Sitting Monday
Kurtz is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Monday.
Analyse
Kurtz has gone 1-for-7 with a three-run home run and five strikeouts in his two games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday. He'll take a seat for Monday's series opener while Jeff McNeil starts at first base and Tyler Soderstrom serves as the designated hitter.

Launches 21st homer
Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 11-8 loss to the Twins.
Analyse
Kurtz returned from a thumb injury Saturday, but he stayed cold at the plate. When he went deep Sunday, he snapped an 0-for-25 stretch at the plate that dated back to July 3. The first baseman should be able to turn things around, though his 32.1 percent strikeout rate is an obvious flaw, especially since he's struck out 17 times over nine contests in July. Kurtz is batting .264 with a .901 OPS, 21 homers, 69 RBI, 62 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases over 94 games this season.

Activated from IL
The Athletics reinstated Kurtz (thumb) from the injured list Saturday.
Analyse
Kurtz landed on the injured list July 11 due to a right thumb capsule sprain, but he's now been cleared to return to action without having to play in any rehab games. The 23-year-old slugger figures to immediately reclaim his role as the Athletics' everyday first baseman, and he'll replace Max Muncy on the active roster.
