Player Outlook
Seth Brown launched a career-high 25 home runs in 2022 and also surprised with a double-digit stolen base total, but he predictably regressed across the board last season as the Athletics stumbled to a record of 50-112. The 31-year-old has a decent amount of power, enough to ensure him a prominent lineup spot on a perpetually-rebuilding A's team, but he enters the 2024 campaign with a rough .227 career batting average and .295 career on-base percentage in a sample size of nearly 1,400 major-league plate appearances. Brown is a drain in too many fantasy categories to warrant draft-day consideration in any standard mixed league, though he could maybe bounce back into 20-homer territory and offer AL-only appeal.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Sitting against lefty

    Brown is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. The Athletics will send all three of their lefty-hitting outfielders to the bench for the series opener with southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees. Brown will take a seat along with JJ Bleday and Lawrence Butler while Max Schuemann, Esteury Ruiz and Tyler Nevin form the Oakland outfield from left to right.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Sitting against lefty

    Brown isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game versus Cleveland. 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.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Taking seat Wednesday

    Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. The Athletics will go with an all-righty-hitting outfield against left-hander Steven Matz, so Brown will take a seat for the series finale. Brown has hit just .176/.246/.281 against lefties since the start of the 2022 season.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Productive in pinch-hit capacity

    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. 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.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Provides only offense in win

    Brown went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 1-0 victory against Texas on Thursday. Brown produced the only two extra-base hits in the pitching-dominant matchup, and his second-inning solo blast ended up accounting for the lone run in the contest. The long ball was the first of the season for the veteran outfielder, who is still sporting a meager .175/.250/.275 slash line on the campaign. Brown may be getting warm, however, as both of his multi-hit games have come over his past four contests, and he's gone 4-for-13 with a pair of RBI over that span.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Gets day off with lefty on mound

    Brown is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. With southpaw Cody Bradford on the mound for Texas, the lefty-hitting Brown will retreat to the bench. Tyler Nevin will fill in for Brown in left field.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: First multi-hit effort of season

    Brown went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the Tigers on Sunday. 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.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Out of Friday's lineup

    Brown is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Detroit. The right-handed hitting Tyler Nevin will draw the start in left field versus lefty Tarik Skubal. Brown has started all six games against righties this season but has been on the bench both times the Athletics have gone up against a left-hander.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Pair of hits in return

    Brown (back) started in right field in a Cactus League loss to the Brewers on Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a run. 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.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Back in lineup

    Brown (back) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Brewers. Brown hasn't played since March 3 due to lower-back tightness, but the issue has seemingly subsided and he's been cleared to return to the field. Brown was on a tear at the plate before getting hurt, going 6-for-15 with a homer and five RBI across six games.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Scratched with back tightness

    Brown was scratched from the lineup ahead of Oakland's spring training game Thursday against Cleveland due to lower-back tightness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Brown has had an impressive spring thus far, going 6-for-15 with a home run and five RBI across six games. The A's didn't specify the severity of Brown's injury, but the 31-year-old outfielder will presumably sit out a few games as he recovers.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Continues hot hitting Sunday

    Brown went 3-for-3 with an RBI single and a two-run home run in a Cactus League win over the Rangers on Sunday, pushing his spring average to .400. The slugging outfielder pushed his weekend RBI total to five with his trio of hits Sunday. Brown had opened spring in a 1-for-9 funk prior to his current surge, and this coming season, he'll be looking to bounce back to the 20-homer threshold he'd hit in both 2021 and 2022 before slugging 14 round trippers in a 112-game campaign in 2023.

  • Athletics' Seth Brown: Avoids arbitration

    Brown agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Athletics on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. This makes Brown the second-highest paid position player on Oakland's roster, behind Aledmys Diaz. The former was a replacement-level player (0.0 fWAR) in 112 games last season, slashing .222/.286/.405 with 14 home runs.

    Brown was removed from the Athletics' game against Minnesota on Thursday due to left oblique soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. The Athletics haven't yet indicated how severe Brown's injury is, but with just three games left in the season, the 31-year-old will need to make a quick recovery in order to play again in 2023. Brown had gone 4-for-15 with a homer and three RBI across his last five games entering Thursday.
