Athletics' Jesus Aguilar: Solid spring results at plate
Aguilar is hitting .261 (6-for-23) with two doubles, six RBI, five walks, a hit-by-pitch and three runs across 10 Cactus League games.
While he's yet to leave the yard, Aguilar has put forth a productive spring at the plate thus far and encouragingly struck out just twice in 28 plate appearances. Aguilar has never been able to re-ascend to the heights of his career-best 35-homer 2018 season with the Brewers, but he proved he still had some solid pop in his bat a year ago while belting 35 extra-base hits, including 16 round trippers, across 129 games with the Marlins and Orioles. Aguilar is slated to play on a near-everyday basis at either first base or designated hitter to open the 2023 campaign.

Athletics' Jesus Aguilar: Expected to play every day
Aguilar is expected to receive everyday playing time between first base and designated hitter, Athletics general manager David Forst told Martin Gallegos of MLB.com on Friday.
Forst was speaking to reporters after the A's made their one-year, $3 million contract with Aguilar official. The 32-year-old put up just a .661 OPS over 129 games for the Marlins and Orioles last season, but it's not a surprise to hear the plan is to play him regularly in 2023 given the state of Oakland's roster. Still, it's difficult to imagine Aguilar will have much fantasy utility outside of deep leagues. With Aguilar around, Seth Brown figures to play the outfield more, assuming he's not traded.

Athletics' Jesus Aguilar: Signing deal with A's
Aguilar is set to sign a contract with the Athletics, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
It's a one-year, $3 million deal, adds USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Aguilar largely struggled at the dish for both the Marlins and Orioles in 2022, ultimately finishing with a .235/.281/.379 slash line over 507 plate appearances. The 32-year-old first baseman/DH has some pop left in his bat, however, and appears to have picked the right spot in Oakland to maximize his potential for playing time in 2023.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Sits third straight
Aguilar isn't in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.
Aguilar has made one start in the last six days, and it seems as if the Orioles are content with using multiple other players in the designated hitter spot. Anthony Santander will get the nod Monday, moving Austin Hays over to right field and giving Kyle Stowers a start in left field while batting eighth.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Sitting again Sunday
Aguilar is not in Sunday's lineup against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Aguilar has started only once since Sept. 20, and it came against a right-handed pitcher, so his playing time may be pretty unpredictable over the rest of the season. He is hitting .184 with one home run in 12 games since joining Baltimore.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Back on bench
Aguilar will sit Saturday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Aguilar had started against all five lefties the Orioles faced since he joined the team at the start of September, but he'll sit here even with Framber Valdez on the mound for the opposition. He hasn't turned around his down season thus far with his new team, as he's hitting just .184/.205/.263 in 12 games for Baltimore. That poor performance could continue to cause his playing time to dip.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Not in Thursday's lineup
Aguilar isn't starting Thursday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Aguilar has gone 3-for-12 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and two strikeouts over his last three games but will head to the bench Thursday for a second consecutive matchup. Anthony Santander is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Heads to bench Wednesday
Aguilar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
With the Orioles giving Adley Rutschman a day off behind the plate but keeping his bat in the lineup as the team's designated hitter, Aguilar will head to the bench. Aguilar, who started each of the past three games while going 3-for-12 with a home run and a walk, may have overtaken the struggling Rougned Odor for a spot in the Orioles' everyday lineup. Odor is on the bench Wednesday for the fourth consecutive contest.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Key hits in comeback win
Aguilar went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.
Aguilar's eighth-inning solo shot got the Orioles within a run, and he added an RBI single in the ninth to put them ahead by two. That latter hit proved key, as Toronto was able to get one run back but fell just short of forcing extra innings. Aguilar has multiple hits in two of his last three games, but he hasn't seen steady playing time since he joined the Orioles at the start of September. The veteran first baseman is slashing .233/.280/.381 with 16 homers, 51 RBI, 38 runs scored and a stolen base through 122 contests between Baltimore and Miami this year.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Aguilar is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Aguilar has started three of seven games since joining the Orioles on Sept. 1. He should start against most lefties and some righties, but the Orioles will also use the designated hitter spot to get some of their bench players spot starts in September. Gunnar Henderson is starting at designated hitter while Ramon Urias and Rougned Odor start at third base and second base, respectively.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Sits for second game of twin bill
Aguilar is out of the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Aguilar served as the Orioles' designated hitter in a 7-3 loss in the early game, going 1-for-4. After catching in Game 1, Adley Rutschman will get a breather behind the dish for the nightcap and replace Aguilar in the lineup at DH.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Added to 40-man, active roster
The Orioles selected Aguilar's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
One day after signing Aguilar to a minor-league contract, the Orioles will bring the 32-year-old up to the big leagues as one of their two September call-ups. At least initially, the righty-hitting Aguilar could be deployed as a short-side platoon option at first base or designated hitter, though it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually supplanted one of Ramon Urias, Rougned Odor or Ryan Mountcastle for a near-everyday role. Aguilar posted a .674 OPS in 113 games with the Marlins before being released last weekend, but he's just one season removed from slashing .261/.329/.459 with 22 home runs over 505 plate appearances for Miami.

Orioles' Jesus Aguilar: Lands minor-league deal
Aguilar signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Aguilar was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday and was released a day later after he went unclaimed on waivers. The 32-year-old will need to settle for a minor-league deal for now, but he'll be part of the Orioles' taxi squad over their final two games in Cleveland. It's possible that Aguilar joins the big-league club at some point in September since the major-league rosters will expand from 26 to 28 players over the final month of the regular season.

Jesus Aguilar: Clears waivers, hits free agency
The Marlins released Aguilar on Saturday.
According to Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com, Aguilar cleared release waivers and is now eligible to sign elsewhere at what should be a more team-friendly rate than the $7.3 million he was earning with the Marlins this season. Though his performance has slipped in 2022, the 32-year-old Aguilar has been an above-league-average hitter over the past three seasons (104 wRC+ across 1,182 plate appearances) and could have some appeal to a contending club as a short-side platoon option at designated hitter or first base.

Marlins' Jesus Aguilar: Designated for assignment
Aguilar was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.
Aguilar filled a near-everyday role for Miami earlier this year, sharing first base and the designated hitter spot with Garrett Cooper. After slashing .262/.338/.467 across the past five years, however, he's managed just a .236/.286/.388 line this season. Aguilar could potentially help a contender as a bat off the bench or as a right-handed platoon option, but he's unlikely to play nearly as often down the stretch unless another struggling team decides it wants to add a 32-year-old for the stretch run.

Aguilar isn't starting Monday's game against the Athletics, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
