Impact The lefty-hitting Brown will hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Matthew Liberatore takes the hill for St. Louis. Brown had started each of Oakland's last five games, going 5-for-20 with a home run and six RBI.

Gets Wednesday off Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Drives in four Sunday Brown went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and a two-run home run in a loss to the Nationals on Sunday.
Impact Brown was in clutch-hitting mode during the narrow loss, capping off the Athletics' three-run first with a 408-foot shot to center with Brent Rooker aboard. The slugger then struck again with some small ball in the seventh, lacing a single to center that plated Tyler Soderstrom and JJ Bleday to extend the Athletics' lead to 7-1 at the time. Brown's multi-hit effort was his third in the last 10 games, a stretch during which he's carrying a .313/.353/.563 slash line and 17.6 percent strikeout rate across 34 plate appearances.

Racks up extra-base hits Sunday Brown went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI triple and a run in a win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Brown's first-inning triple brought Zach Gelof to erase an early 1-0 deficit, and the slugger followed with his 20th and 21st extra-base hits of the season in the form of his pair of two-baggers. Brown's bat began to heat up just before the calendar flipped to August and has remained productive in the new month, as he's now boasting a .450 average and 1.178 OPS across the 23 plate appearances he's logged in his last seven games.

On base thrice in loss Brown went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Impact Brown authored the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics and his second in the last four games overall. While the slugger's .211/.291/.402 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement, Brown has actually been on an upswing at the plate of late -- he's carrying a .321 average and .930 OPS over his last 10 games, figures partly constituted by four extra-base hits and robust 11.8 percent walk rate.

Goes to bench Sunday Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Impact The lefty-hitting Brown will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Rockies bring another southpaw in Ty Blach to the hill. During his lone start at Coors Field in Saturday's 11-3 win, Brown went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run. He looks poised to fill the strong side of a platoon at first base until Ryan Noda (jaw) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Perfect at plate Saturday Brown went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact Brown opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, then added an RBI single in the seventh for the Athletics' last run. He's gone a strong 7-for-21 (.333) with four extra-base hits over his last seven contests. The 31-year-old is up to a .208/.288/.406 slash line with 10 home runs, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases over 60 games. He continues to see steady playing time at first base with Ryan Noda (jaw) out.

Reaches 10-homer mark Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Astros.
Impact Brown is batting just .190 (8-for-42) in July, but he's hit four homers and added nine RBI over 14 contests this month. He supplied some insurance with an eighth-inning blast Saturday. The 31-year-old is up to 10 homers, 28 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases while slashing just .198/.277/.396 over 56 contests this season.

Multi-hit effort in loss Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Astros on Thursday.
Impact Brown produced both the only multi-hit effort and only run of the day for the Athletics, the latter coming on a first-inning double that plated Tony Kemp. The slugger had been mired in a 1-for-17 slump over the previous five games coming into Thursday, and the two-bagger marked only his third extra-base hit in the last 11 contests.

Day off against lefty Brown is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.
Impact Brown will get a breather as Oakland takes on left-hander Joe Jacques. Brent Rooker will slide over to right field while Tony Kemp enters the lineup in left field and bats leadoff versus Boston.

Pops ninth homer Saturday Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.
Impact Brown's 395-foot shot to right in the fourth inning plated JJ Bleday and marked the slugger's fifth time leaving the yard in the last 13 games. The 31-year-old's .891 OPS in the last 10 games is an encouraging figure and is aided by the fact Brown is striking out a more palatable 22.9 percent clip during the sample.
JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Productive at plate Friday Brown went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.
Impact Brown's 387-foot shot in the seventh inning with Shea Langeliers accounted for the Athletics' final two runs of the night. The slugger's average continues to hover around the Mendoza Line, but he's demonstrated an undeniable uptick in production of late with a .276 average, 1.033 OPS and an encouragingly modest 18.8 percent strikeout rate over the last 10 games.

On bench against southpaw Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Connects for seventh homer Brown went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the White Sox on Saturday.
Impact Brown's 383-foot shot to right field in the seventh -- his third long ball in the last six games -- snapped a 3-3 tie. The 30-year-old may finally be starting to rediscover the power stroke that led to 45 homers over the last two seasons, and he's also hitting a crisp .316 (6-for-19) with a refreshingly modest 15.0 percent strikeout rate (32.7 percent season figure) during his aforementioned six-game power surge.
JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rare three-hit effort Brown went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.
Impact The struggling slugger put together a much-needed multi-hit effort while playing some small ball, and his third-inning knock brought home Ryan Noda to give the Athletics a short-lived lead. Brown's second three-hit effort of the campaign also vaulted his average back over the Mendoza Line to .203, his first time hitting at least .200 since June 17. The 30-year-old has a brief but encouraging hot streak going at the plate, as he's now gone 5-for-13 with two home runs and three RBI over his last four games.
JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Homers in low-scoring win Brown went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact Brown put the Athletics up 2-0 in the fourth inning with his solo shot, and it stood as the difference. He's homered in his last two games, but the outfielder has gone just 9-for-51 (.176) over his last 15 contests. For the season, he's at a paltry .191/.259/.366 slash line with six homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases over 39 games.

Launches fifth homer Brown went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact He got hold of a Jose Berrios breaking pitch in the second inning and drove it over the wall in center field, giving Brown his second homer in June and fifth of the year. It's been a tough month overall for the 30-year-old -- through his last 20 games, he's slashing just .191/.257/.324 with six runs and 10 RBI.

On bench vs. lefty Brown is not in Thursday's lineup against the Guardians.
Impact Brown will retreat to the bench with lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland. Tony Kemp will man left field while batting ninth. Brown is slashing .187/.260/.319 with three home runs and a 38 percent strikeout rate in 28 games since coming off the injured list May 22.

Not in starting nine Brown will sit Saturday against the Phillies.
Impact Brown will hit the bench against lefty Christopher Sanchez, though he started against two of the prior three southpaws the Athletics faced, so he's not necessarily stuck in a platoon. He'll likely have to improve on his .206/.280/.364 line if he's to be a true everyday player, however. Brent Rooker and Ramon Laureano will handle the outfield corners Saturday.
JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Launches fourth home run Brown went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-6 win over Milwaukee.
Impact Brown was part of a four-run fourth inning for the Athletics, plating Ryan Noda and Ramon Laureano on a three-run blast that was followed up by another home run by Brent Rooker. Brown has been on a bit of a heater over his last six games, going 7-for-22 (.318) with four extra base hits, six RBI and four runs scored.
JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Three hits, double in win Brown went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh.
Impact Brown looks to be heating up at the plate while slowly working his way back into an everyday role. He's now doubled in three straight games following an 0-for-16 slump. Overall, the 30-year-old Brown is slashing .200/.281/.375 with three homers, 10 RBI and two stolen bases through 89 plate appearances this season,

Exits lineup Sunday Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Impact The Athletics have been running a five-man committee of late between the three outfield spots and designated hitter, with all of Brown, Ramon Laureano, JJ Bleday, Esteury Ruiz and Brent Rooker having handled at least semi-regular roles. Ruiz's playing time appears to be the most secure of the group, and though Brown finds himself as the odd man out versus a right-hander (Sandy Alcantara) on Sunday, Rooker seems to be losing the most playing time of late. Since returning from the injured list May 22, Brown is slashing just .132/.214/.289, but his .504 OPS over the past two weeks is still better than Rooker's mark (.447) over that same stretch.
