Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Homers, draws three walks in win
Rotowire
Kurtz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and three walks in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the White Sox.
With the Athletics trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Kurtz took Jordan Leasure deep for a two-run shot to tie the game. It was just Kurtz's second homer of the season, and he's now driven in six runs over the last three contests. After batting .083 over the first seven games of the season, Kurtz has five multi-hit games over his last 13 contests and is now slashing .235/.429/.368 with two long balls, nine RBI, nine runs scored, two stolen bases and a 23:30 BB:K across 91 plate appearances.

Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Racks up season-high three RBI
Rotowire
Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a walk in Thursday's 9-6 loss to Texas.
The 23-year-old slugger collected a season-high three RBI on Thursday, also posting his fourth multi-hit effort of the year. Although Kurtz mashed right-handed pitching to the tune of a 1.153 OPS a year ago, he's off to a sluggish start versus right-handers in 2026. He has a .650 OPS through 42 at-bats against righties so far, though Kurtz did enter Wednesday with an elite 58.6 percent hard-hit rate overall and should find his power stroke soon enough.

Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Clubs first homer in win
Rotowire
Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Mets.
Kurtz went deep for the first time in 2026 on Sunday, victimizing Mets ace Freddy Peralta in the third inning. After beginning the season with a 1-for-17 dry spell in March, the standout first baseman is turning things around in April. Over his last 32 at-bats, Kurtz is batting .281 with three extra-base hits, three RBI, 10 walks and one stolen base.

Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Reaches base five times, swipes bag
Rotowire
Kurtz went 2-for-3 with a double, three walks, one run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Astros.
Kurtz entered play Sunday in a 2-for-24 slump with a 6:13 BB:K to begin the season. Kurtz walked in the first, singled and stole his second base in the third, walked and scored in the fifth, hit a ground-rule double in the sixth for his first extra-base hit of the season and walked again in the seventh. Perhaps it will help propel Kurtz into a hot streak at the plate. He's now slashing .148/.361/.185 across 36 plate appearances and is still looking for his first home run and RBI of the season.
