EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Logan Allen will start on the mound for the Guardians, meaning the left-handed bat of Brown will remain in the dugout to begin the game. Brent Rooker will man left field in his place, moving Abraham Toro into the DH spot while Max Schuemann draws a start at the hot corner.

Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis

Brown entered Saturday's loss to the Nationals as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning and went 1-for-1 with a stolen base.
EDGE Analysis
Brown originally had the night off with lefty MacKenzie Gore on the hill for the Nationals to open the game, but the slugger was called on in the eighth to try to ignite a rally from a one-run deficit. Brown promptly singled and then stole second on a called third strike to Shea Langeliers for the former's first swipe of the campaign. The 31-year-old is scuffling at the plate overall while generating a .205 average and .581 OPS through his first 49 plate appearances, but he's now an encouraging 4-for-8 with a double and a solo home run over his last three games.

Brown went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the Tigers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown put the final run of the afternoon on the board for the Athletics with his ninth-inning single, which plated Zack Gelof. The lefty swinging slugger nearly matched his season-long hit total coming in with his first multi-hit effort of the campaign, as Brown had been mired in a 3-for-27 slump to start 2024 prior to Sunday's success. The 31-year-old, who laced 122 extra-base hits over the last three seasons, has yet to produce anything more impactful than a single over his first 10 games.

Brown (back) started in right field in a Cactus League loss to the Brewers on Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a run.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's near two-week absence due to lower-back tightness did nothing to cool off his bat. The power-hitting outfielder's multi-hit effort was his third straight in Cactus League play and pushed his spring average to an impressive .444 across 19 plate appearances.
