Resting up Sunday
Butler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Analisi
Butler and fellow left-handed hitters Jeff McNeil and Carlos Cortes will hit the bench for the series finale while southpaw Noah Schultz takes the hill for the White Sox. Zack Gelof will enter the starting nine in place of Butler, who started in each of the last four games while going 4-for-15 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases, two runs and one RBI.

Swipes two bags Saturday
Butler went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, two walks, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the White Sox.
Analisi
Butler tried to turn a leadoff double into a triple in the bottom of the eighth inning but was thrown out at third base. His two stolen bases were his second and third thefts of the season. It's been a slow start to the 2026 campaign for Butler, who is slashing just .197/.274/.318 with four extra-base hits -- including a pair of homers -- seven RBI, eight runs scored, three steals and a 7:18 BB:K across 73 plate appearances.

Drives homer in loss
Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Rangers.
Analisi
Butler accounted for his team's lone run with a solo homer in the eighth inning of a lopsided loss. It's been a disappointing start to the season offensively for the Athletics, including the 25-year-old outfielder, who owns a .575 OPS with three extra-base hits and six RBI through 15 appearances. Butler is looking to produce closer to his 2024 form, when he posted an .807 OPS in 125 games, rather than his .710 mark in 152 contests from 2025, and Monday's homer could serve as a potential spark to get on track.
