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

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Brown will take a seat in favor of Stephen Piscotty with southpaw Blake Snell on the hill for San Diego, but both outfielders look set to see their playing time fall by the wayside against lefties and righties alike. Oakland acquired Starling Marte from Miami on Wednesday, and he's expected to occupy an everyday spot in the outfield alongside established regulars Mark Canha and Ramon Laureano.

Brown is not in the lineup Sunday at Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will head to the bench Sunday with left-hander Marco Gonzales pitching for the Mariners. Stephen Piscotty will start in right field in his place and bat ninth.

Brown will sit Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has now been on the bench for six of Oakland's last nine games. Three of his off days have come against lefties, against whom he's started just once all season, but the other three have come against righties like Saturday's starter Logan Gilbert. Mark Canha slides to right field in his absence, with Tony Kemp starting in left.

Brown isn't starting Friday's game against Seattle, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi starting for the Mariners on Friday. Stephen Piscotty will start in right field and bat eighth.

Brown is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting against the right-handed Shohei Ohtani in Monday's series opener, the lefty-hitting Brown will remain on the bench with a southpaw (Jose Suarez) on the bump for the Angels. Brown should generally see regular starts versus righties, given that his 93 wRC+ in those matchups is still far better than that of Stephen Piscotty (47 wRC+), his primary competition for reps in right field.

Brown is not in the lineup Monday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Brown started the past two games and will head to the bench after going 3-for-7 with a solo homer and a stolen base. Tony Kemp will start in left field Monday, while Mark Canha shifts to right.

Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Brown slammed a solo home run in the fifth inning off Zach Plesac to tie the game. He has struggled to get over the Mendoza Line, slashing .199/.274/.431 in 201 plate appearances. He doesn't reach base consistently on a daily basis, but he has 20 home run potential with a couple rare steals.

Brown went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder isn't known to be much of a speed threat, as this was just his second stolen base of the year and the third of his career. Brown has mainly played in a bench role, slashing only .197/.273/.416 with 10 home runs, 28 RBI and 23 runs scored through 198 plate appearances. The return of Mark Canha (hip) from the injured list is likely to reduce Brown's playing time further.

Brown isn't in the lineup Friday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Even with right-hander Eli Morgan starting for Cleveland, Brown will retreat to the bench for the Athletics' first game after the All-Star break. Stephen Piscotty will start in right field and bat eighth.

Brown is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has had two hits in only 14 at-bats against left-handed pitching this season, so he sits with southpaw Kolby Allard starting for Texas. Unless he appears as a pinch-hitter, the outfielder will take a .192 average and 10 home runs into the All-Star break. Stephen Piscotty is starting in right field and batting seventh Sunday.
