Fuld is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers. This marks four absences in the last five games for the struggling Fuld, who owns a .191/.267/.290 slash line through 131 at-bats. Ben Zobrist has been spending more time in left field, allowing Eric Sogard to stay at second base against right-handed pitchers.

Fuld is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees. Fuld's .196 average this season likely led to his third absence in the last four games. Ben Zobrist will start in left field in his place Sunday, batting second for the Athletics.

Fuld is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees. With the A's facing left-handed C.C. Sabathia, it's unsurprising to see Fuld out of the lineup for the first time since May 20. He only has nine at-bats against lefties this season, but he did start Tuesday's game against Tigers southpaw David Price.

Fuld is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins. For a second straight game, the A's are going with Mark Canha in left field and Billy Burns in center. With Coco Crisp (elbow) nearing a return from the disabled list, Fuld may soon be in danger of losing his spot on the 25-man roster. The decision will likely come down to Burns vs. Fuld.

Fuld is not in the lineup Monday against the Twins. Fuld had another tough day at the plate Sunday as he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout to drop his average to .216, and will get his second day off in the last three games. With the promotion of Billy Burns, who will get the start in center field Monday, Fuld could see a decrease in his regular playing time.

Fuld is back in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers. Fuld will get the starting nod in left field, with Mark Canha moving to the DH spot and Billy Butler getting the day off. He typically resides in center, but manager Bob Melvin will elect to start Billy Burns there for the second straight game. Fuld, who is in the midst of a 1-for-25 slump, will look to shake that off against Yovani Gallardo and the Rangers.

Fuld is out of the lineup Saturday, Fox Sports Southwest's Anthony Andro reports. Fresh from the minor leagues, Billy Burns will get the start in center field Saturday. It's not clear how long Burns will be up for, but the A's now have a pretty crowded outfield that could start to result in more off days for Fuld.

Fuld is out of the lineup Friday against the Astros. With lefty Dallas Keuchel due up for Houston, Fuld will head to the bench as Craig Gentry takes over in center and Marcus Semien slots in atop the order. Fuld, who is batting .315/.377/.519 against right-handers so far, has logged just four at-bats against lefties. He and Gentry figure to continue in their strict center-field platoon.

Fuld is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Fuld recorded just one hit over his last four games, so he will get a well-timed night off Tuesday, particularly with the A's facing left-handed pitcher Hector Santiago on Tuesday. Craig Gentry will get the start in center field in Fuld's place.

Fuld is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals. Fuld has started 10 of the first 12 games of the year for the Athletics, but will take a seat in favor of Craig Gentry. This is a typical move by manager Bob Melvin when a lefty is on the hill, and Sunday will be no different with southpaw Danny Duffy toeing the rubber for the Royals.
