Jun 25 2025Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since getting claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13 and joining the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching at first base or designated hitter. However, Noda has gone just 2-for-21 with six walks and 13 strikeouts to begin his time with the White Sox, and it wouldn't be surprising if his time as a lineup regular was nearing its end. He'll take a seat against Arizona righty Zac Gallen to open up a spot in the starting nine for Michael Taylor.
Jun 23 2025Noda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll hit the bench while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a regular in the White Sox lineup against right-handed pitching since he was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13. Noda started in seven of the previous eight games but went 2-for-19 with five walks and 12 strikeouts. Edgar Quero will replace him at designated hitter Monday.
Jun 22 2025Noda will start at designated hitter and will bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After joining the White Sox last weekend shortly after being claimed off waivers from the Red Sox, Noda has handled a regular role for Chicago. He's started seven of the last eight games, but he's gone just 2-for-17 with a solo home run. Expect Noda's playing time to eventually trend downward if he's unable to get anything going at the dish.
Jun 14 2025The White Sox recalled Noda from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda was DFA'd by Boston on June 9 and was subsequently claimed off waivers by the White Sox. Chicago initially optioned the first baseman to Triple-A but has now brought him to the major-league roster. In a corresponding roster move, fellow infielder Tim Elko as optioned to the minors. Noda is starting at first base and batting seventh in his White Sox debut Saturday.
Jun 13 2025The White Sox claimed Noda off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Monday in order to make room on the 40-man roster for Roman Anthony. Noda has spent the entire 2025 season in Triple-A, and across 51 games between Salt Lake and Worcester he is slashing .204/.404/.375 with four steals, seven home runs and 21 RBI across 208 plate appearances.
Jun 9 2025The Red Sox designated Noda for assignment Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Roman Anthony. Noda was acquired from the Angels via trade in late May and has slashed .378/.519/.703 with three homers and a 12:12 K:BB in 13 games with Triple-A Worcester. There could be some interest in Noda on waivers.
May 22 2025The Angels traded Noda to the Red Sox on Thursday in exchange for cash. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels designated Noda for assignment Sunday after he started the season at Triple-A Salt Lake with a .634 OPS through 154 plate appearances. He'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining the Red Sox, who have been looking for an answer at first base with Triston Casas (knee) out for the year and Romy Gonzalez sidelined with a quad injury.
Mar 26 2025The Angels optioned Noda to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda batted .182 this spring, but 15 walks in 49 plate appearances helped him finish the Cactus League with an .813 OPS. Despite his display of plate discipline and ability to play first base and corner outfielder, he'll have to work his way back into the majors by maintaining success at the Triple-A level.
Nov 1 2024The Angels claimed Noda off waivers from the Athletics on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda showed some promise in 2023 after the A's plucked him in the Rule 5 Draft, slashing .229/.364/.406 with 16 homers in 128 contests. He faceplanted in 2024, however, posting just a .465 OPS in 36 games with Oakland while spending most of the year in the minors. Noda will turn 29 in March and will get a chance to compete for playing time at first base, the corner outfield spots and designated hitter.
Sep 22 2024The Athletics optioned Noda to Double-A Midland on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Triple-A season ending Sunday, Noda will go to the Athletics' affiliate in Midland, which is in the Double-A playoffs. Noda appeared in five games for the Athletics since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sept. 10, going 1-for-8 with one run scored and two walks over that span.
Sep 12 2024Noda is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Noda started at first base in both of the first two games of the series with righties on the mound for the Astros, but he'll take a seat as southpaw Framber Valdez goes to the hill in the finale. Tyler Nevin will play first base and bat seventh for Oakland.
Sep 10 2024The Athletics recalled Noda from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda had put up a .998 OPS with eight home runs with Las Vegas since the beginning of August. He hit just .128/.242/.198 in 30 games with the Athletics earlier this season but could see ample playing time for them at first base down the stretch.
May 17 2024Noda is 5-for-13 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, three walks and four runs over his last four games with Triple-A Las Vegas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The brief but impressive stretch is in stark contrast to the first eight games following Noda's demotion, when he posted an .083 average across 37 plate appearances. The 28-year-old, who limped to a .128 average and .440 OPS during his 30 games in the majors to open the season, could soon earn himself a call back to the big-league club if he can keep his hot bat going for an extended period.
May 1 2024The Athletics optioned Noda to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda's 0-for-3 performance during Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh extended his hitless streak to 28 at-bats across 11 games and gives him a putrid .128 batting average through 83 at-bats on the year. Abraham Toro will likely fill in as Oakland's everyday first baseman while Noda attempts to rediscover his swing in the minors.
Apr 27 2024Noda is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Noda will begin Saturday's game in the dugout with the Orioles sending out southpaw Cole Irvin. It marks the third game in a row that Noda hasn't started, though he did pinch hit in each of the Athletics' last two games. Abraham Toro will start at first base Saturday and bat fifth.
Apr 26 2024Noda is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old sat against lefty Nestor Cortes on Thursday and is on the bench again Friday versus righty Corbin Burnes. Tyler Nevin will receive a start at first base as Noda has a .523 OPS through 83 plate appearances this season.
Apr 25 2024Noda isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Nestor Cortes will start on the mound for New York, forcing the lefty-hitting Noda to start Thursday's contest in the dugout. While he sits, Abraham Toro will start at first base with Max Schuemann and Darell Hernaiz covering second and third.
Apr 21 2024Noda went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
