Jul 3 Sweeney is hitting (.385 (15-for-39) since coming off the DL in mid June.

Recommendation: He has just one home run and six RBI in that span thanks to the collective struggles of the A's offense, but he's been a continued presence in the middle of the A's order. His pedestrian numbers prior to his hot streak (.245/.312/.318) likely have him on a few waiver wires, so take a look if you need an outfielder.

Jul 2 OF Ryan Sweeney has a five-game hitting streak, and in his 12 games since coming off the DL, the second-year player is batting .385. Sweeney missed 15 days in June with a sprained knee after running into the wall in Chicago while making a catch. Yahoo! Sports


Jun 30 Sweeney went 3 for 4 Monday in a win over Detroit, hitting his third homer of the season.

Advice: It was his second straight 3-hit game. He's batting .270 this season and .419 since returning off the DL with a sprained knee.
