Carlos Cortes | Fantasy Outlook

Carlos Cortes remains in an everyday role despite a quiet August at the plate

Cortes has cooled off considerably down the stretch, batting just .238 with one home run over his last 14 days and .226 across the past month. Even with the slump, he continues to secure steady playing time as the primary designated hitter and depth outfielder for a fourth-place Athletics club (53-84) navigating season-ending injuries to Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom.

The recent skid reflects natural regression following his hot start to the campaign, bringing his season line to a modest .257 average with eight home runs through 104 games. While our baseline projections anticipated a batting average around .265, his limited power output and low walk rate over recent weeks confirm that his early-season peak was an outlier rather than a sustained offensive breakout.

The Athletics embark on a seven-game road trip this week, visiting Texas for three games before heading to Seattle for four. Cortes faces a difficult rotation mix that includes Jacob deGrom and Logan Gilbert (3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP), balanced slightly by more vulnerable arms like MacKenzie Gore (4.47 ERA) and Kade Anderson (4.50 ERA). Given his suppressed run production and tough pitching matchups, he belongs on benches in standard formats. Sit.
