Maxwell (head) has passed all necessary impact tests to be cleared for game action, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maxwell exited Wednesday's contest prematurely following a foul ball off his mask, but he seems to be experiencing no ill effects from that incident. Although he's not in the starting lineup, he seems to be completely available for Friday's contest and could come off the bench in a pinch hit situation.

Maxwell (head) passed a series of tests and isn't showing concussion symptoms, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maxwell left Wednesday's game after a foul ball hit him in the mask. The team later came out to say that the exit was precautionary, and seeing Maxwell pass concussion tests is reassuring as well. The team didn't elaborate on Maxwell's availability moving forward, but it seems possible that he could play in this weekend's series against the Rangers.

Maxwell left Wednesday's game as a precautionary measure, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It had been previously reported that Maxwell has taken numerous foul balls to the mask over recent games and that this may have been linked to his early departure Wednesday. That turned out to be the case, as the A's pulled Maxwell from Wednesday's game to keep him from being significantly injured. Although the team will likely proceed with caution, Maxwell should be available in the near future.

Maxwell was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Angels in the top of the fourth inning due to an undisclosed injury, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics have yet to provide a reason behind Maxwell's early departure, but Lee speculates that it could be related to the fact that the backstop has taken multiple foul balls to the mask over the last few games. Stephen Vogt stepped in to replace Maxwell behind the dish. Look for the Athletics to provide an update on Maxwell's status after the contest.

Maxwell was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maxwell collected two singles in five at-bats during an earlier stint with the club, and will once again be needed following the placement of Josh Phegley (concussion) on the DL. The 26-year-old will serve as the primary backup for Stephen Vogt until Phegley is ready to return.

Maxwell was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Maxwell turned out to be the roster casualty when the A's needed room on the roster for Thursday's starting pitcher Cesar Valdez. The 26-year-old only logged five at-bats during his brief time in Oakland, but he did pick up a pair of hits in that time. He'll look to build off that success in his return to the Sounds.

Maxwell is headed back to Triple-A Nashville, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the move isn't official yet, it appears Maxwell will be optioned back to Triple-A Nashville before Thursday's game against the Mariners. The move is most likely to make room for Cesar Valdez, who is needed to start in place of Kendall Graveman (shoulder) on Thursday. Maxwell was 2-for-5 in two starts with the A's.

Maxwell went 2-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The backup catcher got the start behind the dish while Stephen Vogt slotted in as the designated hitter. Maxwell's pair of singles were his first two hits of the season and represent an extension of the success he enjoyed in his first 101 major-league plate appearances in 2016, a stretch in which he slashed .283/.337/.402.

Maxwell is starting at catcher and batting eighth against the Rangers, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maxwell, who was called up from Triple-A earlier Monday to replace the injured Kendall Graveman, will get his first start of the year behind the plate. He appeared in 33 games with the A's last season (starting 25 at catcher), slashing .283/.337/.402 across 92 at-bats.

Maxwell was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Maxwell will take the place of Kendall Graveman on the roster, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday. The 26-year-old was off to a slow start at Triple-A Nashville, slashing just .208/.296/.375 across 24 at-bats. He'll likely operate as the third catcher with the A's, though it could end up being a brief stint.
