Kurtz Back, Muncy Down: Aths Roster Shift | Oakland Athletics News

The Athletics welcome back rookie slugger Nick Kurtz from injury, reuniting him with the lineup after he hit over 20 homers before his thumb sprain sidelined him. To make room, infielder Max Muncy heads back to Triple-A, where he’ll get consistent at-bats to keep developing. Kurtz’s return boosts the offense alongside Brent Rooker, giving the A’s a more dangerous lineup — even as they stay focused on building young talent. It’s a smart move that balances immediate impact with long-term growth. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
