Oakland Athletics slugger Nick Kurtz is scheduled to see a hand specialist in Los Angeles on Monday regarding an injured right thumb, according to reports. The injury previously landed Kurtz on the injured list on July 11 with a sprained right thumb. He returns from that stint about two weeks later, but continues to deal with the thumb issue that is prompting the specialist visit. The reports also note that Kurtz is hit by a pitch on the left forearm during a game on Wednesday night. Despite the forearm impact, he is able to return to the lineup for the next two games. With the thumb injury under evaluation, Kurtz could be headed back to the injured list, though the reports do not specify a confirmed timeline. The specialist consultation is expected to guide next steps for treatment and determine how the thumb injury affects his availability.
