Crisp is out of the lineup for an eighth straight game Sunday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Crisp finally seems to be healthy, but his tremendous struggles at the plate this season (.167/.244/.213 line over 108 at-bats) have cost him his starting job in the outfield. The 35-year-old remains under contract through the end of 2016 before the A's can buy him out in 2017, so it wouldn't be surprised if they gave him another crack at the starting job in left field if incumbent Jake Smolinski fails to cut it.
