Brown is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Yankees, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has served as Oakland's primary right fielder against right-handed starters for the majority of the season, but he'll sit Friday's series opener against righty Jameson Taillon. With Ramon Laureano back from a hip injury and Tony Kemp trending toward an everyday role, Brown is likely to see a drop-off in starts going forward.
