Athletics' Henry Bolte: On IL at Double-A
Rotowire
Double-A Midland placed Bolte on the 7-day injured list June 30 with an undisclosed injury.
A righty-hitting outfielder with plus-plus speed and plus raw power, Bolte is repeating Double-A after logging a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in 54 games there in 2024. Prior to his injury, he was slashing .274/.377/.423 with seven home runs, 31 steals and a 26.9 percent strikeout rate in 75 games. His contact rate at Double-A is up from 60.9 percent in 2024 to 69.3 percent this year, so while he has improved, Bolte still projects to strike out a lot at the highest level.

Athletics' Henry Bolte: Moves up to Double-A
Rotowire
The Athletics promoted Bolte from High-A Lansing to Double-A Midland on Monday.
The 20-year-old outfielder will head to the Texas League after he turned in a .276/.394/.515 slash line with 11 home runs and 28 stolen bases across 320 plate appearances. Bolte boasts a solid blend of pop, speed and on-base skills, but improving on his shaky hit tool will likely be essential if he's to stick in an everyday role by the time he reaches the big leagues. He struck out at a 30.9 percent clip in the Midwest League, which was actually an improvement from his rate over 491 plate appearances with Single-A Stockton in 2023 (33.4 percent).
