Josh Reddick finished 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI Sunday in a win over the Royals.
Reddick finished this weekend's series 5-for-12, a good sign for the outfielder who entered play on Friday with a .210 average (it's now .222). Reddick also collected seven RBI and four extra-base hits in the series, so perhaps this is the beginning of a resurgence.

Josh Reddick finished 2-for-3 with two RBI and three runs scored Friday in a win over the Royals.
Reddick drove in a run with a triple in the fifth inning and was later credited with an RBI on a fielding error by Lorenzo Cain. He has now reached base safely in a career-high 14 straight games. The 26-year-old outfielder missed some time in May with a wrist injury, so fantasy owners will have to hope that his power resurfaces as the season moves along.

Josh Reddick went 1-for-3 with an RBI as the Athletics lost to the Cardinals on Saturday.
The A's were only able to manage five hits off Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright, with Reddick's RBI single in the eighth inning serving as the lone run of the game for Oakland. Reddick now has a hit in eight straight games but is still hitting a paltry .220/.300/.333 this season.

While the rest of the A's lineup was combining for seven runs, Josh Reddick went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Monday against the Rangers.
He also committed his third error in right field. The hope was that Reddick turned the corner when he went 4-for-5 with a homer and a triple on Sunday. Perhaps he has, but tonight's 0-for pushed his average back down to .205.

Josh Reddick doubled in a run Friday in his return from the disabled list.
Reddick was hitting .152 in 29 games before going down, so every hit, especially ones that go for extra bases, are encouraging signs for him. The A's had him batting seventh tonight in his return.

Athletics activated OF Josh Reddick from the 15-day disabled list.
Reddick was cleared to return after going 3-for-14 (.214) with three walks and two stolen bases over four rehab games between High-A Stockton and Triple-A Sacramento. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since May 6 with a sprained right wrist, but he's hoping that the extended rest will pay dividends.

Josh Reddick (wrist) is on track to return from the disabled list on Friday.
Reddick played in a third straight rehab game on Wednesday with no issues. As long as he doesn't have a setback during a final game for Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, he'll be activated prior to the series against the White Sox. "Feels good, no issues with the swing," A's manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday. "The plan is to DH him tomorrow and hopefully we're on our way."

Josh Reddick (wrist) will play the outfield in his second rehab game with High-A Stockton on Tuesday before returning to the designated hitter role on Wednesday.
The A's will re-evaluate him after that, and it seems likely that he'll be activated as long as he doesn't have any setbacks. Reddick had a single in three trips to the plate for Stockton on Monday in his first rehab game. He's been out since early May with right wrist inflammation.

Josh Reddick (wrist) will try taking batting practice on Friday.
If it goes well, he'll be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Reddick discussed last week the possibility of surgery on his right wrist, but he's been able to take dry swings with no issues. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks, it seems possible that he could be activated sometime next week.
