Cameron will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics look set to give Cameron a look in an everyday role after Miguel Andujar (core) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. While Andujar was held out of the lineup both of the previous two contests, Cameron filled in for him in left field and went 1-for-6 with an RBI and a stolen base. Cameron is slashing .202/.279/.368 with five home runs and four steals across 129 plate appearances in the big leagues for the season.

Cameron went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a stolen base in a win over the Brewers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cameron's fourth-inning sacrifice fly snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they'd hold on to the rest of the way. Cameron's stolen base was also his second in the last three games, and the veteran outfielder has now rather quietly fashioned a .303 average and .888 OPS with four extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs across his last 15 contests overall.

Cameron went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cameron drew his sixth start of August and managed to rap out a single for the third straight game. The journeyman outfielder appears set for intermittent playing time down the stretch, and his fantasy utility is very limited while sitting on a .189/.275/.358 slash line, even if he does have five homers and three steals in 120 MLB plate appearances this year.

Cameron went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cameron drew his first start since last Monday and delivered his second extra-base hit since July 27. The little-used veteran holds just a .185 average and .659 OPS across 38 games at the big-league level in 2024, so his opportunities are likely to remain sparse as long as good health prevails in the Athletics' outfield.

Cameron went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Cameron got the A's on the board with a solo blast in the second inning off Robbie Ray for his second homer over his last three games. Cameron's only made six starts in July and has reached safely in all of them. He's posted five hits with his two home runs being the only ones going for extra bases and the only times he's knocked in runs. The 27-year-old is slashing .188/.281/.388 with five homers, nine RBI, 13 runs, two steals and a 10:21 BB:K in 96 plate appearances this year.

Cameron went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in a win over the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cameron managed to hit safely for the fourth straight start dating back to July 12 and added his first steal since June 1 for good measure. The 27-year-old is seeing occasional opportunities in the outfield and has also slotted in twice as the designated hitter, but his .184 average and .626 OPS don't make much of a case for reliable playing time.

Cameron went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cameron's 382-foot shot to right center in the fourth inning ended up serving as the game-winning hit, as it gave the Athletics a one-run lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old last left the yard June 28, and Thursday's start, which came in center field, was Cameron's first since July 13.

Cameron went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run in a win over the Phillies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Usual leadoff hitter JJ Bleday opened the game on the bench with southpaw Ranger Suarez on the mound for the Phillies, and Cameron took advantage of his first taste of game action since last Saturday. The young outfielder has offered some decent pop -- he's laced five of his 12 hits for extra bases -- and has drawn walks at an impressive 11.1 percent clip. However, Cameron has also been saddled by an astoundingly low .180 BABIP, and he's been given scant opportunity to work out the kinks of late even with Esteury Ruiz's (wrist) absence now well into its second month.

Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics hit a trio of solo shots in the ninth inning to run away with this game. Cameron's blast was his third of the year and just his second hit over his last nine contests. He's at a .177/.250/.355 slash line with with six RBI, seven runs scored and one stolen base through 68 plate appearances. Cameron's lack of consistency at the plate is likely to keep him in a part-time role as he competes with Lawrence Butler for playing time in right field.

Cameron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 6-2 loss to the Twins in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was Cameron's first since his season debut May 23. He went 0-for-3 in the nightcap, but it's encouraging to see the outfielder maintain decent playing time. He hasn't done a lot with it, slashing .182/.234/.341 with two homers, five RBI, five runs scored and a 3:10 BB:K over 47 plate appearances this season. Cameron should continue to be an option in the corner outfield spots, though it wouldn't be a surprise for him to settle into a short-side platoon role if he can't find consistency at the plate.
