Lawrence Butler: Breaking News

Butler is sitting out of Thursday's game against the Cardinals. Butler is out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive day. Rookie Henry Bolte will start over Butler in center field after going 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in his MLB debut Wednesday. Butler's .175 average and .552 OPS through 39 games this season may start costing him playing time, especially given the Athletics' crowded outfield.

Butler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. With lefty Parker Messick on the bump for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Butler will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Zack Gelof will replace Butler in center field and will bat fifth.

Butler went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Royals. Butler got a day off Tuesday amid a 1-for-14 skid at the plate. The outfielder bounced back with a fourth-inning blast Wednesday, which ended up being all the offense the Athletics needed to get this win. He's still batting just .187 with a .568 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases on six attempts over 28 contests this season. Butler's struggles at the plate have kept him in a strong-side platoon role. He probably won't challenge for many at-bats against southpaws, but his playing time against right-handers appears to be safe for now.
