Nevin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Astros. Nevin gave the A's some life in the ninth inning with an opposite-field blast off Josh Hader, cutting Houston's lead to 6-3. It's Nevin's first home run since July 6 -- he'd gone just 9-for-62 (.145) with a .419 OPS in 26 games coming into Thursday. The 27-year-old Nevin is slashing .196/.287/.329 through 251 plate appearances this season with seven homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored while being limited to the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

Nevin started at first base in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday and went 0-for-3. Nevin was in the starting lineup for the first time in a week and only the ninth time in August. The journeyman remained in a funk at the plate with his hitless effort, as he's now 2-for-17 in his last six appearances overall. Nevin offers plenty of defensive versatility with his ability to play both the corner infield and outfield spots, but he figures to continue seeing only intermittent playing time down the stretch.

Nevin went 2-for-4 with an RBI groundout, a double and two walks in a win over the Mets on Thursday. Nevin started on consecutive days for the first time since July 27-28 and made good use of the opportunity. The veteran's sixth-inning groundout scored JJ Bleday to knot the score at 6-6, while the double was his first extra-base hit since July 28. Nevin has seen time at corner infield and corner outfield in addition to designated hitter this season, and his versatility should continue affording him occasional playing time despite his .210 batting average and .658 OPS across 217 plate appearances.

Nevin (migraine) will start at first base and bat eighth Saturday versus the Blue Jays. Migraines have prevented Nevin from playing in Oakland's last two games, but he seems to be feeling better ahead of Saturday's contest. The 27-year-old has slashed .188/.333/.313 across 21 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Nevin started at third base in a loss to the Angels on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run. Nevin recorded a second consecutive start for the first time since June 25-26 and was in the opening lineup for the third game in the last four overall. The utility player laced his second double in that span and subsequently scored the first run of the day for the Athletics on Miguel Andujar's fielder's choice groundout in the third inning. Nevin has seen action at five different positions including designated hitter, and while he's offered some decent pop by belting 13 of his 35 hits for extra bases, he carries a lackluster .205/.299/.351 slash line across 197 plate appearances overall.
