OAKLAND — For the first time since March 21, Matt Olson is back in the A's lineup.
Oakland reinstated Olson from the injured list Tuesday after the first baseman missed 34 games with a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Olson will bat fifth as the A's open a three-game interleague series with the Cincinnati Reds.
Meanwhile, A's designated hitter Khris Davis was initially listed in the cleanup spot after leaving Sunday's game in Pittsburgh with a left hip contusion. However, Davis was a late scratch from the lineup due to that hip injury and was replaced by Kendrys Morales.
