Brown went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Astros on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown rapped out a single for the third time in the last four games, while the steal was his second of the season. The 31-year-old's power drought is increasingly concerning, however, considering he has just six extra-base hits in 113 plate appearances after averaging one every 10.2 trips to the batter's box over the previous three seasons.

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

EDGE Analysis

Brown will sit for a second straight game despite Seattle sending right-hander Luis Castillo to the hill for Sunday's series finale. Since May 1, Brown has gone 2-for-18 with one home run and three RBI. Brent Rooker will start in left field Sunday, while J.D. Davis serves as the designated hitter.

EDGE Analysis

Even with right-hander Michael Lorenzen taking the hill for Texas, the lefty-hitting Brown finds himself on the bench for the first game of the day. Brown has occupied a strong-side platoon role in the outfield this season, but his hold on a regular gig could be loosening while he's produced a career-worst .548 OPS while striking out 32 times in 103 plate appearances (31.1 percent) so far on the campaign. Esteury Ruiz will fill in for Brown in left field.

Brown went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's eighth-inning shot with JJ Bleday and Brent Rooker aboard got the Athletics out of a double-digit deficit, but it would also be the final runs of the day for Oakland. The 31-year-old snapped a six-game home-run drought with the timely blast, as well as the 0-for-11 slump he'd been mired in during that stretch. Brown is still limping along with a .179/.243/.305 slash line, and a strikeout rate that's ballooned to 31.1 percent this season is playing a prominent role in the struggles.
