The Associated Press reports Oakland Athletics OF Ryan Sweeney's 10-game hitting streak ended Tuesday, July 29.

Ryan Sweeney, who missed yesterday's game with a sore left pinkie, returned to the starting lineup on Sunday. He went 1-for-4 with a single and run scored. The finger isn't an issue.

Ryan Sweeney was held out of the lineup Saturday with a sore left pinkie. Sweeney should be fine with a day of rest. "His finger was feeling sore," manager Bob Geren said. "It got roughed up last night. He's available to pinch-hit if I need him, though." Rajai Davis replaced him in the lineup.

Sweeney extended his hitting streak to eight games and is 12-for-29 with four RBIs and three runs during the run. The outfielder is worth having in deeper mixed leagues, as he sports a solid .309 average and is also a threat on the basepaths, as evidenced by his eight steals.

Sweeney's been the picture of productivity in July, going 18-for-51 (.353) after having turned in a solid .294 clip last month. While owners might like to see a bit more power from the young leadoff man (.431 SLG, 2 XBH in July), he's certainly a worthy extra outfield option while he's swinging the bat with this type of consistency.

Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-4 and registered the A's lone RBI in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Yankees in the Bronx.That was the fourth time he recorded multiple hits over his last six games, and he has four RBI over his last three outings. He should remain in AL-only league lineups while he is hot.

Sweeney drives in two but A's lose to Yanks

Ryan Sweeney was back in the lineup from a dislocated finger. He went 1-for-4.He hit third in the lineup and outfielder Matt Murton did not start. Sweeney has been a good contact hitter all season but he has come up short in the power department when healthy.

The A's are hopeful that Ryan Sweeney will be ready to return to action immediately following the All-Star break, according to the SF Chronicle. He has been nursing a dislocated left pinkie finger.Sweeney will be a welcome addition back to Oakland, as well as AL-only teams, as he holds a .301 average over 68 games, with seven stolen bases and 31 runs scored.

Ryan Sweeney was held out of the lineup on Sunday with a swollen ankle.This is truly unfortunate timing for Sweeney. He had multi-hit games in four of his last five games. He is day-to-day.

Athletics' Sweeney hits third homer

Ryan Sweeney had two hits, scored a run, knocked one in and stole his seventh base of the season on Saturday night for the Athletics.Sweeney battled for playing time early on, and through injury of late, and he is producing a fine season hitting .298 with those seven steals. The power still isn't there with only two longballs, but he has certainly been an asset in AL only leagues.

Ryan Sweeney is expecting to play tonight after battling a sore left ankle, according to OaklandAthletics.com.The 23-year-old Sweeney has played pretty well for Oakland, hitting .296 and stealing six bases despite the Athletics well-known disdain for the practice. He won't provide much power but is worth taking a peek at in AL-only leagues.
