Oakland Athletics reinstate first baseman Nick Kurtz from the 10-day injured list ahead of their game Saturday night against Minnesota. Kurtz, who is slotted into the lineup as the designated hitter and bats second, has been sidelined since July 10 with a right thumb strain. To create space on the active roster, the Athletics option infielder Max Muncy to Triple-A Las Vegas. The move brings Kurtz back for the team’s upcoming game following his thumb injury. Kurtz had previously been recognized as the American League Rookie of the Year, and the reports describe him as returning after the prescribed IL period. The Athletics’ roster adjustment pairs his reinstatement with Muncy’s reassignment to the minors, maintaining the team’s active roster size while keeping the infielder available through the farm system.
