The Oakland Athletics reinstated outfielder Seth Brown (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned infielder Jordan Diaz to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Brown is starting in right field and is hitting cleanup in his first game back on Monday night against right-hander Luis Castillo and the Seattle Mariners. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter has played in only eight games this year due to his left-oblique strain, but he's now back in the outfield picture for ...

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown (oblique) is slated to begin a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Las Vegas. Brown had been sidelined since April 9 due to a Grade 2 oblique strain. The 30-year-old slashed .200/.250/.367 with a home run, two RBI, two runs, and a stolen base across eight games before landing on the injured list. He is expected to play around three to five games in Triple-A before being activated from the injured list. Brown will serve as the team's primary left ...

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. The left-handed slugger suffered a Grade 2 oblique strain on a check swing during Saturday's game. The organization expects Brown to be sidelined roughly 4-to-6 weeks. It sounds like the best case is that Brown returns in mid-May, but it'll likely be closer to the end of the month. In a corresponding move, the A's recalled infielder Kevin Smith from Triple-A. The expectation is that Conner Capel...

The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Seth Brown (oblique) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 9) on Monday and recalled infielder Kevin Smith from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Brown injured his oblique over the weekend and will now miss at least a bit of time. On top of the injury, the 30-year-old left-handed hitter had gone only 6-for-30 (.200) with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in his first eight games of the season. With ...

After hitting 20 homers in 111 games for Oakland in 2021, Seth Brown found himself a regular starter for the A's in 2022 and made the most of it. In 150 games, Brown hit .230/.305/.444 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 55 runs and 11 steals. The stolen bases were a nice surprise after Brown only tallied five in his previous 144 games but he did rank in the 63rd percentile for sprint speed (27.9 ft/s) and his 9.2% BB% (63rd percentile) affords him more opportunities than you might expect from a .230 ...

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown is in the team's starting lineup for a Wednesday matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Corey Kluber. Brown is batting .176 with a .260 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a stolen base in 77 plate appearances so far. The 29-year-old is hitting fifth against Kluber and the Rays and starting at first base. Fantasy managers looking for streaming help in the outfield or at first base are probably better off looking elsewhere.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a loss to the Mariners on Monday. Brown got the scoring started early, taking Seattle hurler Chris Flexen deep in the top of the first to give the visitors an early lead. Brown was starting in place of Starling Marte (lat) and could see more playing time moving forward if Marte misses time. He's not much of a fantasy asset, however, as Brown is batting just .209 thanks to an unsightly 29.4% strikeout rate. Throw in...

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown is playing right field and batting sixth in Tuesday's game against Jackson Kowar and the Kansas City Royals. This will be his first start since August 22. He was out for nearly three weeks after testing positive for COVID-19 on August 27. After a rehab assignment, he was reinstated on Saturday and he went on to pinch hit in both Saturday's game and Sunday's game, going 1-for-2 with a single. Brown has shown some power potential this year with 16 home ...

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown (COVID-19) will play in his first rehab game Thursday with Low-A Stockton, according to Martin Gallegos. Brown was placed on the injured list on August 27 after testing positive for the COVID-19 virus. Brown's putting up mixed numbers at the plate this season, slashing .203/.270/.457 with 16 HRs over 94 games. He's probably a couple of rehab games away from returning to the A's but should continue seeing the bulk of playing time in right field against ...

Oakland Athletics first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. He was placed on the COVID-related injured list and will be sidelined a minimum of 10 days. The Athletics recalled pitcher Daulton Jefferies to fill Brown's roster spot. Outfielders Tony Kemp and Chad Pinder should see an increase in playing time while Brown is sidelined. The 29-year-old Brown has been a nice surprise for the Athletics this year. He had only appeared in 33 MLB games prior to the ...
