Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's 395-foot shot to right in the fourth inning plated JJ Bleday and marked the slugger's fifth time leaving the yard in the last 13 games. The 31-year-old's .891 OPS in the last 10 games is an encouraging figure and is aided by the fact Brown is striking out at a more palatable 22.9 percent clip during the sample.

Brown went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's 387-foot shot in the seventh inning with Shea Langeliers aboard accounted for the Athletics' final two runs of the night. The slugger's average continues to hover around the Mendoza Line, but he's demonstrated an undeniable uptick in production of late with a .276 average, 1.033 OPS and an encouragingly modest 18.8 percent strikeout rate over the last 10 games.

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

EDGE Analysis

With the Athletics facing a southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) for the second day in a row, the lefty-hitting Brown will check out of the lineup. Brent Rooker replaces Brown in right field and will bat third.

Brown went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning win over the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's 383-foot shot to right field in the seventh -- his third long ball in the last six games -- snapped a 3-3 tie. The 30-year-old may finally be starting to rediscover the power stroke that led to 45 homers over the last two seasons, and he's also hitting a crisp .316 (6-for-19) with a refreshingly modest 15.0 percent strikeout rate (32.7 percent season figure) during his aforementioned six-game power surge.

Brown went 3-for-4 with an RBI in a loss to the Yankees on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The struggling slugger put together a much-needed multi-hit effort while playing some small ball with three singles, and his third-inning knock brought home Ryan Noda to give the Athletics a short-lived lead. Brown's second three-hit tally of the campaign also vaulted his average back up to .203, his first time hitting at least .200 since June 17. The 30-year-old is heating up at the plate, as he's now gone 5-for-13 with two home runs and three RBI over his last four games.

Brown went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Brown put the Athletics up 2-0 in the fourth inning with his solo shot, and it stood as the difference. He's homered in his last two games, but the outfielder has gone just 9-for-51 (.176) over his last 15 contests. For the season, he's at a paltry .191/.259/.366 slash line with six homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases over 39 games.

Brown is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Brown busted out of a 1-for-18 slump with a solo homer Saturday, but he'll head to the bench Sunday with lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for the Blue Jays. Tony Kemp will move out to left field while Jace Peterson starts at second base.

Brown went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He got hold of a Jose Berrios breaking pitch in the second inning and drove it over the wall in center field, giving Brown his second homer in June and fifth of the year. It's been a tough month overall for the 30-year-old -- through his last 20 games, he's slashing just .191/.257/.324 with six runs and 10 RBI.

Brown is not in Thursday's lineup against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will retreat to the bench with lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland. Tony Kemp will man left field while batting ninth. Brown is slashing .187/.260/.319 with three home runs and a 38 percent strikeout rate in 28 games since coming off the injured list May 22.

Brown will sit Saturday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will hit the bench against lefty Christopher Sanchez, though he started against two of the prior three southpaws the Athletics faced, so he's not necessarily stuck in a platoon. He'll likely have to improve on his .206/.280/.364 line if he's to be a true everyday player, however. Brent Rooker and Ramon Laureano will handle the outfield corners Saturday.
