Brown is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston. Southpaw Framber Valdez is on the mound for the Astros, so the lefty-batting Brown will begin the game on the bench. Daz Cameron will start in left field and bat eighth for the Athletics.

Brown went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers. Brown didn't start Friday, but he was one of four Athletics with multiple hits in the marathon game. The 32-year-old saved the day in the 11th inning with a game-tying homer, then came up big again with the walk-off hit, a single, to plate JJ Bleday in the 13th. Brown has seven multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, going 16-for-35 (.457) with four homers and 14 RBI in that span. The surge has him up to a .251/.310/.421 slash line with 14 homers, 44 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases through 106 contests overall.

Brown is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers. He's been swinging a hot bat over the past couple weeks, slashing .391/.442/.630 with three homers and 12 RBI in his last 13 games, but Brown remains a strict platoon player for manager Mark Kotsay. In fact, Brown has made just a single start against a lefty this season. Tarik Skubal starts for Detroit in the series opener.

Brown went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners. Brown got the A's back level with a solo home run in the fourth and then supplied a walk-off single in the ninth off Trent Thornton. Over his last six starts, Brown has turned in five multi-hit games while racking up 10 RBI over that span. Since being brought back up to the majors July 11, he's slashing .320/.381/.557 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 15 runs and a 10:27 BB:K in 136 plate appearances.

Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Brown provided one of four multi-hit efforts on the afternoon for the Athletics, and his first triple of 2024 drove home Shea Langeliers in the 10th inning to snap a 2-2 tie. Brown now has multi-hit tallies in four consecutive starts, with Sunday's three-bagger his third extra-base hit in that stretch. His hot bat dates further back, however -- factoring in Sunday's production, the veteran outfielder boasts a .375 average across his last nine games.
