Piscotty is not in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty started the first game in right field and went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI. Tony Kemp will enter the lineup and take over in left field to replace Piscotty's spot in the order.

Piscotty (forearm) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a 4-3 victory Sunday in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty missed the previous four games with a bruised left forearm and returned Sunday for the final game before the Midsummer Classic. The 31-year-old has battled injuries throughout the first half of the season and has never really found his way at the plate, striking out in 30 of his 90 plate appearances and posting a .188/.267/.288 with two homers. Things have been even worse of late as he's compiled a .150/.186/.250 with 18 punchouts in his last 43 plate appearances over 12 appearances.

Piscotty (forearm) will serve as the Athletics' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty hadn't appeared in any of Oakland's last four games while managing a bruised left forearm, but he's good to go as the Athletics wrap up their series (and first-half schedule) with a matchup with Houston. Since coming off the injured list in late June, Piscotty has stepped back into a near-everyday role and is hitting .167 with a home run and four RBI in 11 games.

PIscotty (forearm) remains out Saturday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty exited Monday's game against the Rangers after getting hit by a pitch in his left forearm and has yet to return to action. At this point, the Athletics may elect to keep him out through the All-Star break in order to give him a full nine days to heal, though the team has yet to indicate that he's been ruled out for Sunday's series finale. Sheldon Neuse will be the designated hitter Saturday.

Piscotty (forearm) remains on the bench Friday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty hasn't played since being hit by a pitch in his left forearm Monday against the Rangers. He's yet to be diagnosed with anything worse than a bruise but will miss his third straight game nonetheless, with Chad Pinder serving as the designated hitter.

Piscotty (forearm) isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty was removed from Monday's loss due to a bruised left forearm and will remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Stephen Vogt will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Piscotty (forearm) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty will get at least one game off after he exited late in Monday's 10-8 loss with a bruised left forearm. Sheldon Neuse will fill in for Piscotty as Oakland's designated hitter.

Piscotty has been diagnosed with a bruised left forearm, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty was forced from Monday night's contest in the eighth inning after being struck by a pitch, but further tests revealed nothing more than a contusion. Manager Mark Kotsay officially declared Piscotty as day-to-day moving forward.

Piscotty left Monday's game against the Rangers after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty left the contest with little protest, as he was in obvious pain after getting drilled. He's likely headed for X-rays to determine the severity of the injury.

Piscotty went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty gave the Athletics a little insurance with his fifth-inning blast after they'd built up a lead with small ball in the first and third frames. The 31-year-old has gone 4-for-21 (.190) in six games since he returned from a calf strain. The outfielder has a .213/.304/.344 slash line with two homers, six RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases through 69 plate appearances this year, and he should continue to play regularly as the designated hitter with occasional starts in right field.
