Kurtz’s Season Ends with Injury | MLB News

Nick Kurtz’s season is officially over after a thumb injury sidelines him for another four weeks — and possibly the rest of the year. Even if he’s ready by September 9th, with just 20 games left, his return would be too risky, especially for a team mired in mediocrity, plagued by shaky pitching, inconsistent offense, and no playoff hopes. Rushing him back wouldn’t help win games — it might even worsen his injury. The only questionable motive? Maybe ownership wants to hype ticket sales. For now, it’s clear: the Athletics have no reason to rush Kurtz, and his promising career faces a brutal early setback.
