Lawrence Butler Hits Solo Home Run on Tuesday

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler was the lone bright spot for his team in an 11-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Tuesday. Butler went 3-for-3 with a solo homer in the lopsided loss while providing the only offense for the Athletics with his solo homer off Houston starter Hunter Brown in the fourth inning. It was a bomb as the shot traveled 418 feet with an exit velocity of 109.9 MPH. Butler is putting together a solid season, hitting .252 with eight homers, 26 runs, 23 RBI, and eight stolen bases across 206 at-bats. He fell just two steals shy of posting a 20/20 season in 2024 and remains a quality power/speed threat in all fantasy formats.

Lawrence Butler Moves Into Leadoff Spot

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler will head into the leadoff spot in the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. Butler is slashing .348/.348/.739 with one home run and four RBI over the last week. That being said, the A's will ride the hot hand and move Butler into the leadoff spot for this game. He won't get an easy challenge against right-hander Hunter Brown who is sporting a 2.04 ERA with 71 strikeouts heading into this contest. Despite that, fantasy managers should make sure to get Butler into their lineups on Tuesday.

Lawrence Butler Taking the Day Off Against Southpaw

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is retreating to the bench for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels in Sacramento. Brent Rooker is in right field and batting third, Miguel Andujar is the designated hitter and batting cleanup, and infielder Max Scheumann moves up into the leadoff spot against Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson. It's a good time for Butler to take his first day off since May 11, as he's gone 8-for-36 (.222) with a homer, five doubles, seven RBI, two steals, four runs, three walks and eight strikeouts in his last nine games. The 24-year-old has hit .194 (14-for-72) in 17 games so far in May with four walks and 21 strikeouts. Although Schuemann has gone hitless in four career at-bats against Anderson, he'll have added sleeper appeal out of the leadoff spot in DFS. He has just one homer but is batting .289 (13-for-45) on the year.
