuing four games following his promotion and has gone 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI. Brown's run of steady playing time will likely come to an end once Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) is ready to return from the injured list.

Singles in big-league return Brown, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, started in right field in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Red Sox and went 1-for-3.

Impact Brown had been swinging a blistering bat with the Aviators, so his ability to carry that over in even a modest fashion during his return to the Athletics is encouraging. The slugging outfielder endured a nightmarish 63-game stint with Oakland from Opening Day to June 16, generating a .189 average, .557 OPS and career-high 33.8 percent strikeout rate across 195 plate appearances.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Oakland The Athletics selected Brown's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, source reports.

Impact With Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) headed for the injured list, Brown will now rejoin the A's in order to add depth to the team's big-league outfield unit. Since being outrighted to Las Vegas in June, the 31-year-old has slashed an incredible .403/.416/.736 with seven homers and 24 RBI over 77 plate appearances. It's possible Oakland works him into their lineup over the next several days in order to take advantage of his hot bat.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Las Vegas The Athletics outrighted Brown to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Brown has started nearly every game for the A's this season, but he will be jettisoned off the 40-man roster and back to Triple-A after putting up just a .557 OPS through 195 plate appearances. The 31-year-old outfielder will remain within the organization, but his bat will presumably need to come alive in the minors for him to have any chance at returning to Oakland later this year. Lawrence Butler was recalled from Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Brown will often sit against left-handed pitchers, but he's on the bench Wednesday as righty Logan Gilbert takes the mound for Seattle. Daz Cameron will start in right field and bat seventh.

JUNE 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Thursday Brown is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rays.

Impact He had started each of the previous six contests but will give way to Daz Cameron in right field Thursday. Brown is slashing just .210/.252/.343 on the season, but he's been trending in the right direction with an .853 OPS and two home runs across his last 10 tilts.

Provides two-run blast Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Brown took Justin Lawrence deep in the seventh to knot the game up at four. He's now homered in two of his last three games and has a hit in three straight, but is still struggling to get going overall at the plate. He's slashing just .185/.236/.336 with five homers, 13 RBI, seven runs and an 8:42 BB:K in 127 plate appearances. Strikeouts have become a noticeable issue for the 31-year-old, as he's currently striking out at a 33.1 percent clip.

Playing time trending downward Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact The lefty-hitting Brown has now sat out four times in five games, with three of his absences from the lineup coming against right-handed pitchers. Brown appears to be moving into more of a part-time role while Brent Rooker and Tyler Nevin have taken on more playing time at the corner-outfield spots and while Abraham Toro has gained traction at designated hitter. Brown has produced a lowly .534 OPS on the season, including a .542 mark against right-handers.
