Blasts first homer Peterson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Monday.
Impact Peterson's 401-foot shot to right center in the second inning extended Oakland's lead to 6-2 at the time and served as his first time leaving the yard in an A's uniform. Monday was only Peterson's second start over the first four games of the season, but he should continue to see plenty of opportunity against right-handed pitching.

Sits again Sunday Peterson is not in the lineup again for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Impact Peterson sits for the second consecutive game with Aledmys Diaz hitting second and playing third while Nick Allen gets the start at shortstop and hits ninth. It appears the A's will have Peterson sit against southpaws in the early portion of the season, which limits an early meager fantasy outlook for the 2023 campaign.

Not in lineup Peterson will sit Saturday against the Angels.
Impact Peterson started at third base in the season opener and hit seventh. He went hitless in three at-bats. He'll sit Saturday against southpaw Patrick Sandoval, with Aledmys Diaz sliding to third base and Nick Allen taking Diaz's spot at shortstop.

Renfroe makes no-look catch in right, delighting Ohtani
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe made an amazing, no-look catch for the highlight reels on opening dayMARCH 31, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Plays in two games since HBP Peterson played at third base in both Friday's and Sunday's Cactus League games against the White Sox and Giants, respectively, after being hit by a pitch Wednesday.
Impact Peterson went a combined 2-for-5 in that pair of exhibitions, and although he didn't play a full nine innings in either, it's clear he's unaffected from having been plunked. The veteran appears set to open the season as the everyday third baseman.

Checks out fine after HBP Peterson checked out fine after taking a pitch off his right hand Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Peterson was removed from the A's spring game against the Cubs a half-inning after the HBP occurred, but he only sustained a minor bruise. The 32-year-old is set to open the 2023 campaign with a large share of starting third base duties in Oakland.

Removed Wednesday after HBP Peterson was removed from Wednesday's Cactus League against the Cubs an inning after he was hit by a pitch, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Peterson stayed in to run the bases, but was unable to continue on the defensive end. The Athletics should provide an update on the 32-year-old before the end of Wednesday's contest.

Holding own at plate in spring Peterson is hitting .240 (6-for-25) with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI, seven walks, a stolen base and four runs across 12 Cactus League games.
Impact The veteran offseason signing has produced noteworthy results in his bid to lock down the starting third base job on the Opening Day roster. Peterson owns a career .231 average and .664 OPS across 741 big-league games, so his real-world and fantasy ceilings are irrefutably capped; nevertheless, he's proven a serviceable contributor over the years in large part due to his speed, which has helped him leg out 90 doubles, 14 triples and 60 steals since 2015. The lefty-swinging Peterson should open the season seeing the majority of work against right-handed pitching, but it's worth noting he also boasts a .268 average and .340 on-base percentage in 94 plate appearances versus southpaws over the last three seasons.

Contract with Oakland official Peterson's two-year, $9.5 million contract with the Athletics was formally announced Tuesday.
Impact Peterson has put up a .706 OPS with 14 home runs and 22 stolen bases over the last two seasons in a utility role with the Brewers. He should play pretty regularly against righties and offers some deep-league consideration mostly because of his speed.
DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lands in Oakland Peterson signed a two-year contract with the Athletics on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Peterson recorded a 76 wRC+ through the end of his age-29 season, but he's posted a 98 wRC+ since turning 30 prior to the 2020 campaign. That doesn't make him much more than a part-time player, though the Athletics have enough holes on their roster that Peterson could feature regularly. Between his mediocre bat, tough home park and weak surrounding lineup, even a regular role would leave Peterson without much fantasy appeal outside of deep leagues.
