Laces pinch-hit double Bolt entered Friday's loss to the Astros as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and remained in the game as a defensive replacement, hitting a two-run double in his first plate ap...
Impact Bolt came through to slice a four-run Athletics deficit in half with his seventh-inning two-bagger, which brought home Jonah Bride and Vimael Machin. The timely double was particularly noteworthy for Bolt, considering it served as only his second extra-base hit in the last 12 games.

On bench after Stevenson's call-up Bolt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Impact Bolt went 0-for-6 while starting in each of the last three contests, but he salvaged some value by chipping in two stolen bases. The 28-year-old looks like he could be a candidate to move into a short-side platoon role moving forward, as the Athletics called up lefty-hitting outfielder Cal Stevenson from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. Stevenson will start in center field with the Angels bringing righty Touki Toussaint to the hill, leaving no room in the starting nine for Bolt.

Remains productive Sunday Bolt went 1-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Bolt enjoyed a solid afternoon out of the bottom of the order, one day after slugging his fourth homer after entering the game as a pinch hitter. The 28-year-old's production has been a bit of a mixed bag recently, as he owns both a 28.1 percent strikeout rate and serviceable .733 OPS over his last 11 games.

Slugs two-run shot Saturday Bolt entered Saturday's loss to the Giants as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and hit a two-run home run in his second of two plate appearances.
Impact Bolt's ninth-inning homer didn't have an impact on the game result, but it extended a decent stretch of hitting for the 28-year-old. Bolt now owns a .250 average and .464 slugging percentage over his last 10 games, a sample during which he's belted both of his round trippers on the season and driven in five runs overall while adding a stolen base and scoring on three occasions.

Impact Bolt was hit in the hand by a pitch in the final game before the All-Star break, ultimately exiting the contest against the Astros early.

Exits after hit-by-pitch Bolt was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros in the top of the fourth inning with an apparent hand injury, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact In his lone plate appearance of the day in the top of the second, Bolt was hit in the hand by a pitch, but he was able to take his base and played the field for the subsequent two innings. However, when Bolt's second turn at the dish came up in the fourth, the Athletics summoned Dermis Garcia from the bench to pinch hit for him. Expect Oakland to provide an update on the extent of Bolt's hand injury after the contest, though his ability to initially stay in the game and play the field likely hints that he avoided any sort of structural damage.

Records second steal Bolt went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Astros.
Impact Bolt was one of two Athletics hitters to reach base multiple times Sunday, with a single and his first walks of the year. The outfielder added his second steal, but a .125/.160/.125 slash line through nine contests doesn't inspire much confidence. The 28-year-old still appears to be the Athletics' favorite for playing time in center field, though he'll likely remain near the bottom of the order unless his bat heats up.
