Idle for series finale
McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Analysis
McNeil will take a seat for the series finale after he had started in each of the previous three contests and served as the Athletics' table setter in the past two games. Tommy White will fill in for McNeil at first base Wednesday, while shortstop Donovan Walton receives a look out of the leadoff spot.

Records steal Monday
McNeil went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.
Analysis
McNeil has logged a steal in three straight contests, doubling his total to six for the year. The veteran infielder is currently holding down a strong-side platoon role at first base, sharing the position with Tommy White in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb), who is out indefinitely. McNeil is batting .254 with a .643 OPS, four home runs, six steals, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored and 13 doubles over 357 plate appearances this season, though it's a positive sign that he has a clear path to playing time.
