Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Olson got the Athletics on the board with a 438-foot shot to right field in the first inning -- one of three long balls Oakland hit off Detroit starter Casey Mize. He is tied for the team lead with three home runs and has also knocked in eight runs. Olson has gone 8-for-20 with all three of his homers over his past six games.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo shot and scored twice in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old smashed his second home run of the year off Buck Farmer in the fifth inning. Olson is currently slashing .235/.357/.441 and if teammate Matt Chapman and him can begin heating up, the Athletics bats can become a problem for opposing pitchers.

EDGE Analysis

Olson sat out Tuesday's series finale against the Diamondbacks due to a bruised left thumb, but he'll start at first base and bat fifth against Detroit on Thursday. Olson has slashed .226/.324/.355 with a home run and six RBI in nine games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Just as manager Bob Melvin suggested would be the case following Monday's win, Olson will head to the bench for the series finale due to a bruised left thumb. The Athletics are hopeful that with the benefit of a team off day Wednesday, Olson will be ready to play in Oakland's four-game home series with Detroit, which begins Thursday. With Mitch Moreland (hamstring) also sitting out Tuesday, the Athletics will turn to Seth Brown to cover first base.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said after Monday's 9-5 win over the Diamondbacks that Olson (thumb) probably won't play in Tuesday's series finale in Arizona, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Alex Coffey of The Athletic, Oakland is viewing Olson as day-to-day after he exited Monday's contest with a left thumb contusion. He sustained the injury when he was struck by a pitch during a seventh-inning plate appearance. Initial X-rays have already ruled out any structural damage, but Olson may need a day or two for the pain to subside. Oakland has an off day Wednesday before kicking off a four-game home series with the Tigers on Thursday.

Olson is considered day-to-day with a left thumb contusion, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson was plunked on his left hand in the seventh inning of Monday's game and was lifted in the eighth. Fortunately, it sounds like he avoided a serious injury, with Rubin reporting that there is nothing broken. Mitch Moreland is dealing with a hamstring injury, so Seth Brown could get more run if Olson is forced to miss additional time.

Olson left Monday's game after he was hit on his left hand by a pitch in the seventh inning, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson stayed in the game initially but was lifted before the bottom of the eighth inning. Seth Brown replaced Olson at first base. Olson went 0-for-2 with an RBI and a strikeout prior to exiting.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a victory over the Astros on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning, crushing a 414-foot shot to right field with a pair of runners on base. The first baseman entered the game having gone 0-for-11 over his past three games, and Friday's effort pushed his average up to .240 for the campaign.

Olson missed the last two games due to a knee contusion, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second during Thursday's series opener. He went 4-for-17 with a double, one RBI and six strikeouts in his first five games of the season.

Olson (knee) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Olson will sit out for a second straight contest after suffering a knee contusion recently. He underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage and should be considered day-to-day. Mitch Moreland is starting at first base, Mark Canha is serving as the designated hitter and Seth Brown is joining the lineup in left field in Olson's absence.
