7 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, with both hits for the left-handed hitter coming against Cody Bradford, the left-handed starter for the Rangers. Butler has been on a tear lately, now with a 10-game hit streak and 10 consecutive games in which he's scored at least one run. Over this stretch, the 24-year-old is 16-for-41 (.390) with three doubles, seven home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored, two stolen bases, and a 2:2 BB:K. For the season, the former sixth-round draft pick owns a .257-20-53-52-12 line with a .350 wOBA and a 133 wRC+ in 102 games. He'll look to finish the season strong and has certainly increased his fantasy draft stock for next season.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

1 month agoAthletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is engaged in talks with the team about a long-term contract extension after his breakout performance in 2024, according to people briefed on the discussions who weren't authorized to speak publicly. The 24-year-old power and speed threat hit .262/.317/.490 with an .807 OPS, 22 home runs, 57 RBI, 18 stolen bases and 63 runs scored in 125 games in his first full season in the big leagues. He hit .219 with 20 home runs in 84 games in the second half after being called up from the minors in June. The Athletic's Evan Drellich thinks the five-year, $25 million extension that outfielder Myles Straw got from his former team, the Guardians, represents a low-end comparison for Butler's potential deal. Butler's ceiling for an extension could be the eight-year, $100 million deal Atlanta gave Ronald Acuna Jr. A seven-year, $55 million deal could be a nice starting point.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler (illness) is back in right field and is batting leadoff for the A's on Wednesday against the division-rival Houston Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown at Minute Maid Park. Butler was under the weather on Monday but is feeling better on Tuesday and will return atop Oakland's batting order. The 24-year-old former sixth-round selection in 2018 is having a breakout campaign in just his second year in the majors and in his first full season in the big leagues. He comes into Wednesday's game slashing .270/.324/.523 with an .847 OPS, 21 home runs, 54 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 110 games played. Butler's second half has been more impressive, as he's hit .328/.368/.638 with a 1.006 OPS, 12 homers, 29 RBI and eight stolen bases in 46 games. Get him back into your lineups on Wednesday now that he's feeling better.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

7 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. It sounds like Butler caught an illness that is going around the clubhouse. A's manager Mark Kotsay said he's hopeful that Butler can return on Wednesday. In the meantime, Seth Brown will cover right field and bat fifth versus right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. Brown could be a low-risk DFS option with a .248 batting average and 14 home runs on the season. The left-handed slugger could have some success against Arrighetti on Tuesday.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

7 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler went off on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with three home runs and four RBI. Butler hit his 17th homer in the second inning, his 18th in the fourth, and his 19th in the ninth, which also happened to be a game-tying homer. The 24-year-old now has five homers in his past three games, a stretch that has his fantasy owners breathing a sigh of relief after a slump in early August. Although there may be some ups and downs, Butler should be a solid fantasy asset down the stretch and should be owned in all formats.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
