The team only managed to score four runs in the two games he missed due to the birth of his first child and will be glad to welcome him back into the starting nine. He’s been one of the best hitters in the Athletics’ lineup and all of baseball so far as he’s slashing . 336/.
390/. 627 with 10 long balls and an MLB-leading 45 hits. As for Wynns, this may mark the end of his time with the organization.
