EDGE Analysis

Brown will be on the bench with lefty Angel Zerpa on the mound for the Royals. Aledmys Diaz will take his spot in left field and bat fifth.

Brown will sit Saturday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will sit with ex-Oakland lefty Cole Irvin on the mound for Baltimore. Brown has made the occasional start against a southpaw this season but has now sat against each of the last six lefties the Athletics have faced. His .223/.291/.417 slash line on the season doesn't make a strong case for an expanded role over the final six weeks.

Brown went 2-for-5 with a run-scoring single and an RBI double in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown accounted for half of Oakland's run production on the night with his timely knocks in the first and fifth innings. The 31-year-old is building some momentum at the plate in the latter portion of August, posting a trio of multi-hit efforts in the last five games and knocking in nine runs in the process.

Brown went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and a two-run home run in a loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was in clutch-hitting mode during the narrow loss, capping off the Athletics' three-run first with a 408-foot shot to center with Brent Rooker aboard. The slugger then struck again with some small ball in the seventh, lacing a single to center that plated Tyler Soderstrom and JJ Bleday to extend the Athletics' lead to 7-1 at the time. Brown's multi-hit effort was his third in the last 10 games, a stretch during which he's carrying a .313/.353/.563 slash line and 17.6 percent strikeout rate across 34 plate appearances.

Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will hit the bench for the series finale as the Athletics roll out a right-handed-heavy lineup against Texas southpaw Jordan Montgomery. With Brown sitting out, Aledmys Diaz will pick up the start at first base and bat sixth.

Brown went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI triple and a run in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's first-inning triple brought home Zack Gelof to erase an early 1-0 deficit, and the slugger followed with his 20th and 21st extra-base hits of the season in the form of his pair of two-baggers. Brown's bat began to heat up just before the calendar flipped to August and has remained productive in the new month, as he's now boasting a .450 average and 1.178 OPS across the 23 plate appearances he's logged in his last seven games.

Brown went 2-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown authored the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics and his second in the last four games overall. While the slugger's .211/.291/.402 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement, Brown has actually been on an upswing at the plate of late -- he's carrying a .321 average and .930 OPS over his last 10 games, figures partly constituted by four extra-base hits and a robust 11.8 percent walk rate.

Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Brown will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Rockies bring another southpaw in Ty Blach to the hill. During his lone start at Coors Field in Saturday's 11-3 win, Brown went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run. He looks poised to fill the strong side of a platoon at first base until Ryan Noda (jaw) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

EDGE Analysis

Brown opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, then added an RBI single in the seventh for the Athletics' last run. He's gone a strong 7-for-21 (.333) with four extra-base hits over his last seven contests. The 31-year-old is up to a .208/.288/.406 slash line with 10 home runs, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases over 60 games. He continues to see steady playing time at first base with Ryan Noda (jaw) out.
