Scores game-winning run Sunday Pache went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact The defensive-minded outfielder enjoyed some rare success out of the bottom of the order, posting one of five multi-hit efforts for the Athletics on the day and scoring the winning run on Jed Lowrie's ninth-inning single. Pache has managed to retain what is essentially an everyday role despite Ramon Laureano's return from suspension, and although he's carrying an unsightly .172/.211/.248 slash line, he's hitting .280 (7-for-25) with two doubles and three RBI over his last seven games.

Timely two-bagger in loss Pache went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in a loss to the Mariners on Monday.

Impact Pache put the last two runs of the night on the board for the Athletics with his sixth-inning bases-loaded double. The defensive wizard has found success at the plate hard to come by as evidenced by his abysmal .159/.197/.238 slash line, but he's now hitting a solid .280 across 25 plate appearances with men in scoring position.

Riding pine Friday Pache isn't starting Friday against the Angels.

Impact Pache ha? gone just 1-for-17 with three walks and five strikeouts over the last eight matchups, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Ramon Laureano will shift to center field while Luis Barrera starts in right.

Receives breather Wednesday Pache is on the bench for Wednesday's series finale against the Twins, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The 23-year-old will get the day off Wednesday after starting three straight games, going 1-for-9 with a walk in those contests. Ramon Laureano will slide over to center while Luis Berrera enters the lineup in right field and will bat seventh.

Sitting for nightcap Pache will sit for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Impact Pache went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks in the afternoon game. Ramon Laureano slides to center field for the nightcap, with Luis Barrera starting in right.

Heads to bench Pache is not in the lineup Monday against the Tigers, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Pache has earned plenty of chances up to this point, starting 25 of Oakland's first 28 games, but how much of a role he'll hold onto now that Ramon Laureano is back from his PED suspension is unclear. Pache certainly hasn't made a strong case for everyday at-bats, hitting just .169/.187/.270, though his 48.5 percent hard-hit rate sits in the 84th percentile and suggests potential for a fair amount of improvement considering that his 25.3 percent strikeout rate isn't too far from average. He'll sit Monday, with Laureano sliding to center field and Luis Barrera starting in right.

Sits Sunday Pache is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Seth Brown will step in as the Athletics' center fielder while Pache sits for the first time in four games. The 23-year-old rookie is slashing .203/.225/.333 with two home runs, no stolen bases, nine runs and six RBI in his first 71 plate appearances with Oakland.

Laces first big-league triple Pache went 1-for-4 with a triple in a win over the Giants on Wednesday.

Impact Pache's seventh-inning three-bagger was the first of his career and extended his on-base streak to six games. The young outfielder has shown some signs of life at the plate in what is currently his second-longest big-league stint, knocking a pair of home runs in addition to Wednesday's triple and an April 10 double.

Resting Sunday Pache is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Pache will sit for only the second time this season while the Athletics give Mickey McDonald a look in center field. Though the 23-year-old Pache has brought quality defense to the Oakland outfield, he's not making much of a fantasy splash with a .208 average, two home runs, no steals, seven runs and six RBI over 54 plate appearances on the campaign.

Launches second homer Pache went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Orioles on Thursday.

Impact Pache opened the scoring on the night with a 381-foot solo blast in the third to left field, his second round tripper of the season. The 23-year-old continues to handle an everyday role in center field while Ramon Laureano finishes off his suspension, and although his .208/.208/.354 slash line leaves plenty to be desired, his current 22.9 percent strikeout rate is a welcome improvement from the 36.8 percent figure he generated over 68 plate appearances with Atlanta in 2021.

Launches game-winning homer Pache went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact With the score tied 5-5 in the top of the ninth inning, Pache drove a hanging slider from Julian Merryweather over the wall in right-center field for the deciding runs. The homer was the first of the season for Pache and just the second of the young outfielder's MLB career, but he's off to a solid start to his Oakland tenure, batting .267 (8-for-30) with five runs and four RBI through nine games.

Receives rest day Pache is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact After starting each of the first four games of the season, Pache will cede his spot in center field to Seth Brown on Tuesday. Pache brings most of his value to the Athletics through his stellar defense in center field, but he's at least been serviceable at the dish to begin the season. He's gone 4-for-15 with a double and three runs scored thus far.

Multi-hit effort in win Pache went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Phillies on Sunday.

Impact The first multi-hit effort of Pache's career came at a timely juncture, as it played a part in helping the Athletics avoid a season-opening three-game sweep at the hands of the Phillies. The 23-year-old, who's filling the everyday center field role until Ramon Laureano completes his suspension, has hit safely in two of his first three games.

Singles in opener Pache started in center field and went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Phillies on Friday.

Impact Pache's defense is already elite, but questions linger about his bat at this nascent stage of his big-league career. Therefore, it was encouraging to at least see him reach safely in his first game of what is expected to be at least a month-long starting stint while Ramon Laureano completes his suspension. The 23-year-old's longest majors stint to date came last season in Atlanta, when he produced a forgettable .111/.152/.206 slash line across 68 plate appearances.

Secures roster spot Pache has officially made the Athletics' Opening Day roster, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pache's exact role hasn't been announced, but the door appears to be open for him to be the primary center fielder for the rebuilding squad. Pache struggled significantly at the plate in 22 games for Atlanta last season, hitting .111/.152/.206, and he was merely a league-average bat at the Triple-A level, hitting .265/.330/.414 with a 27.5 percent strikeout rate.
