Doubles, walks in loss Piscotty went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.
Impact The veteran outfielder continues to inch his season slash line upward, although it still sits at an anemic .204/.283/.361. Piscotty has shown some nice pop by lacing nine of his 22 hits on the season for extra bases, but a career-low .240 BABIP despite a career-high 24.1 percent line-drive rate speaks to the fact he's been plagued by a certain degree of misfortune when putting the ball in play.

Riding pine Tuesday Piscotty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Ramon Laureano's absence for Sunday's series finale with the Rays allowed manager Bob Melvin to fit both Piscotty and Seth Brown in the outfield, but Piscotty will end up taking a seat Tuesday with Laureano checking back into the lineup. Piscotty will be sitting against a right-handed pitcher (Nathan Eovaldi) for the second time in three games, which could be an indication that Brown is Melvin's preferred option in right field for the time being.
