Noda is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Houston. The left-handed-hitting Noda started at first base in both of the first two games of the series with righties on the mound for the Astros, but he'll take a seat as southpaw Framber Valdez goes to the hill in the finale. Tyler Nevin will play first base and bat seventh for Oakland.

Noda is 5-for-13 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, three walks and four runs over his last four games with Triple-A Las Vegas. The brief but impressive stretch is in stark contrast to Noda's first eight games following his demotion, when he posted an .083 batting average (2-for-24) without an extra-base hit. The 28-year-old, who limped to a .440 OPS during his 30 games in the majors this season, could soon earn a promotion if he stays hot.

The Athletics optioned Noda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. Noda's 0-for-3 performance during Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh extended his hitless streak to 28 at-bats across 11 games and gives him a putrid .128 batting average through 83 at-bats on the year. Abraham Toro will likely fill in as Oakland's everyday first baseman while Noda attempts to rediscover his swing in the minors.

Noda is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore. The 28-year-old sat against lefty Nestor Cortes on Thursday and is on the bench again Friday versus righty Corbin Burnes. Tyler Nevin will receive a start at first base as Noda has a .523 OPS through 83 plate appearances this season.

Noda isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees. Left-hander Nestor Cortes will start on the mound for New York, forcing the lefty-hitting Noda to start Thursday's contest in the dugout. While he sits, Abraham Toro will start at first base with Max Schuemann and Darell Hernaiz covering second and third.
