Brown went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown took Michael Fulmer yard in the eighth inning to deliver the game-winning runs for Oakland. It was Brown's third homer of the season, but his first since April 11. He's had a disappointing start to the campaign, delivering only a .161 ISO after posting a .267 mark across 307 plate appearances in 2021.

Brown isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has gone 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over his last two games, and he'll take a seat with left-hander Joey Wentz on the mound for the Tigers. Christian Bethancourt is starting at first base and batting sixth.

Brown is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for the Tigers for Game 1, the lefty-hitting Brown will cede his spot in the lineup to the righty-hitting Christian Bethancourt, who starts behind the plate while Sean Murphy handles designated-hitter duties. Expect Smith to re-enter the starting nine for Game 2, when right-hander Alex Faedo will be on the mound for Detroit.

Brown went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Brown knocked a two-run single in the third inning and later swiped second after drawing a walk in the sixth. He was stuck in a 6-for-42 slump since his last multi-hit performance on April 19. The 29-year-old is up to 15 RBI and two steals with a .185 average through 27 games.

Brown is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old will sit for the second time in the past three games, this time with right-hander Josh Winder on the mound for Minnesota. Brown is 3-for-21 with eight strikeouts over his past seven games. Sheldon Neuse will shift to first base while Jed Lowrie serves as the designated hitter.

Brown went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in a loss to the Rays on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was one of the few Athletics hitters to make somewhat of an impact Monday, recording his first steal of the season in the process. The 29-year-old has now reached safely in five of the last six games, but he's still carrying an unsightly .188/.267/.333 slash line across 75 plate appearances.

Brown will sit Tuesday against the Giants, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's absence against southpaw Carlos Rodon means he's now been on the bench against four of the five lefties the Athletics have faced this season. Christian Bethancourt will get the start at first base.

Brown went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Rangers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's fourth-inning double plated Sean Murphy for the only run of the night for Oakland. The 29-year-old is hitting just .188, but seven of his nine hits have gone for extra bases.

Brown went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The double marks Brown's lone extra-base hit in the Athletics' last eight games, but the 29-year-old doesn't look to be at any major risk of losing out on playing time against either right- or left-handed pitching. He's started in all but two of Oakland's 12 games on the campaign.
