JJ Bleday News: Receiving first day off

Bleday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

The 27-year-old outfielder will get his first day off of the season in Sunday's series finale, paving the way for Seth Brown to pick up a start in center. Bleday has delivered disappointing returns through the Athletics' first 15 games, batting .208 with one home run, one steal, nine runs and six RBI.
