6/13/25 | Kurtz, Caglianone Highlight K.C. Royals Weekend Series with A's. About 11 months ago, the Athletics had their choice of talent in the 2024 MLB Draft, and they went with first baseman Nick Kurtz out of Wake Forest at No. 4 overall. Two picks later, the Kansas City Royals selected Jac Caglianone with the No. 6 pick. Both prospects have moved quickly through the minor leagues, with Kurtz getting the call to the A's roster in late April, and Caglianone making his own MLB debut just over a week ago. Kurtz is known for his advanced approach at the plate, while Caglianone has grabbed headlines with his ridiculous power stroke. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/athletics/news/kurtz-caglia... |
6/09/25 | A's Officially Activate Nick Kurtz, Austin Wynns. As expected, the Athletics have officially activated first baseman Nick Kurtz from the IL ahead of Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels. After one rehab game with the High-A Stockton Ports (who play about an hour outside of West Sacramento) on Saturday night, Kurtz was back in the A's clubhouse on Sunday morning so that he'd be able to catch the team's flight to Anaheim. At the time of his injury, Kurtz was really beginning to put things together at the plate, going 7-for-25 (,280) in his last seven while putting up a .380 OBP and smacking four home runs. If the A's can add that bat back into the lineup, this is a dangerous group, in addition to Lawrence Butler, Jacob Wilson, and Brent Rooker.
