Losing out on playing time
Cortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Analyse
Cortes will be left out of the starting nine for the fourth straight game, with two of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. The 28-year-old has been holding down a strong-side platoon role in right field or at designated hitter for much of the season, but his playing time looks to be trending down while he's stuck in an extended rut at the plate. Over his last 11 games, Cortes has gone 2-for-30 and has drawn just one walk, bringing his on-base percentage down from .402 to .359 for the season.

Resting vs lefty
Cortes is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.
Analyse
The Giants have lefty Robbie Ray starting Tuesday, so left-handed hitting Cortes is taking a seat. Colby Thomas is getting the start in right field and batting eighth. Additionally, Joey Meneses has the start as the designated hitter and is batting sixth.

Idle against southpaw
Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Analyse
Cortes is stuck in a 2-for-29 slump at the plate over his last 10 games, and since the left-handed hitter likely would have struggled to get back on track Sunday versus Angels southpaw Reid Detmers, the Athletics have elected to keep him on the bench for a second straight game. Joey Meneses will step in for Cortes as the Athletics' designated hitter in the series finale.

Out of Saturday's lineup
Cortes isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Analyse
Cortes will take a day off to reset after going 0-for-15 across his last four games. While he sits, Lawrence Butler will start in right field, and Jonah Heim will work as the DH.
