Phegley is not in the lineup against the White Sox on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley will once again find his way to the bench as the Athletics are rolling with Chris Herrmann behind the plate. With Herrmann absolutely tearing it up since being activated from the injured list, Phegley's playing time has essentially been split with the 31-year-old catcher. Phegley is hitting just .211 over the last month.

Phegley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley started three of the Athletics' last four games, but he likely has a shorter leash on the No. 1 catching gig following Chris Herrmann's return from the injured list earlier in the week. Herrmann recorded five hits -- including a grand slam -- across his first two starts and will be rewarded with a turn behind the plate as the Athletics wrap up the first half Sunday. Phegley, meanwhile, has gone hitless over his last three starts and is slashing .192/.235/.321 since the beginning of June.

Phegley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley started four of the last five games and went 4-for-15 with two runs scored and one RBI in that stretch, but he'll receive a breather in Thursday's series finale. Chris Herrmann is starting behind the plate and batting eighth for the A's.

Phegley is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley has been surprisingly productive this season, hitting a solid .263/.304/.470 and tying his career high with nine homers. It's unclear what his role will be going forward with Chris Herrmann now back from knee surgery.

Phegley went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley closed out June in strong fashion, going 4-for-8 over the final two contests of the month. The backstop hit just .224 overall in June after a productive May, but his aforementioned two-game surge did serve to quickly make up 10 of the 29 points his season average had lost during the extended slump.

Phegley went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop has been mostly scuffling at the plate throughout the month, so the multi-hit effort was a particularly welcome sight. Phegley's average has experienced a 24-point tumble down to .258 since the calendar flipped to June, but he's shown some modest signs of life lately by hitting safely in three of his past four games.

Phegley is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley is slashing just .200/.246/.382 through 20 games in June, so he'll sit for a second straight game as Beau Taylor picks up another start behind the dish in his stead.

Phegley went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a double and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Phegley started the scoring with his three-run shot during the fifth inning, and he also came around to score after his leadoff double in the seventh. The 31-year-old is enjoying the best season of his career with a .267/.314/.500 slash line and nine homers in 60 games.
