Taking seat against southpaw
Butler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Análisis
With lefty Parker Messick on the bump for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Butler will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Zack Gelof will replace Butler in center field and will bat fifth.

Blasts homer in win
Butler went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Royals.
Análisis
Butler got a day off Tuesday amid a 1-for-14 skid at the plate. The outfielder bounced back with a fourth-inning blast Wednesday, which ended up being all the offense the Athletics needed to get this win. He's still batting just .187 with a .568 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases on six attempts over 28 contests this season. Butler's struggles at the plate have kept him in a strong-side platoon role. He probably won't challenge for many at-bats against southpaws, but his playing time against right-handers appears to be safe for now.

Resting Tuesday
Butler isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
Análisis
Butler will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going just 1-for-14 at the plate with two walks and six strikeouts across his last four starts. His absence will allow Colby Thomas to pick up a start in right field while batting fifth.
