Crisp is starting in left field and hitting second in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The A's will give the struggling Khris Davis the day off Wednesday, and Crisp is the beneficiary, moving to second in the order, behind Billy Burns. So far, when he's been in the lineup, it has primarily been in the leadoff role, so the fact that the A's want him hitting near the top even when Burns is leading off is notable. If Davis, who leads MLB with 14 strikeouts, continues to struggle, Crisp's playing time should continue to trend up.
