## Resource

The A’s are reeling from a brutal injury wave that’s derailed their AL West lead and pushed them to fourth—still in the Wild Card hunt, but with mounting pressure. Zack Gelof’s 24-game hitting streak ended, Brent Rooker’s season is over after knee surgery, and Jacob Wilson and Tyler Soderstrom are sidelined. Now Shea Langeliers is out with a thumb contusion, forcing Jonah Heim into the catcher’s role. With Cortes needing to step up after a recent slump, the A’s playoff hopes rest on him and others stepping into the void—because without their stars, this team’s survival hinges on grit, resilience, and unexpected heroes.
