Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson generated the only multi-hit effort for the Athletics on an afternoon where they were mostly stymied by German Marquez and a pair of relievers. The two-hit tally snapped a 1-for-21 slump for Olson that had encompassed his last five games. The 24-year-old has endured his toughest full month of the season at the plate, as despite Sunday's production, he's still hitting just .207 (17-for-82) since the calendar flipped to July.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson followed up a two-homer day Sunday in the series finale against the Giants with another multi-hit effort, his fourth of July. The slugging infielder has shown a bit more of a discerning eye in July, as his 13 walks are his highest in any month thus far this season and have helped lead to a .389 on-base percentage over the last 17 games. Olson has also managed to lower his strikeout rate from 27.8 percent to 24.8 percent this season while also setting a new high-water mark with 49 RBI.

EDGE Analysis

After bashing 24 home runs in just 59 games last season, Olson has finally crossed the 20-homer mark in his 100th game of 2018. In 410 plate appearances, the 24-year-old owns a .237/.329/.457 slash line with 53 runs scored and 49 RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Olson also has just four extra-base hits during the month, including a sole home run. It's a stark departure from his prodigious month of June, one in which he compiled nine round trippers and 22 RBI. It's possible that the minor back issue that limited him to a non-starting role July 11 against the Astros is still affecting him to a degree, but there have been no official reports attesting to that.
