## Resource

The Athletics are hit with a double blow as two key players—Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz and recently returned Zack Gelof—land on the injured list. Kurtz, a standout with 20 homers and All-Star buzz, is sidelined with a thumb injury, while Gelof deals with a knee laceration. To fill the void, the team calls up veteran Joey Meneses and catcher Brian Serven, opening doors for players like Tyler Soderstrom and Lawrence Butler to seize more playing time. With the season winding down, the A’s hope these setbacks are short-lived as they pivot toward the future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
