Player Outlook
The Rule 5 Draft is often an afterthought on the final day of the annual MLB Winter Meetings, but every few years a gem will emerge from the list of selections. Oakland plucked Ryan Noda away from the Dodgers in the 2022 edition of the event and he fully unseated Jesus Aguilar as the Athletics' primary first baseman by the fourth week of the 2023 regular season. Aguilar was cut loose at the end of May, with Noda continuing to take on increasing importance in the A's offense as the summer rolled along. He jumped into the leadoff spot just before suffering a fractured jaw during a pregame fielding mishap in mid-July and quickly reprised that tablesetting role when he returned from the IL four weeks later. Noda has his flaws, but he can approach 20 homers and gets on base at a steady enough clip to churn out a useful helping of runs scored.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Clocks first homer

    Noda went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday. Noda authored the only multi-hit effort of the game for the Athletics, accomplishing the feat for the first time all season in the process. Noda's leadoff round tripper in the fifth inning was also his first time clearing the fences in 2024, and although his slash line still sits at a forgettable .190/.288/.293 through 67 plate appearances, he's now hit safely in three straight contests.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Sits against Gore

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Rough day in return

    Noda (hand) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a win over the Rangers on Thursday. He sat out each of the first two games of the series against the Rangers with a hand bruise suffered in batting practice, and it may have still been bothering him in his return. Noda had reached twice and scored two runs in his last contest Sunday, which marks one of his most productive efforts of a disappointing early part of the season. Through 43 plate appearances, the 28-year-old has just one extra-base hit, a double, and sports an ugly .189/.286/.216 slash line that's partly the byproduct of a 32.6 percent strikeout rate.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Tending to hand injury

    Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to a left hand injury, MLB.com reports. According to MLB.com, Noda was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 4-3 win after his hand was struck by a pitching machine during batting practice. X-rays on Noda's hand came back negative, so he could be available off the bench Wednesday if he's not dealing with too much discomfort.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Belts first homer of spring

    Noda went 2-fo-3 with a solo home run and an additional run in the Athletics' 7-4 Cactus League win over the Giants on Wednesday. Noda got the Athletics off on the right foot by belting a Spencer Howard offering into the center field seats to lead off the first inning. The slugging first baseman, who recorded 39 extra-base hits (including 16 homers) across 128 games as a rookie in 2023, is now 3-for-6 over the last two exhibitions and has reached safely in all three games he's played overall.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Slugs 16th homer

    Noda went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Twins on Thursday. Noda's eighth-inning solo blast snapped a 1-1 tie and proved to be the difference in the game. The homer snapped an extended power drought for the rookie, who's now reached safely in six straight games but had last left the yard Sept. 11, a span of 14 contests.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: On base thrice in loss

    Noda went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Noda extended his modest hitting streak to three games with Sunday's multi-hit effort, his first since Sept. 1. The rookie is heading into the final stretch of the regular season with some solid momentum, having posted a .273/.385/.839 slash line with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI across the 19 games he's played since returning from an injured list stint due to a jaw fracture. Noda has also encouragingly demonstrated an improvement in his ability to make consistent contact during that sample -- he posted a 32.5 percent strikeout rate in the first 100 games of the season, but he's cut that figure down to 24.4 percent since his IL return.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Slugs 13th homer Sunday

    Noda went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run in a win over the Angels on Sunday. Noda ignited the Athletics' rally from a 3-0 deficit in the sixth inning with a 406-foot shot to center and Zack Gelof aboard. The rookie has now hit safely in four straight games, and he boasts a .310 average and .942 OPS overall across the 13 contests he's suited up for since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a fractured jaw.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Thrives as in-game replacement

    Noda entered Friday's win over the Angels as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning and remained in the game at first base, going 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a run. The 27-year-old lined out to center in his pinch-hit appearance, but he proceeded to deliver in his final at-bat of the night with an eighth-inning double that drove in Zack Gelof. Noda now has five RBI over his last seven games and pushed his OPS back over the .800 threshold (.803) for the season with Friday's production.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Records third steal Thursday

    Noda went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the White Sox on Thursday. The rookie slugger led off for only the fifth time this season and crossed the plate with the go-ahead run in the seventh inning on Zack Gelof's two-run home run. Noda has reached safely in each of his first four games back from a stint on the injured list due to a jaw fracture, although he's still searching for his first extra-base hit since July 18.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Returns from injured list

    The Athletics reinstated Noda (jaw) from the 10-day injured list Monday. Noda will rejoin the big club after he recently completed a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas, during which he went 4-for-10 with two home runs and two doubles. Before fracturing his jaw in mid-July, Noda had been one of the Athletics' more productive hitters, and he should immediately reclaim a near-everyday spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. The Athletics demoted Tyler Soderstrom to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Back to taking BP

    Noda (jaw) has been cleared to begin hitting again while donning a batting helmet, the Associated Press reports. Manager Mark Kotsay labeled the latest benchmark in Noda's recovery from a fractured jaw "a good sign" and added that the rookie is set for another evaluation with his oral surgeon next week. Noda's ability to begin taking batting practice again should help him preserve some timing, although he's likely to require a rehab assignment before his eventual activation.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Tracks pitches Saturday

    Noda (jaw) tracked pitches in the batter's box while James Kaprielian (shoulder) and Zach Jackson (elbow) completed mound sessions Saturday, the Associated Press reports. The rookie still likely has at least a couple of more weeks on the shelf before returning from the fractured mandible he suffered while getting hit in the face during pregame fielding practice Tuesday. However, it's certainly a positive for Noda to try and remain mentally locked in as much as possible during his sudden shutdown. If Noda's healing process goes as expected, he may not need a rehab assignment before being activated.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Likely out three weeks

    Nola (jaw) is expected to be sidelined for around three weeks, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. That's the timeline Noda received from an oral surgeon after he was diagnosed Wednesday with a fractured mandible. He suffered the injury Tuesday while taking pregame fielding practice and has already been placed on the injured list. Seth Brown is starting at first base and batting cleanup for the Athletics on Thursday versus the Astros.

  • Athletics' Ryan Noda: Out due to dental emergency

    Noda was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to a dental emergency, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Unless Noda is still dealing with pain in his mouth area after visiting the dentist, he likely won't miss more than a day or two of action before returning to the Oakland lineup. As a result of Noda being scratched Wednesday, Shea Langeliers will make a fourth consecutive start behind the plate, while Tyler Soderstrom fills in for Noda at first base.
