7/11 8:19 AM Dillon Dingler (C-DET) [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Athletics' Nick Kurtz placed on IL with thumb injury, will miss All-Star Game. Injuries continue to pile on the Athletics. All-Star first baseman was placed on the IL with a right thumb capsule strain, the team announced Saturday. Catcher was recalled to take Kurtz’s roster spot. The 31-year-old makes his second appearance of the 2026 season with the A’s. In 102 games over parts of four MLB seasons with the A’s, Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays, Serven is slashing .188/247/.292 with six homers and 20 RBI. Kurtz exited Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers early due to an illness after appearing to sustain a hand injury. The 6-foot-5 infielder was just one of the handful of victims of a stomach bug maneuvering the A’s clubhouse. But this IL stint could go back to that hand injury he sustained Wednesday when he collided with Dillon Dingler near first base while attempting to field an errant throw from third baseman Zack Gelof. Kurtz, the reigning American League Rookie of the Year, recently was named an All-Star for the first time in his career and later announced as the starter for the AL side after Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. shared he wasn’t going to participate in this year’s Midsummer Classic. Now Kurtz won’t be able to participate in the Midsummer Classic. Kurtz is batting .270 with 20 home runs and 66 RBI this season. The Athletics, who now have lost six in a row and 10 of their last 11, certainly will miss production from one of their best players. The good news is the All-Star break is right around the corner, and the A’s — like many other teams — certainly could use the extra days to rest and recover.

7/11 5:59 AM Shohei Ohtani (DH-LAD) Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani to have left knee drained Sunday and will miss All-Star Game. Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will have his left knee drained Sunday to relieve continued irritation, and the procedure will force him to miss the All-Star Game next week in Philadelphia. Ohtani will have fluid removed from his left knee following a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in which he will continue to start at designated hitter. Ohtani had been scheduled to pitch on Friday night, but instead led off with a 381-foot homer to left center after the Dodgers decided to make it a bullpen game to avoid further aggravating the ongoing discomfort in his left knee. Ohtani has been dealing with the ailment for at least a month.
