Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie's 419-foot shot to right center in the second was his second in as many nights. Olson has hit safely in four of the five games he's played in since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville last Tuesday, but he still sports a lackluster .209 average and .303 OBP through 76 plate appearances.

Olson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson will head to the bench for a breather as the Orioles send out southpaw Wade Miley. Ryon Healy will take over for him at first base for the contest, though the 23-year-old is expected to start most games at first base against righty pitchers.

Olson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Olson will rejoin the big club following the departure of Yonder Alonso. The 23-year-old, who was slashing .272/.367/.568 with 23 homers for Nashville this season, is expected to take over as the primary first baseman against right-handed pitchers moving forward. He had some trouble in his earlier stint with the A's, hitting just .196 with 22 strikeouts in 51 at-bats, but he may be worth a look in AL-only or deeper mixed-leagues for those in need of a power boost.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that Olson will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics opened up a roster spot for Olson by trading Yonder Alonso to Seattle earlier Sunday, but the 23-year-old wouldn't have been able to join the big club in California in time for the series finale against the Angels later in the day. Once Olson rejoins the Athletics, Melvin said that an everyday spot against right-handed pitching would be opened up for the rookie, who had been deserving of a lengthier look at the big-league level after batting .272 with 40 extra-base hits (23 home runs) at Nashville this season. Contact issues remain a concern for Olson and could depress his batting average with the Athletics -- as was the case in his 60 plate appearances with the club earlier this season -- but he might be worth a look for AL-only or deeper mixed-league teams in need of a power boost.

Olson was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Athletics back in American League ballparks for the time being, the team doesn't need as much position player depth as before. As a result, Olson will head back to the minors after only making a pair of pinch hit appearances. Reliever Josh Smith will replace him on the active roster.

The Athletics recalled Olson from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He was sent to Nashville on July 3 but returns to the big show as the A's look to give more time to their younger players. Olson should piece together time in right field, first base and designated hitter. The 23-year-old has clubbed 19 home runs and posted a .267/.370/.563 over 292 plate appearances for Nashville this year, his second go-round at that level, and already has four big flies in 49 at-bats this year with Oakland.

Olson was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With Matt Chapman (knee) returning from the disabled list Monday, Olson was sent back to Nashville as the roster casualty. The 23-year-old could benefit from some more seasoning in the minors, as evidenced by his .184 average (9-for-49) across 16 games this season. He did have a .310 OBP and .449 slugging percentage thanks to his eight walks and four homers. Khris Davis will likely slide back into the outfield now while Ryon Healy moves back to the DH spot.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a ninth-inning solo home run in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Braves, breaking up Mike Foltynewicz's no-hit bid in the process.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie was the villain in the eyes of the Braves and their fans, launching a 402-foot shot to right to lead off the ninth and spoil the potential no-no. Olson still sports an unsightly .175 average, but is slugging .500 thanks in large part to five extra-base hits (one double, four homers). He's also now riding a modest three-game hitting streak, while all four of the aforementioned round trippers have come in the last six contests.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and three strikeouts against the Astros on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

That marks the rookie's third consecutive three-strikeout game, and he's now 5-for-32 (.156) in the majors this season. Olson has a good eye and he's flashed noteworthy power in the minors, but the 23-year-old doesn't looked well prepared for the majors just yet. However, the A's are going nowhere, so they can afford to stick with him and see if he can find a way to make more contact.

Olson went 2-for-4 with two home runs, two walks and four RBI in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Olson bookended Oakland's 10-run showing against James Shields and company with the first two home runs of his young career. With the A's seemingly embracing a youth movement, Olson may stick around for a while this time. He's hit second in the order in each of the team's last three games.
