Fowler is 4-for-10 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs over his first two games with Triple-A Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was optioned to the Aviators out of big-league camp back on March 12, as the Athletics simply had too crowded an outfield for Fowler to carve out a spot. Fowler struggled in his first exposure to big-league arms in 2018, generating a .224/.256/.354 line across 203 plate appearances, but he's off to a good start with respect to replicating his success last season at the Triple-A level (.341/.364/.520).

Fowler was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Julian McWilliams of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler is hitting .293 so far this spring, but that won't be enough for him to break into a crowded Oakland outfield. He'll wait for an injury to open up a spot.

Fowler entered Tuesday's 4-1 Cactus League win over the Rangers as a pinch runner in the sixth inning and smacked a solo home run in his one plate appearance. He scored twice overall.

EDGE Analysis

The young outfielder already has a pair of homers and six total hits in 22 spring at-bats. Fowler had his moments as a rookie last season, but he finished 2018 with a pedestrian .224/.256/.354 line that included 11 extra-base hits (three doubles, two triples and six home runs) and 23 RBI across 203 plate appearances. Fowler is battling for a major-league roster spot in a relatively crowded outfield that added Robbie Grossman this offseason. However, his ability to fill in at both left and center field could give him a leg up if he's able to continue producing at the plate for the balance of the exhibition slate.

Fowler was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Fowler is back with the A's after spending a little less than a month in the minors following an underwhelming 59-game stint with the big club earlier in the year (.231/260/.328, though he did have six homers and six steals). The 23-year-old should get an opportunity to prove himself down the stretch, though with the A's in a playoff race, he may be utilized primarily as a pinch runner or defensive replacement.

Fowler was removed from Triple-A Nashville's game Thursday after just one at-bat and is expected to be promoted to the Athletics on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder's return would come 30 days after he was sent back down to the Sounds following a forgettable 14-game major-league stint in July (.180 average, one home run, four RBI). Fowler has been much better at the minor-league level this season, slashing .341/.364/.520 across 55 games in Nashville. With rosters expanding Saturday and the Sounds' season approaching its conclusion, Fowler could have ample opportunity to improve on his major-league body of work in September.

Fowler was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler will head to the minor leagues after hitting just .180 with one homer and four RBI through 14 games in July. He figures to return to the big leagues when the rosters expand in September, if not sooner.

Fowler is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler has been on the bench for all three games of the Athletics' series in Colorado and may have surrendered his everyday role in center field to Nick Martini. Over 15 contests in July, Fowler has supplied an ugly .192 on-base percentage, a sizable drop from his already less-than-stellar .260 season mark.

Fowler isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler will get his second straight day off, as Nick Martini is slated to lead off and man center field. Fowler has gone just 2-for-11 with a triple and one RBI over his previous five games.

Fowler is not in the lineup against Colorado on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler will head to the bench with left-hander Kyle Freeland on the mound for the Rockies. In his place, Mark Canha will start in center field and bat seventh.

Fowler is out of the lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler will remain on the bench for the fourth time in the past five games with the Athletics facing yet another southpaw (Martin Perez). Mark Canha will draw another start in center field in his absence. Look for Fowler to get back in the lineup Thursday versus right-hander Bartolo Colon.
