Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Wade will cede shortstop duties to the righty-hitting Nick Allen for the second game in a row with Detroit bringing another southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the bump. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 17, Wade appears to have settled in as Oakland's primary shortstop versus right-handed pitching. He's slashing .393/.393/.500 in 28 at-bats since his call-up, but Wade hasn't provided any home runs or stolen bases during that stretch.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wade laced his first three-bagger at the big-league level since 2021 in the third inning and subsequently crossed the plate with the Athletics' first run of the game on Esteury Ruiz's single. The 28-year-old has now hit safely in five of the last six games, and with Kevin Smith going in for a second opinion on the back injury that he currently has no return timetable for, Wade's roster spot appears secure for the time being.

Wade went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wade hit safely for the third time in his last four starts while producing his first multi-hit effort and RBI of the season at the big-league level. The 28-year-old has been a positive addition offensively since his June 17 call-up, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with a double, Saturday's RBI and one run. With Kevin Smith on the injured list due to a back strain that could potentially keep him out beyond 10 days, Wade, who can play second base, third base and across the outfield, is making an early case to potentially hold on to a roster spot even when he returns.

Wade went 1-for-2 with a double and a run in a loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second straight start at shortstop, Wade hit safely for the second consecutive game while collecting his first extra-base hit in 13 big-league appearances this season. The well-traveled veteran is slated to remain with the Athletics through Kevin Smith's (back) stint on the injured list, at minimum.

Wade's contract was selected by Oakland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wade is up to replace Kevin Smith, who landed on the injured list with a strained back. Wade had appeared in 10 MLB games this season, stealing four bases despite striking out in eight of his 16 plate appearances. A career .211/.290/.293 across parts of seven seasons, he's unlikely to carve out a regular role even on a team like the Athletics.

The Athletics outrighted Wade to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll remain in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment over the weekend. During his two-week stint in the big leagues, Wade contributed four stolen bases but went just 1-for-13 at the plate.

Wade was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramon Laureano (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wade, 28, was just 1-for-13 (.077) with eight strikeouts in 10 games this season with Oakland.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old drew his third start in the last five games and was able to provide some modest contributions out of the No. 9 spot in the order. Wade's speed does give him some upside, but his lack of an everyday role and the fact he's struggled offensively more often than not throughout his big-league stints over the years caps his fantasy value significantly.

Wade entered Saturday's loss to the Mets as a pinch runner in the bottom of the eighth inning and proceeded to record a steal of both second and third base.

EDGE Analysis

Wade wasted no time wreaking havoc on the bases upon entering, immediately stealing second before also swiping third after a Ramon Laureano groundout and Aledmys Diaz foul pop. The 28-year-old journeyman was ultimately stranded when Conner Capel struck out to end the frame, but his production is an extension of a stint at Triple-A Las Vegas during which he'd already recorded seven steals across his first 10 games.

Oakland selected Wade's contract Friday from Triple-A Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Wade has slashed .286/.405/.286 across 43 plate appearances in Triple-A Las Vegas this season. The 28-year-old utility man has never been much of an offensive threat in the majors, but his defensive versatility makes him a valuable bench piece for the A's. In order to make room for Wade on the roster, Nick Allen was optioned to Las Vegas, and Cal Stevenson was designated for assignment Friday.
