Summary
Athletics’ star first baseman Nick Kurtz is sidelined with a sprained thumb, missing the All-Star Game and yesterday’s game against the White Sox. Despite a strong season—batting .266 with 20 homers and leading the league in walks (76)—this injury marks his second major absence this year. The team has called up catcher Brian Serven from Triple-A to fill the void, as Kurtz and manager Mark Kotsay remain unavailable for comment. With Kurtz’s power and patience sorely missed, fans await his recovery and the team’s adjustment. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
