EDGE Analysis

Bleday went 0-for-9 with three walks across the first three games of this series before breaking the slump Sunday. The outfielder is also starting to find a power swing with three homers over his last six contests. He's slashing .215/.332/.398 with eight homers, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored and five stolen bases across 61 contests. Bleday has improved on virtually everything except triples compared to his numbers as a rookie in 2022.

Bleday went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run homer in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday tied the game 2-2 in the first inning with a two-run homer off Brayan Bello. The 25-year-old Bleday has now homered in back-to-back games after hitting just one in his previous 23 contests. Through 207 plate appearances this season, Bleday's slashing .218/.329/.397 with seven homers, 22 RBI, 23 runs scored and four steals.

Bleday went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday went deep in the second inning with his first homer since June 23. The outfielder has hit safely in nine of 13 games in July, going 11-for-47 (.234) so far this month. He's up to a .212/.325/.371 slash line with career highs in homers (six), RBI (20) and runs scored (22) while adding four stolen bases and nine doubles over 56 contests.

Bleday went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and two walks in a loss to the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday extended his hitting streak to four games with Friday's busy night, pushing his average to its highest point (.215) since June 9. The 25-year-old has an impressive 13.4 percent walk rate and modest 21.9 percent strikeout rate, meaning he could be due for continued ascension if his atypically low .252 BABIP normalizes over the course of the second half of the season.

Bleday went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI doubles and a run in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday's recent productive stretch at the plate continued with his second straight two-RBI effort and first multi-hit tally since June 7. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting a relatively modest .250 over his last eight games; however, he's complemented that figure with eight RBI thanks to a .400 average with men on base, as well as a .364 on-base percentage largely due to a 15.2 percent walk rate.

Bleday went 1-for-5 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a run-scoring infield single and a stolen base in an extra-inning win over the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday was ultimately responsible for three of the Athletics' seven runs, even though he didn't get credit for an RBI on the most important one. The young outfielder hit a 10th-inning grounder bobbled by the White Sox's Elvis Andrus, an error that allowed Tyler Wade to score the game-winning run. Bleday's fourth steal of the season also tied his career high, and despite hitting just .182 over his last eight games, he continues to find his way on base and to home plate -- a .344 on-base percentage over that span fueled by a 21.9 percent walk rate has helped lead to him scoring five runs.

Bleday went 0-for-1 with an RBI, two walks and two runs in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old outfielder has reached base safely in 10 straight starts thanks to seven walks, but Bleday's .207/.319/.380 slash line on the season still has plenty of room for improvement. He's started five of the last six games, and the A's have little to lose by giving the 2019 first-round pick -- fourth overall by the Marlins -- a chance to see if he can establish himself as a useful major leaguer.

Bleday went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a two-run home run in a win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The power-hitting outfielder gave the Athletics an early 2-0 lead with his 372-foot shot to right in the first inning with Tony Kemp aboard. Bleday later added a game-tying sacrifice fly in the fifth, giving him his second three-RBI tally this season. Despite the productive night Friday, Bleday's .207/.315/.396 slash line has plenty of room for improvement. He's been disciplined at the plate as evidenced by a 13.8 percent walk rate and 20.0 percent strikeout rate.

Bleday went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

This was Bleday's second straight game with a steal -- he had just one theft before this weekend. The outfielder hasn't hit particularly well in June, going 8-for-39 (.205) over 13 games this month, though that's just about in line with his season average of .210. He's added a .695 OPS, four home runs, eight RBI, 12 runs scored and six doubles through 35 contests. The poor hitting has seen Bleday slip into a part-time role as more of a fourth outfielder.

Bleday entered Saturday's extra-innings loss to the Phillies in the second inning following Ramon Laureano's ejection and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday's day off came to an abrupt end after Laureano got the hook just one inning into his return from a three-game absence due to a finger injury. The steal was the second of the season for the slugging outfielder, who's never recorded more than five in any professional stop but did tally four swipes during his first taste of the big leagues with the Marlins in 2022. Bleday continues to run mostly cold at the plate after a noteworthy start following his May 3 promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas, although his .194 average through 12 June games is at least partly offset by a serviceable .326 on-base percentage that's largely due to a 16.3 percent walk rate in that span.
