The Athletics have optioned Ryan Noda to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Fantasy Impact

Noda has struggled this season, posting a .128 batting average in 30 games. The move to Triple-A will give him a chance to find his swing again before returning to the A’s at some point this season.

Ryan Noda went 2-for-4 in the Athletics' 6-3 loss to the Guardians with a home run, a double, one run scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marked a bright spot in a disappointing start to the season for Noda, who has struggled with a batting average of just .190 over 19 games this season. His ability to connect for extra-base hits in this game, including his first home run of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for signs of improvement. However, with a high strikeout rate of 0.313 and modest on-base metrics, Noda remains a risky fantasy play. His performance in this game could be a turning point, but consistent production will be key to his fantasy relevance.

Oakland A's first baseman Ryan Noda isn't in the starting lineup Friday versus the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact
