Reddick remained red-hot on Sunday against the Rangers, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and one walk, extending his hitting streak to 11 games.
After returning from an injury absence, Reddick has really hit his stride of late and is hitting .500 during the streak. He will be a fixture in the ever-changing Oakland lineup for as long as he continues to perform at this level.

Reddick had four RBI on Saturday and hit his third homer of the year.
Reddick has moved into the third spot in the order the last two days to fill the void left by the injury to Ben Zobrist. He has been on fire to start the year, now sporting a .385 average with a 1.060 OPS through 65 at-bats.

Reddick will bat third in the order for the second straight game Sunday against the Rangers.
Reddick had typically resided in the six-hole, but now has an opportunity to rack up a few more at-bats in his new spot. He'll be the third option manager Bob Melvin has used there since Ben Zobrist (knee) was placed on the DL. Reddick has certainly been performing like a three-hitter of late, hitting safely in 10 straight games and posting a 1.060 OPS since his return from the disabled list in early-April.

Reddick was 2-for-4 on Tuesday night with his second home run and three RBI.
Reddick missed the first week of the season with an oblique injury, but has been on fire since he returned to the lineup. Reddick is now hitting .360 with a .998 OPS through his first 50 at-bats of 2015. Perhaps the best sign of Reddick's early season success is that he has managed to only strike out four times.

Reddick went 2-for-2 Saturday with two walks and a run scored.
He's now hitting a cool .500 (11-for-22) over his last seven games. As long as the A's keep Reddick away from same-side pitching, he should be able to stay relatively hot.

Reddick is out of the lineup Friday against the Astros.
A long series of opposing right-handed pitchers kept Reddick in the lineup for 10 of the team's last 11 games, but he'll sit Friday in favor of Cody Ross in right field with lefty Dallas Keuchel on the bump for Houston. The A's figure to shield Reddick, a career .229/.290/.398 hitter against left-handed pitching, from southpaws as much as possible.

Reddick is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Reddick will sit for just the third time this season with the A's taking on Angels southpaw Hector Santiago on Tuesday. Cody Ross will get the start in right field in Reddick's place.

Reddick was 2-for-4 with three RBI on Saturday, including a long home run off Yordano Ventura.
The homer was the first of the season for Reddick who missed the first week recovering from an oblique injury. Reddick should man right field for the A's on a daily basis, although he may sit against some tough lefties. Reddick suffered through injury-marred seasons in 2013 and 2014, but has some sneaky power upside if he can find a way to stay healthy.

Reddick was 2-for-5 with an RBI in his first game back off the DL on Sunday.
Reddick looked sharp at the plate, lining an RBI single off Felix Hernandez and then smoking a double off Fernando Rodney. Reddick made a costly error in the field, but the A's will certainly not worry about Reddick's defense. Reddick did hit eighth in the lineup on Sunday which could hurt his fantasy value, but he should slide up the order, especially against righties, if he is productive.

Reddick will start in right field Sunday against the Mariners.
Reddick was activated from the DL Sunday morning after dealing with an oblique strain, and manager Bob Melvin wasted little time getting him into the lineup. His availability likely means less reps in the outfield for players such as Cody Ross and Craig Gentry.
