Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Not starting Thursday
Butler is sitting out of Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Butler is out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive day. Rookie Henry Bolte will start over Butler in center field after going 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in his MLB debut Wednesday. Butler's .175 average and .552 OPS through 39 games this season may start costing him playing time, especially given the Athletics' crowded outfield.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Blasts homer in win
Butler went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Royals.
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.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Resting Tuesday
Butler isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
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.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Taking seat Sunday
Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Cortes and fellow left-handed hitters Jeff McNeil and Lawrence Butler will hit the bench for the series finale while southpaw Noah Schultz takes the hill for the White Sox. Since Brent Rooker (oblique) landed on the injured list April 10, Cortes has gained a foothold in the Athletics' regular lineup versus right-handed pitching while shuffling between the corner-outfield spots and designated hitter.

Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Not starting Saturday
Clarke is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the White Sox on Saturday.
Clarke is out of the A's starting lineup for the second time in three games as the team deploys Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler and Carlos Cortes in the outfield from left to right against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. In his last 15 games, Clarke has gone 7-for-38 (.184) with one steal, five RBI and a 2:15 K:BB.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: 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.
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.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Resting up Sunday
Butler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
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.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Drives homer in loss
Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Rangers.
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.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Swats first homer of season
Butler went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Astros.
Butler had an RBI single in the third inning before taking Houston reliever Roddery Munoz deep in the fourth. This was Butler's first big game of the season -- he had gone just 1-for-12 over his first five contests. The outfielder is now hitting .235 with three strikeouts over 18 plate appearances. Butler had a 20-20 season (21 long balls, 22 stolen bases) in 152 games last year, so he'll offer both power and speed from the middle of the order against right-handed pitchers once he gets his hitting on track.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Sitting against left-hander
Butler is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Atlanta.
Atlanta is sending left-hander Chris Sale to the mound, and this marks the second time in three games versus southpaws this season that the lefty-swinging Butler is out of the lineup. Brent Rooker is getting a start in right field and Shea Langeliers will be the designated hitter for the Athletics.
