Gets third straight start Brown will start in right field and bat eighth Wednesday against Cleveland.
Impact In the lineup for the third time in as many games, Brown looks like he'll be a fixture in the Oakland outfield against right-handed pitching after Ramon Laureano was handed an 80-game suspension last weekend. Stephen Piscotty will likely fill the short side of a platoon in right field with Brown.

Called up Friday Brown was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Friday's game against the Rangers, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Brown found himself without a spot on the 26-man roster following last week's acquisitions of Starling Marte and Josh Harrison, but the outfielder will now head back to Oakland to take the roster spot of Ramon Laureano (suspension). Brown holds an underwhelming .199/.277/.435 slash line on the season, but he did hit a much better .240/.340/.561 in July prior to his demotion. The 29-year-old will likely serve as a reserve outfielder, possibly getting occasional starts against right-handers going forward.

Heads to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Brown to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
Impact Brown's playing time in the corner outfield had already been trending down after Oakland's recent acquisition of Starling Marte from Miami, and now Brown will lose out on a spot on the 26-man active roster. Though he posted an excellent .901 OPS across sporadic playing time in July, Brown's body of work for the season has been much less impressive (.199/.277/.435 slash line, 27.2 percent strikeout rate in 213 plate appearances).

Out against lefty Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact The lefty-hitting Brown will take a seat in favor of Stephen Piscotty with southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for San Diego, but both outfielders look set to see their playing time fall by the wayside against lefties and righties alike. Oakland acquired Starling Marte from Miami on Wednesday, and he's expected to occupy an everyday spot in the outfield alongside established regulars Mark Canha and Ramon Laureano.

Out against lefty Brown is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact After sitting against the right-handed Shohei Ohtani in Monday's series opener, the lefty-hitting Brown will remain on the bench with a southpaw (Jose Suarez) on the bump for the Angels. Brown should generally see regular starts versus righties, given that his 93 wRC+ in those matchups is still far better than that of Stephen Piscotty (47 wRC+), his primary competition for reps in right field.

Impact Brown slammed a solo home run in the fifth inning off Zach Plesac to tie the game. He has struggled to get over the Mendoza Line, slashing .199/.274/.431 in 201 plate appearances. He doesn't reach base consistently on a daily basis, but he has 20 home run potential with a couple rare steals.
