Held out against right-hander
Cortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Análise
The Athletics have been shielding the left-handed-hitting Cortes against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat against a righty (Rhett Lowder) on Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a walk while starting in the previous two contests. Jacob Wilson will get a break from playing shortstop but will remain in the lineup as Cortes' replacement at designated hitter.

Back in lineup Sunday
Cortes will serve as the Athletics' designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Análise
The left-handed-hitting Cortes had started just once in the last eight games, though he had a bit of an unlucky runout with the Athletics facing just one right-handed starter during that stretch. Cortes should be fairly secure in a strong-side platoon role until the Athletics get at least two of Zack Gelof (knee), Denzel Clarke (hamstring) and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) back from the injured list.
