Stays hot in Monday's win
Butler went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Pirates.
Анализ
Butler extended the Athletics' lead with an RBI double off the wall in left-center field in the seventh inning, giving him his third multi-hit effort over the past four games. The 25-year-old has been much better at the plate of late, going 10-for-24 (.417) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and five runs across his past eight appearances. With Brent Rooker (knee) sidelined, there's more of an opportunity for Carlos Cortes to shift to designated hitter and Butler to play right field against right-handed pitching, as was the case Monday. Overall, Butler is hitting .193 with a .565 OPS, four homers, five doubles, 18 RBI, 22 runs and four stolen bases across 196 plate appearances this season.

Logs three hits in blowout loss
Butler went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Rockies.
Анализ
Butler batted leadoff for just the fifth time this season. He has gone 8-for-20 (.400) over his last seven games despite remaining in a part-time role. In that span, the Athletics have faced four southpaws, with Butler starting none of those contests. When more opposing right-handers come up, Butler looks to be gaining some momentum with the bat, which should allow him to challenge Carlos Cortes' starting job in right field. Butler is batting just .186 with a .550 OPS, four home runs, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored, four doubles and four stolen bases over 192 plate appearances this season.

Logs two hits off bench
Butler went 2-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.
Анализ
Substituted in for Colby Thomas in the fifth inning, Butler made the most of his opportunity by reaching base in all three plate appearances. The outfielder was caught in a rundown in the seventh inning but was ultimately bailed out by a Hunter Goodman throwing error and came in to score the go-ahead run. Butler later added an RBI single in the eighth frame to provide some insurance. It has been a disappointing season overall for the 25-year-old, who is hitting .175 with four homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs and four stolen bases across 186 plate appearances. Those struggles have notably cut into his playing time, though Brent Rooker (knee) landing on the injured list could create an opportunity for Butler to get more opportunities moving forward.

Hits go-ahead homer
Butler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Анализ
Butler put the Athletics ahead in the seventh inning with his first long ball since April 29. The outfielder has slipped into a part-time role, and he's not helping his cause in June, going 3-for-18 (.167) over eight games this month, even with the homer. Overall, he's batting .165 with a .507 OPS, four homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored, three doubles and four stolen bases through 183 plate appearances. Butler will need to show some consistency at the plate to displace Carlos Cortes from the starting job in right field versus right-handed pitchers. There was room in the lineup for both of them Wednesday since Brent Rooker sat out due to knee soreness.
