Oakland Athletics outfielder Jaycob Brugman is absent from the Athletics' starting lineup for Friday's meeting with the New York Mets.
In an NL ballpark, the Athletics will be without a designated hitter tonight, which means Khris Davis will play the outfield, sending Brugman to the bench Friday.
Brugman is due for 1 home run, 2 doubles and 7 RBI across 84 plate appearances the rest of the 2017 season.
