Piscotty is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty started five of Oakland's last six games after returning from the injured list, but he will get a breather after striking out six times in six at-bats over his last two games. Stephen Vogt will enter the lineup in Piscotty's place.

Piscotty will serve as Oakland's designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty has now picked up starts five times in six games since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. He's gone a modest 3-for-15 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in his first four starts back from the IL, so Piscotty likely doesn't have much security in a near-everyday role at this stage.

Piscotty went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a run in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty got the Athletics off to a hot start with his first-inning double, which plated Seth Brown and Ramon Laureano. The veteran outfielder was playing in just his second game since being activated from the injured list after overcoming a calf issue, and Thursday marked his first time back on the field playing defense.

Piscotty (calf), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran hit well during his rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas but couldn't do anything to help a moribund Athletics offense Tuesday. Piscotty filled the DH role in his return, but after playing the outfield in multiple games with the Aviators, he could certainly be back out in the field for the Athletics in short order as well.

Oakland activated Piscotty (calf) from the 10-day injured list, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He'll serve as the Athletics' designated hitter and No. 5 hitter in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty had been out since early May with a strained left calf, but he's ready to go after posting an .863 OPS across five rehab games. His .225/.340/.325 line prior to the injury was mediocre at best, but the Athletics don't have a lot of compelling options anywhere in their lineup, so Piscotty could have the chance to carve out a meaningful role upon his return.

Piscotty (calf) went 5-for-10 with a hit-by-pitch and two runs in games with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The recovering outfielder may well be deemed ready for activation after that encouraging sample, which constituted his third and fourth rehab games with the Aviators. Piscotty has started in right field in two of those contests and seemingly gotten through them without setbacks, so a return to the Athletics may well be imminent.

Piscotty (calf) will play in another rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday but remains without a timetable for activation, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder seemed to get through his first two rehab games without issue, filling the role of DH in the first one and playing nearly a full game in right field in the second. Manager Mark Kotsay acknowledged reports on Piscotty have been positive, but a potential activation date has yet to be announced.

Piscotty (calf) started both Tuesday's and Wednesday's games against Albuquerque for Triple-A Las Vegas and went 2-for-8 with a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty logged a full complement of five plate appearances as the designated hitter Tuesday. He then started in right field and took four more at-bats Wednesday prior to being subbed out for a defensive replacement late. The veteran outfielder appears to have gotten through both tests setback-free, although the Athletics may want to give him another game or two to corroborate his health before activation is considered.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay confirmed that Piscotty (calf) will join Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday for the start of his rehab assignment, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Piscotty hasn't played for the Athletics since May 6 due to a left calf strain, so he could stay on the rehab assignment through next weekend before making his way back from the 10-day injured list. Seth Brown and Ramon Laureano appear secure as everyday players in Oakland's outfield, but Piscotty could challenge the likes of Luis Barrera, Crisitian Pache and Chad Pinder for the other available outfield spot once he's activated.

Piscotty (calf) ran the bases at Oakland Coliseum before Friday's game and will do so again Sunday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder appeared to get through Friday's test without setbacks. If the same holds true Sunday, manager Mark Kotsay says Piscotty is projected to begin a rehab assignment at a yet-to-be-determined affiliate on Tuesday. The team has not yet decided how many minor-league games Piscotty might require before activation, but given he's been on the injured list since May 7, he figures to likely log close to a week's worth of action, at minimum, on the farm.
