Piscotty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Piscotty will cede his spot in the Oakland outfield to Skye Bolt, who is rewarded with a second consecutive start after going 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss. Dating back to the All-Star break, Piscotty is hitting .231 with three home runs and two doubles in 12 games. While that level of production isn't anything special, it might be enough for Piscotty to hold down a near-everyday role, given the Athletics' lack of appealing alternatives.

Piscotty went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 7-3 win over the White Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Piscotty took advantage of a fielding error at first by Jose Abreu by drilling a home run to left that cashed in two baserunners. The blast on an inside sinker from Lance Lynn gives Piscotty three homers since July 24 and five total on the season. The 31-year-old designated hitter is now 8-for-23 over his last six games and has lifted his season-long average from .183 to .219.

Piscotty went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 4-2 win over the Astros on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Piscotty teamed up with Stephen Vogt to take Cristian Javier deep for back-to-back solo shots during the second inning. It was Piscotty's fourth home run of the year, and the veteran outfielder is slashing a sub-par .218/.283/.376. Although he hasn't built much momentum this year, Piscotty now has four hits over his last two games.

Piscotty went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder put some rare good wood on the ball, accumulating only his sixth and seventh extra-base hits of the campaign. Piscotty's average also jumped back over the Mendoza Line for the first time since July 9, and he's shown some signs of life at the plate recently by going 5-for-16 over his last four games.

Piscotty went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left the yard for the third time this season to close out a four-run eighth inning for the Athletics, launching a 415-foot shot to left field with Chad Pinder aboard. Piscotty's multi-hit effort was his first since June 29, as the 31-year-old has been mired in a 5-for-39 slump over the 12 games prior to Sunday.
