Olson is out of the lineup for Saturday's game at Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Olson has been held out of the starting lineup only four times since the start of May, but will receive a breather against Twins' left-hander Stephen Gonsalves on Saturday. Mark Canha will take over at first base for the Athletics, with Ramon Laureano starting in center field.

Olson went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a loss to the Twins on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the disappointing outcome from a team perspective, Olson enjoyed an individually rewarding day while snapping out of the 1-for-16 slump that had encompassed his last four games. The 24-year-old is still enjoying a solid August despite his recent struggles, and Thursday's multi-hit effort served as his seventh of the month. Olson has carried a bit more pop in recent contests as well, racking up seven doubles and a home run over the last 11 games.

Olson went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Nine (seven doubles, two home runs) of Olson's 16 hits during August have now gone for extra bases, and he's generated three straight two-hit efforts. The 24-year-old's bat began heating up at the tail end of July, and he's now slashing .318/.366/.545 over the 71 plate appearances encompassing his last 17 games.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a double in an extra-innings loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson's modest hot streak continued Wednesday, with production vaulting his tally to 6-for-15 with three doubles, two RBI, a walk and a run over the last four games. The 24-year-old has improved on a lackluster July over the first half of August, as he's now hitting .267 during the current month and is just one double short of the six he compiled over 25 July games.

Olson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson will give way to Mark Canha at first base for Tuesday's contest with left-hander James Paxton starting for the opposition. The 24-year-old is hitting .243/.300/.405 with one homer through 10 games this month.

Olson went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson generated his third multi-hit game of August in the one-run victory, a tally that included this fifth two-bagger over the last 11 games. The slugging infielder has only left the yard a modest four times since July 6, but his 22 home runs rank him second only to Khris Davis (34) on the Athletics.

Olson is not starting Saturday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Olson will take a seat against the left-handed Tyler Skaggs. Mark Canha will start at first base, with Ramon Laureano taking Canha's spot in center field.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in the 6-0 win over the Tigers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson was held without a long ball since his multi-homer effort on July 22. He's up to 22 home runs on the year as he's still chasing last year's total of 24 despite having over double the at-bats in 2018.

Olson went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in an extra-innings win over the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It's now a five-game hitting streak for Olson, a modest but nevertheless encouraging stretch of offense during which he's laced four doubles, knocked in a pair of runs and posted three multi-hit efforts overall. Olson had seen his average plummet all the way to .229 prior to the streak -- its lowest point since May 13.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson generated one of two multi-RBI efforts for the Athletics, helping him wrap up July in strong fashion. While he limped to a .220 average overall during the month, he went 5-for-12 with two doubles and Tuesday's pair of RBI over the last three games. While Olson isn't keeping anywhere near the same frenetic home-run pace he established during his 2017 rookie campaign, he's still blasted an impressive 21 round trippers and compiled 40 extra-base hits overall across 451 plate appearances.
