Maxwell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Maxwell has gone 14-for-40 with six RBI and six runs through 11 games since his latest recall to the majors. He's sporting a .305/.379/.407 slash line for the year and projects to receive consistent playing time going forward. He's currently providing serviceable fantasy numbers in deep settings, and particularly in two-catcher formats.

Maxwell went 1-for-2 with a two-run double, two walks and a run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old backstop has been wielding a hot bat since being called up from Triple-A Nashville, with Wednesday's effort bringing his line to .333/.400/.417 over the 40 plate appearances he's logged since returning on June 22. Maxwell is validating the club's decision to part ways with trusted veteran Stephen Vogt, whose bat has found new life in the National League since the move, but who was scuffling at the plate with Oakland.

Maxwell went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs in Thursday's 12-9 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Maxwell commemorated his return to the big-league club with his first three-hit day of the season, raising his line with Oakland to .304/.385/.348 over 26 plate appearances. The 26-year-old backstop makes for an intriguing fantasy prospect to monitor in the immediate future, as he projects to see a solid amount of playing time behind the dish now that Stephen Vogt has been jettisoned.

The Athletics recalled Maxwell on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rebuilding A's designated Stephen Vogt for assignment, signalling a move to feature their younger players. Maxwell was on the minor-league disabled list recently with an oblique injury but returns to occupy at least a backup role. AL-only players -- especially those in two-catcher setups -- should give the 26-year-old a look. He sports a .270/.333/.369 in his small major-league sample of 123 plate appearances.

Maxwell is on the 7-day DL at Triple-A Nashville with an oblique injury, Melissa Lockard of OaklandClubhouse.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He tweaked an oblique on May 18 after going back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues this season. With Stephen Vogt's massive struggles, it would seem that Maxwell could supplant him at some point once he gets healthy. He is hitting .308/.366/.492 with one home run in 71 plate appearances at Triple-A but struggled in 22 plate appearances with the big-league club.

Maxwell was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sean Manaea (shoulder) is set to come off the disabled list Monday, so the A's decided to make room for him by sending Maxwell back to Triple-A Nashville. During his latest stint in the majors, Maxwell played in six games and went 2-for-14 (.143).
