Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Royals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It suddenly feels like 2017 again for Olson, who's in the midst of a power surge akin to the jaw-dropping one he generated during his rookie campaign. Sunday's homer was already his third of June, as well as his eighth since May 14. Olson sports an impressive 30.8 percent HR/FB rate and 59.7 percent hard contact rate over that 20-game stretch, numbers that have helped lead to a .438 wOBA and .397 ISO during that span as well. More consistent contact has certainly been a key, as Olson's 19.5 percent strikeout rate in that sample is a significant improvement on the 31.4 percent figure he sported over his first 38 games.

Olson went 1-for-4 a solo home run in a win over the Rays on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson launched the first of two round trippers off Ryan Yarbrough in the seventh, blasting a mammoth 475-foot shot to right. The 24-year-old appears to be picking up the pace in terms of his power hitting, as he more than doubled up his homer total from April's two by smacking six during May. A boost in flyball rate from 36.8 percent to 45.5 percent appears to have played a significant part, a trend that Olson will look to continue as the calendar flips to June.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson now has five of his eight homers on the season in May, and an impressive 13 extra-base hits overall during the month when factoring in his eight doubles. Despite a slight bump in strikeout rate from 27.8 to 29.0 percent, Olson's cause is being aided by a .319 BABIP. He's unsurprisingly well off the unsustainable long-ball pace he established in his 2017 rookie campaign, as even with Saturday's homer, Olson has 16 fewer round trippers in just nine fewer plate appearances this season.

Olson went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson had the only multi-hit effort of the night for a mostly moribund Athletics offense. The 24-year-old has seen a downturn overall at the plate during May, but he has doubled his April home run total by going deep on four occasions. Olson has also started picking it up offensively during the latter half of the month, as he's hitting .300 with four doubles, three home runs, five RBI, four walks and four runs across the 45 plate appearances he's logged since May 14.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson got to Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel with a 353-foot shot that just cleared the Green Monster in the ninth, his second round tripper over the last three games. The 24-year-old now has a trio of two-hit efforts over the last six games, but he's actually seen his season average drop 24 points to .238 since May 2 as a result of a 9-for-48 stretch over the subsequent 13 games.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs in a win over the Red Sox on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson's fifth homer of the season extended the Athletics' lead to 5-3 in the sixth inning and served as his first round tripper since May 4. The 24-year-old is considerably off the torrid long-ball pace he established in his spectacular 2017 rookie campaign, but he's actually making hard contact at a career-best 51.1 percent rate. However, a near-four-point bump in strikeout rate (27.8 percent to 31.3 percent) over last season is certainly playing a part in his reduced output.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and one RBI Sunday in the 2-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Olson came through with a RBI double in the fourth inning to put the A's up 2-1. He's slashing .256/.346/.410 with four home runs and 14 RBI through 34 games this season. Olson is supplying decent power at the plate, but he'll look to cut down on the strikeouts moving forward (42 in 117 at-bats).

Olson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a win over the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson capped off a first-inning onslaught against Orioles starter Andrew Cashner with a 429-foot shot to right center, immediately following a three-run blast off the bat of Khris Davis. It was the slugger's first home run since April 16, a drought the likes of which wasn't seen during his explosive long-ball tear in 2017. Despite being off last season's torrid homer pace, Olson's line sits at a solid .264/.352/.418 over 125 plate appearances.

Olson is not in the lineup against the Mariners on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson will get the night off with southpaw James Paxton pitching for Seattle. Mark Canha will get the start at first base while Jake Smolinski starts in center field.

Olson went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in Tuesday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Olson exploded for 24 home runs in just 59 games in the majors last season, and while he hasn't been able to match that torrid pace, the 24-year-old is still finding a way to reach base consistently. The power will likely come around at some point, though that could be met with a bit of regression in his average -- he currently has an unsustainably high .393 BABIP.
