Bleday went 3-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday authored one of two three-hit efforts for the Athletics, and he scored the run that started Oakland's rally from a five-run deficit. In the process, the outfielder snapped out of a brief 0-for-10 skid that had encompassed his previous three games, and his productive afternoon gave his batting average a welcome 34-point boost to .262.

Bleday is not in Saturday's lineup against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He'll head to the bench against lefty MacKenzie Gore. Bleday is hitting .236 with one home run, three runs and five RBI in 55 at-bats.

Bleday went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run homer in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday put the A's ahead 4-3 in the third inning with a two-run shot off Brayan Bello, his first homer of the year. The 26-year-old Bleday has gotten off to a fast start this season, going 8-for-23 with four extra-base hits out of the three spot in Oakland's lineup. Bleday slashed .195/.310/.355 with 10 homers and 27 RBI in 256 at-bats in 2023.

Bleday went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in and a run scored during Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday took part in three of the Athletics' four runs Sunday, plating Esteury Ruiz on a first-inning triple and then bringing Ruiz around once again on a single in the third frame. Following the triple, Bleday was brought in on a Seth Brown single. Bleday has now hit safely in three of four games and is batting 5-for-17 overall (.294).

Bleday went 2-for-4 with a double in an 8-0 loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Shane Bieber and three relievers allowed only four hits in the shutout victory, but Bleday picked up half of them. The encouraging start at the plate follows a productive spring for the 26-year-old outfielder in which he hit .348 with three doubles, one triple, two home runs and seven RBI across 51 plate appearances.

Bleday went 2-for-3 with a run Saturday in a Cactus League loss to the Brewers, pushing his spring average to .353 across 39 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday snapped a three-game hitless streak with his fourth multi-hit effort of spring. The 26-year-old outfielder has a triple, a homer and five RBI on his Cactus League resume as well, and his spring performance has seemingly locked him into a reserve outfielder job despite his paltry .195/.310/.355 slash line across 82 games in his A's debut campaign in 2023.

Bleday went 2-for-3 with a two-run triple, a solo home run and an additional run in the Athletics' Cactus League win over the Giants on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bleday drew the start in center field and snapped the three-game hitless stretch he'd opened Cactus League play with in spectacular fashion. A first-round pick of the Marlins in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft, Bleday landed in the A's organization a season ago and slashed .195/.310/.355 with 21 extra-base hits and 27 RBI across 82 games with the big-league club. His body of work at Triple-A Las Vegas was much more noteworthy -- he posted a .333 average and 1.111 OPS over 133 plate appearances with the Aviators -- but Bleday should have a solid chance to break camp with Oakland and open the season as a reserve option across all three outfield positions.
