Seth Brown Reinstated From Paternity List
4 months agoThe Oakland Athletics reinstated first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown from the paternity list on Saturday and optioned infielder Armando Alvarez to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Brown isn't in the team's starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays, but he should occasionally slot into the lineup at first base or in right field when the team faces right-handed pitching. On a bad A's team, the 32-year-old veteran left-handed hitter really only belongs on rosters as a depth piece in AL-only leagues. He's not an everyday player and is batting just .213/.270/.371 with a below-average .641 OPS, 10 home runs, 24 RBI and four stolen bases in 240 at-bats this year. He's been better since the All-Star break, though, going 12-for-47 (.255) with three homers, a double and five RBI in 16 games (13 starts).
