Brown was scratched from the lineup ahead of Oakland's spring training game Thursday against Cleveland due to lower-back tightness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has had an impressive spring thus far, going 6-for-15 with a home run and five RBI across six games. The A's didn't specify the severity of Brown's injury, but the 31-year-old outfielder will presumably sit out a few games as he recovers.
