First multi-hit effort of season Brown went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the Tigers on Sunday.

Impact Brown put the final run of the afternoon on the board for the Athletics with his ninth-inning single, which plated Zack Gelof. The lefty swinging slugger nearly matched his season-long hit total coming in with his first multi-hit effort of the campaign, as Brown had been mired in a 3-for-27 slump to start 2024 prior to Sunday's success. The 31-year-old, who laced 122 extra-base hits over the last three seasons, has yet to produce anything more impactful than a single over his first 10 games.

Won't play Friday Brown is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Brown started in left field Opening Day and finished 0-for-3 with one strikeout. With left-hander Logan Allen taking the mound for the Guardians on Friday, Esteury Ruiz will start in right field for the Athletics and bat in the lead-off spot.

Impact The Athletics are playing it safe with the slugging outfielder at this stage of spring. Gallegos notes Brown's injury isn't considered serious, but it is particularly ill-timed considering he's hitting .400 over his first six Cactus League games.

Out again with oblique injury Brown (oblique) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Angels.

Impact Brown sustained a left oblique injury in Thursday's game, and he was unable to return for the season finale. JJ Bleday enters the lineup, batting fifth.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Brown (oblique) isn't in the Athletics' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Impact Brown had to leave Thursday's game due to oblique soreness, and the injury will now keep him from playing in a second consecutive game. Brent Rooker start in right field while Brown recovers, allowing Carlos Perez to serve as Oakland's DH and bat seventh.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with sore oblique Brown (oblique) is out of the lineup Friday versus the Angels.

Impact It's unclear what Brown's availability might be over the final weekend of the regular season after he departed Thursday's series finale against the Twins due to left oblique soreness. JJ Bleday, Lawrence Butler and Esteury Ruiz will start across the outfield for the Athletics on Friday as Brent Rooker fills the DH role.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Brown was removed from the Athletics' game against Minnesota on Thursday due to left oblique soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics haven't yet indicated how severe Brown's injury is, but with just three games left in the season, the 31-year-old will need to make a quick recovery in order to play again this season. Brown had gone 4-for-15 with a homer and three RBI across his last five games entering Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps homer drought Brown went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-3 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Brown had been homerless across his last 20 games -- his longest drought of 2023 -- but he snapped the streak in the seventh inning against Chris Paddack. Over his last 11 games, Brown is 6-for-33 (.182) with only two extra-base hits.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus southpaw Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez is taking the mound for Detroit, so it's not a surprise Brown will open Sunday's contest on the bench. Brent Rookier will man right field while Shea Langeliers rests his legs as Oakland's designated hitter.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records third steal of season Brown went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Impact The swipe was only his third of the season, while the single marked the fourth time in the last five games Brown reached safely. The veteran has enjoyed a productive September overall -- he's carrying a .286 average and .801 OPS across 62 plate appearances this month -- but he uncharacteristically has only one extra-base hit, a double, over his last 10 games.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Brown is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Tigers.

Impact Brent Rooker will play right field and bat third as the Athletics take on left-hander Tarik Skubal. Carlos Perez will fill the DH role and hit sixth. Brown is slashing just .146/.242/.200 with zero home runs in 62 plate appearances this year against southpaws.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drastically improves contact rate Brown sports a .324 average and 1.024 OPS across the 40 plate appearances covering his last 13 games, a stretch during which he's sporting a modest 15.0 percent strikeout rate.

Impact It's certainly not the most sizable sample, but Brown's late-season offensive improvement comes at a good time for fantasy managers and is encouraging under any standard. The 31-year-old's current hot stretch was extended with a 2-for-4, two-RBI night Tuesday against the Astros, one in which Brown laced his seventh and eighth extra-base hits (two doubles) in the 13-game span. However, Brown's significantly improved contact rate is just as eye-catching, as he'd generated a 28.5 percent figure across his first 85 games of the season.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Benched versus lefty Brown isn't in the Athletics' lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Brown will take a seat Friday with southpaw Jordan Montgomery set to start on the mound for Texas. Brent Rooker will take over in right field, allowing Jordan Diaz to serve as the DH while Kevin Smith mans third base.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot Tuesday Brown went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Impact Brown crossed the plate with the Athletics' only run of the night while posting his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 18. The 31-year-old has hit safely in five of his last seven games, a stretch during which he's laced five extra-base hits (three doubles, two home runs) and kept his strikeout rate at a minuscule 8.3 percent.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes through as pinch hitter Brown entered Sunday's win over the Angels as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the game in left field, going 1-for-1 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additi...

Impact Brown started the game in the dugout with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for Los Angeles, but he became an integral part of the Athletics' sixth-inning comeback from a 3-0 deficit with his two-run homer. The slugger would eventually cross the plate again in the seventh inning with Oakland's penultimate run of the game courtesy of a Shea Langeliers double. Following a recent 14-game homerless drought, Brown has now left the yard twice in the last four games. With 13 round trippers on the season, he has an outside chance of hitting the 20-homer mark for the third straight season if his power stroke remains hot over the final month of the regular season.

Takes seat Sunday Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact The lefty-hitting Brown will retreat to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Tyler Anderson takes the hill for Anaheim. With Brown and fellow left-handed hitters Tony Kemp and Lawrence Butler also riding pine Sunday, the Athletics will roll out a starting outfield of Aledmys Diaz, Esteury Ruiz and Brent Rooker from left to right.

Pops 12th homer Brown went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Brown opened the scoring in the first inning and the Athletics never looked back. He hasn't been hitting all that well lately, going just 7-for-42 (.167) over his previous 14 contests, with just two of those hits going for extra bases. The 31-year-old is up to 12 homers, 43 RBI, 26 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .212/.278/.398 slash line over 303 plate appearances for the season. He continues to hold down a strong-side platoon role.
