Seth Brown News
Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two strikeouts in the team's 7-1 loss to the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. The left-handed-hitting Brown is only hitting .215 (62-for-289) on the season with 13 home runs, 45 RBI and 29 runs scored in 92 games (319 plate appearances) in his fifth season in Oakland, but he's been heating up at the plate of late. Since Aug. 28, the 31-year-old outfielder has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with two home runs, three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored in seven games played (six starts). Brown's two-hit performance on Tuesday was his first multi-hit game since Aug. 18.
Oakland Athletics first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown is absent from Tuesday's lineup for the matchup against left-hander Angel Zerpa and the Kansas City Royals. The slugger has struggled this season to a .219/.285/.406 slash line with 11 bombs, 23 runs, 42 RBI, and a pair of steals over 79 games. Brown's even worse against lefties and owns just a .285 OPS off of southpaws this year, so it makes sense to give him the day off. Instead, Aledmys Diaz will take his spot in the outfield and bat fifth. The 33-year-old hasn't done much with the bat, as he's hitting .226 with just four homers across 87 games and is irrelevant in all fantasy formats.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown is on the bench to start Tuesday's matchup with left-hander Joe Jacques and the Boston Red Sox. The slugger struggles against southpaws (career .460 OPS), so it's a good time to give him a break. When Brown has played this season, he's struggled to the tune of a .194 average with nine homers and two steals over 52 contests. Tony Kemp will get a shot to start, playing left field and batting leadoff. The 31-year-old doesn't offer much with the bat, slashing .203/.287/.289 with three home runs, but he has swiped 10 bags across 75 games. Kemp also owns a .273 average this season off of lefties, so he's a decent waiver-wire play in deep leagues.

After hitting 20 homers in 111 games for Oakland in 2021, Seth Brown found himself a regular starter for the A's in 2022 and made the most of it. In 150 games, Brown hit .230/.305/.444 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 55 runs and 11 steals. The stolen bases were a nice surprise after Brown only tallied five in his previous 144 games but he did rank in the 63rd percentile for sprint speed (27.9 ft/s) and his 9.2% BB% (63rd percentile) affords him more opportunities than you might expect from a .230 hitter. After only being caught stealing twice last year, there's no reason Brown couldn't reach double-digit steals again in 2023. And his power certainly seems legit, with a 13.0% Barrel% (90th percentile), .454 xSLG (81st percentile) and 24.4 xHR last year all making a repeat look feasible. The downside is Brown plays for the A's so RBI and runs will be suppressed and a trade to a better team might lead to less playing time given his struggles against left-handed pitching (LHP). Last year, Brown hit .174/.232/.315 against LHP, with just three of his homers coming against them. Brown's ADP of ~204 certainly leaves room to provide value as a solid power with some speed especially in leagues using OBP instead of AVG.
