Athletics' Jonah Bride: Multi-hit effort in debut
Bride, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 2-for-3 with a run in a win over Atlanta on Monday.
Bride started at third base and carried over his momentum from his tenure with the Aviators, where he'd produced a blistering .308/.416/.577 slash line across 186 plate appearances. Bride limped to a .204 average and .548 OPS over his first 187 big-league plate appearances a season ago, but he's thrived offensively in his last three minor-league stints and should be given a long look on the non-contending A's.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Coming up from Triple-A
The Athletics will call up Bride from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Monday's game versus Atlanta, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
He'll join the active roster as a replacement for first baseman Jesus Aguilar, who will be designated for assignment. Bride has put together a .308/.416/.577 slash line with eight home runs in 43 games with Las Vegas this season. The 27-year-old had just a .548 OPS in 58 contests with Oakland in 2022. Bride is capable of playing first base, second base and third base and can also fill in at catcher, although he hasn't caught at all this season. He bats from the right side and could be short-side platoon mate for Ryan Noda at first base or Jace Peterson at third base.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Dispatched to minors
The Athletics optioned Bride to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
While seeing time at three infield spots (third base, second base and first base) as a rookie in 2022, Bride slashed an unremarkable .204/.301/.247 across 187 plate appearances with Oakland. Though high walk rates and low strikeout rates have been standard for Bride throughout his career, he may need to tap into more power or quality contact if he's to emerge as anything more than a depth or short-side platoon player at the big-league level. The 27-year-old will continue to hone his craft in Las Vegas but should be on the short list for a call-up whenever the Athletics might need a right-handed-hitting infield bat.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Scores twice in big win
Bride went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Mariners on Sunday.
Filling the DH role, Bride joined the Athletics' offensive explosion with his couple of trips on the basepaths. The rookie, who saw very sparse playing time throughout September, had been mired in an 0-for-17 slump that had encompassed his last 10 games prior to Sunday. Bride's season slash line sits at .206/.304/.250 across 185 plate appearances, but he has displayed some encouraging plate discipline in the form of a 10.3 percent walk rate and modest 17.3 percent strikeout rate.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Losing out on playing time
Bride is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Bride is sitting against a right-handed pitcher (Spenser Watkins) for the third time in four games and appears to have lost hold of the everyday role at second base. Tony Kemp will take over at second base in Bride's stead, opening up a spot in the corner outfield for recent Triple-A Las Vegas call-up Cody Thomas, who looks to be the main beneficiary of Bride's role being decreased.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Not in Saturday's lineup
Bride will sit Saturday against the Orioles.
Bride finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games, though that follows a stretch in which he started six out of seven contests. He hasn't hit the ball with much authority through his first 40 major-league games, slashing .231/.318/.285 with a 1.9 percent barrel rate. Tony Kemp will handle second base Saturday.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Hits bench Thursday
Bride is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.
Tony Kemp will check in at second base while Bride takes a seat after drawing starts at the position in six of the past seven contests. Since coming off the injured list July 25, Bride has posted a meager .639 OPS over 27 games, but the Athletics don't appear to have a viable threat to challenge him for an everyday role in the infield.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: On base thrice in win
Bride went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday.
The rookie made some noise out of the No. 7 spot in the order, posting his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 12 in the process. Bride has put together a serviceable stretch at the plate of late, cobbling together a .250 average, .764 OPS and 8.6 percent walk rate over his last 10 games.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Clubs first homer
Bride went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Yankees.
Bride got the Athletics on the board in the seventh inning with a solo shot, his first big-league homer. It came in his 36th game with Oakland, and it was just his fourth extra-base hit in 117 at-bats. It wasn't all positive for the infielder, as he also posted his first three-strikeout game, though facing Yankees ace Gerrit Cole didn't help his cause there. For the season, Bride is slashing .222/.308/.274 with six RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base, though he should retain fairly regular playing time for a team that's nowhere near contention.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Takes seat Thursday
Bride is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
Sheldon Neuse will pick up a start in the infield in place of Bride, who went 2-for-12 with three walks and two RBI while cracking the lineup in each of the past four games at either second base or first base. With Seth Brown seeing more time in the outfield of late with Ramon Laureano (oblique) on the injured list and with veterans Jed Lowrie, Stephen Piscotty and Elvis Andrus having recently been released, Bride should have a fairly clear path to a near-everyday role the rest of the way.

Athletics' Jonah Bride: Pair of doubles in loss
Bride went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a walk and a run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.
Bride's productive night marked the fifth time he'd hit safely in the last six games, and it featured his first two extra-base hits since he laced a double against the Royals back on June 18 for his first such knock in the majors. The rookie seems to be hitting his stride at the plate somewhat at the big-league level, as he now carries a .258 average and .343 on-base percentage over his last nine games, a span during which he's generated an acceptable 20.0 percent strikeout rate coupled with a solid 11.4 percent walk rate.
