The Athletics placed Brown on the paternity list Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will miss the next 1-to-3 games while welcoming a new addition to the family. Armando Alvarez was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Brown on the 26-man active roster.

Brown is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will dodge a matchup with lefty Ky Bush on Monday, yielding to Tyler Nevin at first base. In August, Brown is 3-for-10 with a solo home run.

Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown went 0-for-10 over his previous three games, but he was able to snap the slump with a fourth-inning blast Friday. The 32-year-old went 14-for-46 (.304) over 16 contests in July, but it was mostly in short bursts of production followed by slumps. For the season, he's sporting a .214/.274/.380 slash line with 10 homers, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases across 80 games.

Brown is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will dodge a matchup with left-hander Tyler Anderson on Saturday, giving way to Tyler Nevin at first base. Since Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list July 11, Brown is 14-for-36 (.389) with four home runs, eight RBI and seven runs.

Brown went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Brown started the Athletics' comeback with his second-inning homer, and he added an RBI single in the sixth to put them ahead. He went 0-for-11 over four games immediately after the All-Star break, but he's bounced back by going 9-for-12 with two homers and four RBI over his last four contests. For the year, he's at a .222/.285/.384 slash line with nine homers, 23 RBI, 20 runs scored and four stolen bases through 235 plate appearances. Brown figures to remain in a strong-side platoon role at first base until Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) is able to return.

Brown isn't in Oakland's lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

With lefty Kenny Rosenberg slated to start on the bump for Los Angeles, the lefty-hitting Brown will begin Thursday's contest on the bench. Tyler Nevin will instead get the nod to start at first base and bat fifth.

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

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics' red-hot offense finally cooled Wednesday, but Brown put together his second straight multi-hit effort. The veteran had recently been mired in a brief 0-for-11 slump that encompassed four games, but his 5-for-7 showing over the last two contests has pushed his average back over the Mendoza Line (.209)

Brown went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was one of five Athletics to go yard Tuesday. His blast came in the fourth inning off Jake Bloss, and he later added a double in the seventh inning. In nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, Brown has totaled seven hits, with three of those going for home runs and two being doubles. He's slashing .197/.261/.351 with eight homers, 20 RBI, 19 runs and a 17:74 BB:K in 226 plate appearances.

Brown went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs Sunday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Brown joined the Oakland home-run brigade, clubbing two of the eight long balls launched by the A's on Sunday. It was the third start for Brown since returning from a two-week stint in the minors. Brown was batting .189 and had collected just five homers prior to being sent down but caught fire following his demotion, batting .403 with seven homers and 24 RBI during the 16-games he spent down on the farm.

Brown will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll likely be excluded from the lineup when the Athletics face southpaws, the lefty-hitting Brown seems to have taken on a regular role as the team's primary first baseman following his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He's now started in three of the Athletics' ensuing four games following his promotion and has gone 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI. Brown's run of steady playing time will likely come to an end once Tyler Soderstrom (wrist) is ready to return from the injured list.
