Ryan Noda Stats

Oakland Athletics rookie first baseman Ryan Noda went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts out of the leadoff spot in the team's 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Noda's 16th home run of the year snapped a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning and was the difference-maker in the game. The 27-year-old has reached base safely in each of his last six games, and the long ball was his first since Sept. 11. In 25 games (23 starts) in September, he's gone just 20-for-87 (.230) with four home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI, 42 strikeouts and 14 runs scored for the A's. Noda is up to 16 round-trippers, 54 RBI, three stolen bases and 62 runs scored in his first 395 major-league at-bats in 2023 while hitting .233/.367/.415.

Oakland Athletics first baseman Ryan Noda (jaw) is expected to be out for three weeks due to a fractured jaw. The 27-year-old suffered the injury after taking a ball to the face during pregame batting practice on Tuesday. He was placed on the 10-day injured list and will return to action in mid-August. Noda is slashing .229/.375/.418 with 11 home runs, 38 RBI, 43 runs, and two stolen bases over 341 plate appearances in 2023. Seth Brown should see an uptick in at-bats with Noda sidelined. Brown is mainly an option in deep-league formats after hitting .191 (33-for-190) with nine home runs and two stolen bases over 53 games in 2023.

Oakland Athletics rookie first baseman Ryan Noda (jaw) is going on the injured list with a fractured jaw. Noda played through the injury on Tuesday and hit a home run and a double after taking a ground ball to his face in pre-game batting practice. He was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Boston Red Sox, though, and now he'll have to miss some time. If Noda requires surgery, he'll likely miss much more than 10 days, so fantasy managers need to be prepared for a potential extended absence. The 27-year-old has been useful in deep-mixed leagues in his first major-league season. Noda is hitting only .229 (63-for-275), but he has 11 home runs, a .375 on-base percentage and a league-leading 60 walks. Rookie catcher Tyler Soderstrom got the start at the cold corner on Wednesday with Noda out.
