Noda went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double, two walks and a run in a loss to the Pirates on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Athletics took their 50th loss of the season, but not much more could have been asked of Noda, who reached safely for the fifth straight game. The 27-year-old has a .403 on-base percentage for the season across 201 plate appearances and now carries an astronomical 19.4 percent walk rate, albeit alongside a 33.8 percent strikeout rate.

Noda went 2-for-4 with a walk in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Noda's on-base percentage is once again hovering near an elite .400 (.396) thanks to Saturday's busy day at the plate. The 27-year-old rookie now boasts a .294 average and .914 OPS over his last 10 games despite the fact he's also struck out in a whopping 41 percent of his 39 plate appearances during that span. Given his ability to get on base at a very high clip and the Athletics' dearth of offensive options, Noda's everyday role is seemingly safe regardless of his inconsistent contact rate.

Noda went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over Atlanta on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Noda's 355-foot shot in the fifth with Jonah Bride and Esteury Ruiz aboard snapped a 1-1 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Noda has now reached safely in 11 straight starts, a stretch where he owns a .973 OPS despite a pair of hitless pinch-hit at-bats and a 36.2 percent strikeout rate.

Noda went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Noda took Cristian Javier deep to lead off the bottom of the first inning, but it was all Astros after that. Over his last 11 games, Noda has gone 10-for-32 (.313) with two homers, six RBI and three doubles. He's been a bright spot recently in a lineup that lacks much in the way of offense. For the season, he's slashing .241/.400/.451 with five homers, 16 RBI, 26 runs scored, two stolen bases and 11 doubles through 50 contests, though Noda remains mostly confined to a strong-side platoon role at first base.

Noda is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Noda will take a seat as the Athletics face off with left-hander Framber Valdez on the mound. Righty bat Jesus Aguilar will take over at first base and bat fifth against Houston.

Noda is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Jesus Aguilar will start at first base and bat cleanup with left-hander Marco Gonzales on the mound for Seattle. Noda has flashed decent power and great on-base skills, but he'll likely continue to sit versus most southpaws.

Noda went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Noda has struggled to hit lately, going 3-for-30 (.100) over his last 11 games, though he also has a solid 10:12 BB:K in that span. The first baseman is getting on base enough to maintain a consistent spot in the lineup against right-handed pitchers. He's slashing .218/.403/.418 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals through 144 plate appearances.
