Noda is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Noda will get the night off against Jose Suarez and the Angels' pitching staff for the series opener. Jesus Aguilar is hitting cleanup while playing first base with Carlos Perez operating as the designated hitter and batting seventh.

Noda will sit Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Noda has yet to start against a lefty this season, a pattern which will continue Saturday against Andrew Heaney. The rookie's 23.3 percent walk rate is excellent, but he's striking out 31.7 percent of the time and hitting just .217. Jesus Aguilar starts at first base in his absence.

Noda is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Jesus Aguilar gets a start at first base in place of Noda, who has slashed .227/.393/.386 with a pair of home runs and 12 walks this season.

Noda went 2-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Noda notched his second multi-hit effort of the season and most-admirably drew a walk for the seventh game in a row. His patience has been noteworthy, but the 27-year-old is slashing just .211/.388/.395 with two home runs, two RBI and nine runs scored over 16 games.

Noda entered Saturday's loss to the Mets as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning and recorded a walk and a stolen base.

EDGE Analysis

Noda took a seat to start the game while mired in a 2-for-16 skid, but he was able to make contributions by drawing a walk for the sixth straight game. The lefty-swinging first baseman has just six hits in his first 44 plate appearances, but he's boasting an impressive .364 on-base percentage thanks largely to his 22.7 percent walk rate.

Noda is starting at first base and batting second for the Athletics on Tuesday in Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight game in the two-hole for the Rule 5 pick. Noda has only four hits in 22 at-bats this season, but two of them have gone for homers and he's also drawn five walks. It's the 27-year-old's seventh start in 10 games this season.

Noda is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Noda started the past four games and has home runs in two straight, but he'll take a seat Saturday with southpaw Jeffrey Springs on the mound for Tampa Bay. Jesus Aguilar will man first base while Seth Brown serves as the designated hitter.

Noda went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Noda filled in at designated hitter for the first time while moving up to the No. 2 spot in the order, and he responded with a 401-foot shot to right-center in the third inning that gave the Athletics their second run. The slugging rookie has left the yard in consecutive games, already demonstrating a penchant for hard contact that was evident throughout his minor-league career.

Noda went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie had clocked his first career extra-base hit Monday in the form of a double, and Noda followed it up Wednesday with 385-foot shot to right center in the eighth inning that put the Athletics on the board. The Rule 5 draft selection has validated Oakland's decision to hang onto him after Cactus League play, reaching safely in each of his first three starts.

Noda went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jesus Aguilar was given the night off after three straight starts to open the season, and Noda was afforded the opportunity to log his first major-league start in the process. The Rule 5 Draft selection displayed some of the pop that enticed the Athletics to hold on to him after Cactus League play, and he also crossed the plate in the second inning on Esteury Ruiz's double after leading off the frame with a single in his first regular-season big-league plate appearance. It's an encouraging start for Noda, who could work himself into a solid share of playing time between first base and designated hitter if he proves capable of wielding a consistent bat.
