Nick Kurtz remains sidelined with thumb strain as Athletics struggle

Kurtz is currently unavailable for the Athletics after being placed on the 10-day injured list on July 10 with a strained right thumb. This injury came amidst a significant cooling period for the young slugger, who hit just .091 over his last six games. His absence leaves a void at first base for a fourth-place Athletics squad that is currently 41-55 and struggling through a nine-game losing streak. Joey Meneses has stepped in as the primary starter at first base while Kurtz recovers, which is expected to take until late July.

While the recent .179 batting average over the last 30 days is discouraging, our models suggest it was likely exacerbated by the thumb issue. Kurtz has been a high-impact asset for much of the season, maintaining a .403 OBP and clubbing 20 home runs through 92 games. Comparing his current form to our season projection of 30 homers and a .269 average, the power remains elite for his age. His historic walk rates from earlier this spring suggest his plate discipline provides a safe floor once he returns to health.

The Athletics have only three games remaining this week, a home series against the Nationals starting July 17. Since Kurtz is not projected to return to the active roster until the end of the month, he will not participate in these contests. Fantasy managers should maintain him in an IL slot given his massive power upside, but he offers no value for the current scoring period. Sit.
