CHAD PINDER NEWS

Gets fourth straight start Pinder will start in left field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Pinder appeared to be moving into a part-time role after he started in only one of the Athletics' five games to close out last week, but he'll be in the lineup for the fourth consecutive contest Wednesday. At least for the time being, Pinder appears to be picking up playing time in the outfield at the expense of Luis Barrera, who is sitting Wednesday for the second time in three contests.

Tending to knuckle injury Pinder is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers due to a small laceration on one of his knuckles, Dawn Klemish of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pinder and Elvis Andrus collided with one another in the field at one point during Athletics' 6-0 loss in Game 1, but both players were able to remain in the contest. Manager Mark Kotsay said following Game 1 that Pinder -- who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the contest -- was allowed to stay in the game after clearing the concussion protocol, according to Kawahara.
