Seth Brown Starting In Left Field Against Mariners

Athletics outfielder Seth Brown will make the start in left field and will hit sixth on Friday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo at T-Mobile Park. Miguel Andujar, who made the start in left on Opening Day on Thursday, will retreat to the bench. Brown is expected to find himself on the A's bench more often than not in 2025, but he has hit .333 with a 1.012 OPS and a solo home run in 15 career at-bats against Castillo. The former 19th-round pick in 2015 out of Lewis-Clark State College is worthy of a bench spot for outfield in deep AL-only leagues, at best. The 32-year-old veteran lefty swinger hit .231/.283/.379 with a .662 OPS, 14 home runs and 44 RBI in his 124 games for the A's a season ago. We wouldn't recommend Brown for DFS lineups on Friday.

Seth Brown Avoids Arbitration With A's

The Athletics avoided salary arbitration with outfielder/first baseman Seth Brown on Wednesday, agreeing to terms on an undisclosed one-year contract for the 2025 campaign. Brown made $2.6 million in 2024 and provided a .231/.283/.379 slash line with a below-average .662 OPS, 14 home runs, 44 RBI, four stolen bases and 32 runs scored in 400 plate appearances and 124 games in his sixth season with the organization. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting veteran will remain with the club as they transition to playing their home games in Sacramento in 2025 and figures to play a platoon role against right-handed pitching. He actually had a lower average (.229) against lefties than righties last season but hit 13 of his 14 round-trippers against righties. Brown will mostly be an AL-only outfielder for depth given his limited upside on one of the weakest teams in baseball.

Seth Brown, Max Schuemann, Ryan Noda On The Bench

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown, infielder Max Schuemann and first baseman Ryan Noda are all out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Daz Cameron is starting in left field and is batting eighth, Nick Allen is at the hot corner and is hitting ninth, and Tyler Nevin will man first base and hit seventh against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. Allen has the best numbers in his career against Valdez, hitting .385 against him with an .852 OPS and an RBI in 13 at-bats, but none of Cameron, Allen or Nevin are particularly attractive DFS sleepers in this matchup on the road. Brown and Noda, who was recently called up from the minors, both hit from the left side, so it's no surprise why they are on the bench on Thursday against a tough southpaw.
