Jaycob Brugman

Jaycob Brugman is back in the lineup on Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Jaycob Brugman is in the lineup on Friday versus the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Brugman got a day off on Thursday as Rajai Davis filled in. On Friday, Brugman returns to the lineup, albeit in the ninth spot, while Davis will rotate back to the bench.

Brugman and the A's own the second-lowest implied run total of the night (3.77) as they face the fifth-best strikeout pitcher of the night (Luis Severino), making them a risky play.
