Olson went 2-for-3 with two RBI from a run-scoring groundout and a double in Thursday's 12-9 loss to the Astros. He also walked twice and scored once.

EDGE Analysis

Olson celebrated a return to the big-league club by getting on base four times and notching his first two major-league hits of 2017 in the process. The 23-year-old's defensive versatility figures to afford him some playing time while fellow prospect Matt Chapman (knee) remains sidelined, giving him some much-needed seasoning against big-league arms.

The Athletics recalled Olson from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The A's designated Stephen Vogt for assignment and put Matt Chapman (knee) on the disabled list. Olson, who has smashed 17 home runs while hitting .217/.365/.561 in 249 plate appearances, could find some work at outfield and designated hitter, with a dash of first base. He should at least minimally help AL-only and some mixed-league fantasy players for however long he has this window.

Olson was optioned to Triple-A Nashville following Tuesday's game to make room for Wednesday starter Daniel Gossett, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old went 1-for-9 with an RBI, two walks and a run over 11 plate appearances across five games with the big-league club. He'll look to continue what's been a solid season at Triple-A Nashville, where he's slashed . 286/.376/.582 with 15 home runs and 38 RBI.

Olson was recalled by the A's on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The young outfielder was expected to be down at Triple-A until at least mid-June after being optioned earlier in the week, but an injury to Andrew Triggs allowed him to come back up to the big league club. Olson went 1-for-3 in his earlier stint with the A's and he has a .286/.376/.582 slash line with 15 home runs at Triple-A Nashville this season. He will not be in Saturday's lineup but he could be available off the bench.

Olson was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson's second stint with the major-league club was uneventful, as he played in just one game and logged only a pair of plate appearances. The 23-year-old has put together an excellent .285/.374/.575 slash line in 47 games with Nashville this season, and if Matt Joyce continues to struggle, Olson could be up for good before too long.

Olson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson doesn't have a clear path to everyday at-bats with the Athletics outfield at full strength, but the promotion to the big leagues is a nice reward nonetheless for his domination of the Pacific Coast League. The 23-year-old was slashing .285/.374/.575 with 14 home runs and 37 RBI over 179 at-bats with Nashville.

Olson is slashing a solid .281/.369/.568 with 11 home runs and 31 RBI over 36 games with Triple-A Nashville, but he's not likely to be called up to the big-league club anytime soon, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The issue isn't with Olson's play, which the A's are highly satisfied with relative to his place in the organization. The 23-year-old has flashed a superior glove and solid patience at the plate, although he's still trying to cut down a strikeout rate that's presently at 24.4 percent. One AL scout likens Olson's skill set to Reds outfielder Adam Dunn, noting that the A's prospect controls the strike zone and has substantial power. However, despite his abundance of positive attributes, it could be difficult for the outfielder to carve out a spot on the big-league roster this season. Offseason acquisition Matt Joyce isn't likely to draw much interest from contenders after struggling this season, while first base, which Olson could also play, is occupied by Yonder Alonso and backed up by Ryon Healy.

Olson was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Olson made just one appearance with the Athletics before being sent back to Nashville, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts while playing the entire game in left field. He's now just a combined 2-for-25 in his two major league stints. He'll head back to Triple-A for some more seasoning, though he could earn another promotion should an opportunity in the majors arise.

Olson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A top-10 prospect in the organization, he is set for his second career major-league stint. Olson mostly struggled after being called up last year in September, going just 2-for-21, although he did draw seven walks against four strikeouts. He is not in the lineup Friday and it's uncertain how much he will play while with the big club.

Olson has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Olson made his Athletics debut last season after rosters expanded, but he has played just one season above Double-A ball and has shown significant strikeout issues in the minors, so he needs more seasoning before becoming a regular in Oakland. Olson mustered a .757 OPS despite just a .235 batting average last year, so if he can find a way to make more contact, he could become a staple in the Athletics outfield.
