Athletics' JJ Bleday: Three hits in win
Bleday went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Monday's 4-0 win over the Astros.
Bleday has at least one double in five straight games, with his two-bagger Monday plating the Athletics' third run. The outfielder is 10-for-21 over those five games after opening July in a 3-for-38 rut. Overall, Bleday is at a .238/.319/.438 slash line with 12 homers, 29 doubles, four triples, 36 RBI and 44 runs scored over 100 contests.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Ends homer drought
Bleday went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double in Friday's 13-3 win over the Angels.
Bleday has five extra-base hits over his last two games, but he hadn't homered since June 22 before taking Matt Moore deep in the sixth inning. Bleday also recently endured a stretch of 20 contests without a multi-hit effort. That's taken some of the shine off a decent year for the outfielder, who is slashing .232/.314/.431 with 12 homers, 34 RBI, 42 runs scored, 25 doubles and four triples over 97 games. He's yet to successfully steal a base in 2024.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Prolific afternoon in win
Bleday went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple, a walk and four runs in an 18-3 win over the Phillies on Sunday.
While Bleday didn't get in on the fun of the Athletics' eight-homer tally, the outfielder was a direct beneficiary of a couple of those big hits. Bleday crossed the plate on both of Brent Rooker's massive home runs, as well his seventh-inning sacrifice fly. Bleday would score his game-high fourth run of the afternoon on Seth Brown's ninth-inning single, exceeding his total in that category over the previous 19 games. Bleday's trio of extra-base hits were also particularly noteworthy, as he'd been mired in a 1-for-23 skid over the previous six games and had just one hit greater than a single in the previous 16 contests.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Laces timely double Wednesday
Bleday went 1-for-5 with an RBI double in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.
Bleday led off for the 10th consecutive game but hit safely for only the third time during that span. The outfielder has just one extra-base hit, Wednesday's double, during that stretch as well, leading to an abysmal .071 average and .209 OPS across 44 plate appearances. With Esteury Ruiz (wrist) already in the midst of a rehab assignment and therefore potentially close to activation, the Bleday experiment at the top of the order isn't likely to persist much longer.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Getting breather against LHP

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Snaps brief slump Tuesday
Bleday hit out of the leadoff spot for the fourth straight game in Tuesday's win over the Angels, going 1-for-4 with an RBI single.
Bleday brought Brett Harris home with the final run of the night for Oakland in the sixth via a single, giving the former his 30th RBI of the season. Coming into the night, the talented outfielder had been mired in an 0-for-13 skid that had encompassed his previous three games, but that clearly hasn't discouraged manager Mark Kotsay from keeping Bleday atop the order for the time being.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Resting Wednesday
Bleday is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Bleday will exit the starting nine for the first time since mid-May in what amounts to little more than a well overdue off day as the Athletics wrap up their series in Anaheim with an afternoon contest. Daz Cameron will fill in for Bleday in center field.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Works out of leadoff role Monday
Bleday hit leadoff for the first time this season in a loss to the Angels on Monday, going 1-for-4.
Max Schuemann led off Saturday and Sunday against the Twins following Abraham Toro's (hamstring) placement on the injured list, but the rookie went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts in that pair of games. That led to manager Mark Kotsay shaking things up Monday, deploying Bleday in the leadoff role for the first time. While the slugging outfielder may not seem like the prototypical candidate for the job on the surface, Bleday does have a solid .335 on-base percentage, 10.7 percent walk rate and 18.4 percent strikeout rate that speak to a level of plate discipline befitting a spot atop the order.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Swats 11th long ball
Bleday went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Twins.
Bleday knotted the score with his solo blast in the bottom of the first inning, though it proved to be futile when Minnesota put up seven runs in the following frame. The homer was Bleday's 11th of the campaign, establishing a new career-best mark. The center fielder has also posted a career-high 28 RBI, 22 doubles and three triples while scoring 35 runs and slashing .256/.341/.472 through 319 plate appearances.
