Athletics bring back Nick Kurtz from IL and slot him in as DH
The Oakland Athletics reinstated slugger Nick Kurtz from the 10‑day injured list and inserted him into the lineup as the designated hitter for the team's Saturday night game in Minnesota. Kurtz aims to add power to the middle of the order after a recent surge in his hitting performance.
The club also exercised its option on Max Muncy, bolstering depth in the infield. Management says the moves give the roster flexibility as the season unfolds.
