Plates another pair in win Pinder went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a run in a win over the Mariners on Monday.

Impact Pinder has compiled all four of his RBI for the season in the last two games, a sign he may be coming around after starting the campaign with a 1-for-9 tally over his first three contests. The versatile 28-year-old is capable of filling every position except pitcher and catcher, but he's made all five of his appearances as a starter at second base this season.

Hits clutch homer Pinder went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

Impact Trailing 2-0 with a runner on base and two out in the seventh inning, Pinder ran into one to tie the game. The A's would go on to win in 10 innings. Pinder started just once in the team's prior five games (all against opposing right-handed starters) and should be considered a short-side platoon player until further notice.

Out of Saturday's lineup Kemp is not in the lineup for Saturday's game at Seattle.

Impact Kemp is 0-for-7 with two runs, a stolen base and two walks through nine plate appearances, and he'll hit the bench with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for the Mariners. Chad Pinder will receive the start at second base for the A's.

Starts for second straight Kemp will bat ninth and play second base Monday against the Angels.

Impact Kemp entered the season as part of a presumed platoon with Franklin Barreto at second base, though it was Chad Pinder who started at the position against both a lefty and a righty in the first two games of the year. Kemp has now gotten the nod against two straight righties, so it's possible he's in for a significant role this season after all. It will likely take a few more games before the true playing-time split at the position becomes clear.

Misses cut Neuse did not make the Athletics' 30-man roster.

Impact Franklin Barreto, Tony Kemp and Chad Pinder all made the team, so there weren't going to be at-bats available at second base and Matt Chapman is a true everyday player at third base, so Neuse got squeezed out of the equation. Vimael Machin also made the roster ahead of Neuse as a utility player. Neuse will continue to work at Oakland's satellite camp until a need arises.

Starts second straight Pinder will remain in the lineup Saturday against the Angels, batting eighth and playing second base.

Impact Preseason reports suggested that Tony Kemp and Franklin Barreto would platoon at the keystone, but it's now been Pinder in the lineup for both of the season's first two games. It's likely significant that he started against a lefty (Andrew Heaney) on Opening Day and against a righty (Dylan Bundy) in this contest, indicating that he could be something close to a true starter at the position going forward rather than simply a part-time option.

Set to start at keystone Manager Bob Melvin said Pinder will start at second base Friday against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Pinder earned his spot in Oakland's Opening Day lineup with a hot spring, and if he carries that success over to the regular season, he could see steady at-bats at the keystone, especially against lefties. The announcement represents a notable development for the Franklin Barreto-Tony Kemp duo and its respective fantasy managers, considering the pair was expected to constitute a near everyday platoon at second. Pinder did begin taking more reps at second base earlier in summer camp, however, and Martin Gallegos of MLB.com notes the versatile utility man continued swinging the bat well in Tuesday's exhibition against the Giants with a two-run triple while drawing the start at second base.

Taking reps at keystone Pinder is getting a solid amount of practice time at second base during summer camp workouts, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pinder has deservedly earned a reputation as a true jack-of-all trades asset, playing every position except pitcher and catcher since his 2016 big-league debut. That includes 71 games at second base over four seasons, but Pinder notes he still needs work on handling quick-developing double-play situations effectively from the perspective of a second baseman. The 28-year-old has therefore been focusing on being on the right side of the base and turning those plays quickly from the keystone, in anticipation of the extra playing time at the position manager Bob Melvin has already indicated he'll likely see during the 60-game campaign. On the offensive end of things, Pinder has been showing well early in workouts, slugging a home run during Saturday night's intrasquad game and consistently getting good wood on the ball overall.
