EDGE Analysis

The emerging center fielder has been swinging a red-hot bat over the last two games in particular, going 7-for-10 with a home run and four RBI during that pair of contests. He's hitting .341 overall in his last 10 games, a stretch during which he's compiled four multi-hit efforts overall. Despite his stellar body of work in the early going, the equally impressive efforts of Mark Canha and Chad Pinder -- along with the Athletics' desire to have Fowler get as many reps as possible -- project to keep the 23-year-old with the Sounds for the time being, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
