Cameron will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Set for his fourth start in five games, Cameron's playing time is on the upswing, but he probably hasn't done enough to take control of an everyday role just yet. He went 1-for-11 with three strikeouts over his prior three starts and is now slashing .200/.200/.314 in 35 plate appearances over 11 games for Oakland since getting a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 23.

Cameron went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a stolen base in a win over Atlanta on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron opened the scoring on what would be a prolific afternoon for both teams with a first-inning double that plated Shea Langeliers and Miguel Andujar. Cameron would go on to record his first steal of the season as well, and the two-hit day snapped a 1-for-11 funk that had encompassed his previous three games. The 27-year-old boosted his average 50 points to .238 with his second multi-hit tally of the campaign, and the double served as his first extra-base hit since he'd homered in his season debut May 23.

Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron's blast was the reason the game went to extras, as he tied it at 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning. The outfielder earned a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas by slashing .299/.418/.569 over 41 contests, and it appears he'll compete for playing time in the corner outfield initially. Cameron last played in the majors in 2022, seeing action in 21 games for the Tigers. His speed is likely to be more prominent than his power, though he'll need to show he can hit major-league pitching at all to get regular reps.

The Athletics selected Cameron's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron, 27, has slashed a robust .307/.424/.577 with six home runs and eight stolen bases over 41 contests with Las Vegas this season. Keep in mind, however, that Las Vegas is a favorable hitting environment, and in 73 games at the major-league level, Cameron has slashed a meager .201/.266/.330. He was called up to take the spot on the 26-man active roster that was vacated by Esteury Ruiz (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The right-handed-hitting Cameron could settle in as a short-side platoon option in the outfield.

Cameron is carrying a .404/.530/.827 slash line across the 66 plate appearances he's logged for Triple-A Las Vegas over 14 games in May.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron has laced 14 of his 21 hits during that span for extra-bases as well, which has led to 16 RBI. He's also walking at a 19.7 percent clip while only striking out 13.6 percent of the time, making it a particularly impressive stretch of offensive production. However, Cameron has had similarly successful stints throughout his long minors career, only to significantly struggle against big-league arms when given the opportunity; therefore, even if he's able to break through with a promotion, it remains to be seen if Cameron will be able to carry over the momentum.

The Athletics reassigned Cameron to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics in November. In 110 games at Triple-A last season, he slashed .268/.346/.452 with 16 home runs and 23 steals. In spring training this year, the 27-year-old has slashed .200/.310/.200 across 29 plate appearances in 14 games.

Cameron signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A former prospect of note with the Astros and the Tigers, Cameron is now on his fourth organization after spending all of last season with Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate. Oakland is a good landing spot for a player like Cameron, as there could be at-bats up for grabs. He slashed .268/.346/.452 with 16 home runs and 23 steals in 110 games at Triple-A last year and turns 27 in January.

Cameron (finger) elected free agency Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron registered a .798 OPS with 16 homers and 23 steals over 110 games with the Triple-A affiliate of the Orioles in 2023 before suffering a season-ending finger sprain in mid-September. The 26-year-old outfielder owns a career .201 batting average and .597 OPS in 244 plate appearances at the MLB level.

Cameron was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 16 with a finger sprain, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old outfielder slashed .268/.346/.452 with 16 home runs and 23 steals in 110 games at Triple-A. Even so, Cameron rated as slightly below league average (98 wRC+, 100 is average) and he first played at the Triple-A level back in 2018.

The Orioles reassigned Cameron to minor-league camp Monday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron is expected to begin his first season in the Baltimore organization at Triple-A Norfolk, where he should be in line to fill a near-everyday role in the outfield. The 26-year-old owns a career .201/.266/.330 slash line while striking out in 31.6 percent of his 244 plate appearances in the big leagues over parts of three seasons with the Tigers.
