The Athletics optioned Noda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Noda's 0-for-3 performance during Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh extended his hitless streak to 28 at-bats across 11 games and gives him a putrid .128 batting average through 83 at-bats on the year. Abraham Toro will likely fill in as Oakland's everyday first baseman while Noda attempts to rediscover his swing in the minors.

Noda is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Noda will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Orioles sending out southpaw Cole Irvin. It marks the third game in a row that Noda hasn't started, though he did pinch hit in each of the Athletics' last two games. Abraham Toro will start at first base Saturday and bat fifth.

Noda isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Left-hander Nestor Cortes will start on the mound for New York, forcing the lefty-hitting Noda to start Thursday's contest in the dugout. While he sits, Abraham Toro will start at first base with Max Schuemann and Darell Hernaiz covering second and third.

Noda went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Noda authored the only multi-hit effort of the game for the Athletics, accomplishing the feat for the first time all season in the process. Noda's leadoff round tripper in the fifth inning was also his first time clearing the fences in 2024, and although his slash line still sits at a forgettable .190/.288/.293 through 67 plate appearances, he's now hit safely in three straight contests.

EDGE Analysis
He will head to the bench with lefty MacKenzie Gore on the hill for Washington. Noda is hitting .179 with one extra-base hit and 16 strikeouts in 13 games.

Noda (hand) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a win over the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Noda had sat out both of the first two games of the series against the Rangers with hand bruise suffered in batting practice, and in his return, he couldn't build on an encouraging effort he'd put together in his most recent game against the Tigers on Sunday. Noda had reached twice and scored two runs in that contest, which marks one of his most productive of a disappointing early part of the season. Through 43 plate appearances, the 28-year-old has just one extra-base hit, a double, and sports an ugly .189/.286/.216 slash line that's partly the byproduct of an elevated 32.6 percent strikeout rate.

Noda (hand) will start at designated hitter and serve as Oakland's No. 6 batter in Thursday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Noda will draw back into the starting nine after he went unused in both of the first two games of the series after injuring his left hand during batting practice prior to Tuesday's 4-3 win in Texas. Fortunately for Noda, he avoided any structural damage to his dominant hand, but the Athletics will ease him back in as their DH on Thursday rather than asking him to man first base like he typically does.

Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to a left hand injury, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to MLB.com, Noda was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 4-3 win after his hand was struck by a pitching machine during batting practice. X-rays on Noda's hand came back negative, so he could be available off the bench Wednesday if he's not dealing with too much discomfort.
