Kurtz (hip) went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in a rehab game with Single-A Stockton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz showed off his well-known power with a two-run home run that landed on the right-field porch. The 22-year-old is expected to be activated from the Athletics' 10-day injured list Monday, assuming he came out of Saturday's rehab game without any setbacks with his left hip. Before being shelved May 27, the first baseman slashed .245/.315/.447 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 28 games with the big club.

Kurtz (hip) will embark on a rehab assignment Saturday with Single-A Stockton, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz was placed on the 10-day injured list May 25 due to a strained left hip flexor. He's expected to be activated off the IL ahead of Monday's game against the Angels, but he'll test his hip in Single-A before returning to the majors. Kurtz went 7-for-17 with four home runs and nine RBI in the five games prior to his injury.

Athletics general manager David Forst said Tuesday that the target date for Kurtz's (hip) return is June 9 for the start of their series against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz is not expected to resume running until Saturday as he recovers from a strained left hip flexor, so it's a surprise that he might be ready to be activated early next week. The Athletics have moved Tyler Soderstrom from left field back to first base to account for Kurtz's absence.

Kurtz (hamstring) is expected to begin running the bases on June 7, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz suffered a hamstring injury May 25 while running the bases. It sounds like his return from the injured list may not come until later in June as he'll likely need a rehab stint after he is able to run full speed again.

The Athletics placed Kurtz on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 25, due to a strained left hip flexor.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Angels and will spend at least the next week on the shelf. Logan Davidson was called up by the A's late last week and could see more action at first base while Kurtz is sidelined.

Kurtz (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz's absence from the lineup isn't especially surprising after he was lifted late in Saturday's 11-inning loss to the Phillies after suffering a left hip flexor injury while running the bases. The Athletics are currently labeling Kurtz as day-to-day, but his availability for the start of the team's upcoming series in Houston following Monday's team off day isn't yet known. Logan Davidson will cover first base Sunday in Kurtz's stead.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that Kurtz was removed in the 10th inning of Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Phillies due to a left hip flexor injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run and an RBI before he was lifted for a pinch runner in the bottom of the 10th. Kostay labeled Kurtz as day-to-day, noting that the star rookie is set to be evaluated by the medical staff Sunday before a decision on his availability for the series finale is made.

Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz made things interesting in this contest, as he got the Athletics within a run after taking Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning. This was Kurtz's fourth homer over the last four games, a span in which he has gone 5-for-14 with eight RBI and three walks. The first baseman is up to .231/.291/.440 slash line, five homers, 14 RBI, 10 runs scored and no stolen bases over 103 plate appearances. He looks to be past a slump from the middle of the month, and the power that has helped him take the fast track to the majors hasn't taken long to show up at baseball's highest level.

Kurtz went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs Wednesday in a loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz was the offensive star for the A's in defeat, popping two solo shots that each traveled over 430 feet. The promising young first baseman hit 11 long balls over 32 minor-league games across three levels before getting called up April 23, but he then began his big-league career with just one homer through his first 23 contests. Kurtz appears to be finally finding his power stroke, though, as he's now gone deep three times in his past two games.

Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Kurtz's blast gave the Athletics a short-lived 4-1 lead in the fourth inning. This was his second homer of the season, though he went 0-for-20 with one walk and seven strikeouts over six games since his first long ball May 13 versus the Dodgers. That slump has him down to a .222/.270/.346 slash line over 24 games in the majors. With the A's in the AL West cellar, it's likely Kurtz will continue to get the opportunity to learn on the fly in the majors, though any prolonged slump could cost him at-bats versus left-handed pitchers more frequently.
