Athletics' Jace Peterson: Picks up fifth steal
Rotowire
Peterson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Astros.
Peterson went hitless for the fifth time in his last six games, a span in which he's gone 1-for-19, but he was able to make an impact in his one trip on base. The steal was his fifth of the season. He's hitting just .146 (6-for-41) over his last 14 contests, but the Athletics are lacking for more effective options. Peterson has a .194/.291/.285 slash line with three home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored through 165 plate appearances as Oakland's primary third baseman this year.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: Belts third homer in loss
Rotowire
Peterson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Peterson's 409-foot shot to right center in the eighth inning accounted for the Athletics' final run of the night. The veteran is still carrying a lackluster .212/.308/.327 slash line across 130 plate appearances for the season, but he's now reached safely in seven of the last eight games, a stretch during which he's hitting .333 with two home runs, four walks, four RBI and three runs over 25 plate appearances.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: Homers Wednesday
Rotowire
Peterson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 11-3 loss against the Yankees.
Peterson cut the A's deficit to 4-2 in the second inning with a solo shot off Jhony Brito, going back-to-back with Carlos Perez. It's the second home run of the season for Peterson and his first since April 3. The 33-year-old utilityman has a modest four-game hitting streak, going 5-for-11 in that span. Still, it's hard to see a path toward fantasy relevance for Peterson while playing a part-time role on a struggling Oakland team. On the season, he's slashing just .214/.305/.311 with 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases through 118 plate appearances.

Rotowire
Peterson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in the Athletics' extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.
Peterson swiped second base for the second straight night to push his season total to four.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: Swipes bag in loss
Rotowire
Peterson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Mariners.
Peterson hit a seventh-inning single and stole second, but he was stranded on base. The infielder has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-11 with two walks and two runs scored in that span. He's up to a .203/.304/.291 slash line with three steals, one home run, eight RBI and nine runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season. Peterson has seen a little more than a strong-side platoon role, but he's only a lock for the lineup against right-handed pitchers.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: Laces triple Tuesday
Rotowire
Peterson went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Peterson's first-inning three-bagger, his first of the season, plated Ryan Noda to give the Athletics an early lead. The veteran's triple represented a brief reprieve from the 1-for-17 funk he'd gone into the contest with, but he's still sitting on a .190/.288/.302 slash line across 73 plate appearances this season.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: Sits in series finale
Rotowire
Peterson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
After he was limited to a pinch-hitting role in Monday's 10-1 loss while he tended to a wrist injury, Peterson rejoined the lineup for Tuesday's 4-0 loss and went 0-for-1 with a trio of walks. He'll be back on the bench for the series finale, but the lefty-hitting Peterson's absence likely has more to do with a southpaw (Justin Steele) being on the hill for Chicago rather than any concern about the wrist.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: Draws three walks in return
Rotowire
Peterson (wrist) made his return from a one-game absence in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs and went 0-for-1 with three walks.
The disciplined night at the plate pushed Peterson's OBP over the .300 threshold for the first time all season. The veteran is still hitting just .200 over his first 59 plate appearances, but his 13.6 percent walk rate qualifies as the second-highest figure of his career.

The injury occurred when Peterson rolled his left wrist on a dive during Sunday's game against the Mets. Kotsay did say that the infielder could be available if needed off the bench, so Peterson should be considered day-to-day at this point.

Rotowire
Peterson went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.
Peterson walked in the sixth and eighth inning. He stole his second base of the year in the sixth and scored on a two-run double by Shea Langliers in the eighth. The 33-year-old has not done much to warrant fantasy consideration, as he's slashing .204/.273/.306 with a home run and seven RBI over 55 plate appearances.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: First multi-hit effort of season
Rotowire
Peterson went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Orioles on Monday.
Peterson's multi-hit effort was both the only one of the night for the Athletics and the first of the season for the veteran, who's now hit safely in three of the last four games. The 32-year-old has a ways to go toward a palatable slash line, however, as he's still carrying figures of .172/.194/.310 over his first 31 plate appearances.
