Matt Chapman Has Big Saturday Versus Royals
Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored in a win over the Royals on Saturday.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Saturday. Bolt took Wade Davis deep in the eighth inning for his first career homer.

Elvis Andrus Delivers Walk-Off Hit Over Royals
Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 2-for-4 with the game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the ninth Friday against the Royals. The hit had to feel good for the veteran shortstop who has struggled in his first year in the Bay Area. Andrus is batting just .213 and is not getting on-base nor hitting […]
Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 12
We are now two full months into the 2021 season. Most MLB teams have played at least 60 games, or the equivalent to last year’s shortened season.

Seth Brown Clubs Ninth Homer Of Season

Matt Chapman Remains Ice-Cold At The Dish
Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Royals on Thursday. Kansas City starter Mike Minor was mowing A's down in this one, but it could've been any pitcher on the mound the way Chapman has been hitting. The former All-Star has just two hits in his […]
Ramon Laureano Took Batting Practice Thursday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) was able to take batting practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It sounds like Laureano is making good progress from his right hip strain. He has been sidelined since June 1, but could return to the big league roster shortly. The young outfielder claims he […]
