Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt (knee) suffered a right knee contusion after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning on Thursday against the New York Yankees, according to manager Mark Kotsay. Bolt said X-rays came back negative, but he was still walking gingerly after the game. Reliever Joel Payamps (calf) suffered a left calf contusion. Bolt was 0-for-2 with a run scored in the game, while Payamps had to be helped off the field after being hit by a comebacker. It was only his second appearance for the A's after being claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Royals last week. Payamps' injury appears more serious than Bolt's, but fantasy managers should consider them both day-to-day for now.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt (knee) went 1-for-3 with a strikeout while playing right field in Monday's 3-0 loss to the visiting Miami Marlins. Bolt was scratched from the lineup on Saturday with knee soreness, but he came in as a defensive replacement on Saturday and Sunday. The 28-year-old hasn't been much of a fantasy option for the last-place A's, as he's slashing only .208/.266/.347 with four home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and five stolen bases in 109 plate appearances over 40 games played in 2022.
Skye Bolt Lands On Injured List With Oblique Strain
The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Skye Bolt (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to a right oblique strain. Left-handed pitcher Adam Kolarek was called up from Triple-A to take his roster spot. The 28-year-old Bolt put together some impressive minor league numbers at Triple-A last year, slashing .387/.492/.650 with nine home runs and 41 runs scored over 51 games. However, he's struggled in his brief exposure to the majors. Over 39 career MLB games, he's hit just .090/.116/.164.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Bolt was starting in place of Mark Canha (rest) and is not getting enough regular playing time to justify a roster spot in fantasy. Bolt, Seth Brown, and Chad Pinder have been rotating in left field and Stephen Piscotty (wrist) is on his way back from injury, as well. Bolt is just 4-for-24 this season with six strikeouts against zero walks. He's a non-factor for fantasy purposes.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Saturday. Bolt took Wade Davis deep in the eighth inning for his first career homer. It was an exciting afternoon for the 27-year-old rookie, but he's not someone fantasy managers need to prioritize. He'll occupy the fourth-outfielder role in Oakland while Ramon Laureano (hip) remains on the injured list.
The Oakland Athletics will call up outfielder Skye Bolt, the team's No. 19 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. The switch-hitting outfielder was hitting .325/.400/.675 with six home runs and 27 RBI for Triple-A Las Vegas. It's unclear how long he'll be up and how much playing time he'll receive, but the 25-year-old could see time in the outfield at the expense of Robbie Grossman and Chad Pinder. Bolt finished the year strong in the minors in 2018 and can hit for average and power from both sides of the plate. He finished a homer and a steal shy of a 20-20 season last year. He's worth considering in deep mixed and AL-only leagues if he plays enough.
Oakland Athletics outfielders Skye Bolt and Dustin Fowler are potential options to be summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas if the team is forced to place utility man Mark Canha (wrist) on the 10-day injured list to let his injury settle down. Bolt is hitting .338 with four home runs at Vegas, while the left-handed hitting Fowler had a nice spring and he played 69 games with the big club last season. If you normally rely upon Canha in deeper AL-only fantasy leagues this might be of particular interest to you. Bolt or Fowler could be adequate replacements.
