Billy Burns B. Burns

Billy Burns not expected back for Oakland until Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Billy Burns (hamstring) won't return to the lineup until at least Friday.

What It Means:

The center fielder hasn't played since last Wednesday due to tightness in his right hamstring. Sam Fuld is in center field Tuesday.

Burns, a 26-year-old rookie, has fared well in his first season in Oakland, although just 26 of his 138 hits have gone for extra bases. He's slashing .297/.336/.388 with 26 steals. We project him to post a .683 OPS with four more stolen bases the rest of the way, assuming the leg ailment doesn't force him to miss significantly more time.
