Kurtz takes a seat with lefty Patrick Corbin on the mound for Monday’s series opener at Globe Life Field. The 22-year-old top prospect is hitting .250 (4-for-16) with three RBI through five games since being promoted last week to the big leagues. Some initial turbulence isn’t unexpected as Kurtz acclimates to life in the majors less than a calendar year after being selected fourth overall in the draft. It’ll be Tyler Soderstrom at the cold corner on Monday night in his place.

The White Sox took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th, but it wasn’t enough. The homer was Urias’s fourth in just 46 plate appearances this season. He’s taken over as the Athletics’ second baseman since Max Muncy was sent down, and while his defense is an issue there, his bat deserves to be in the lineup; he’s hitting .275/.348/.575.

Joshua Palacios homered to start the game, but that was the lone run the A’s surrendered through nine innings. Bido was effective despite striking out just one. He’s totaled three strikeouts over 16 innings in his last three starts, compared to 14 in 15 innings in his first three. That he’s been successful in two of these recent outings anyway was undoubtedly influenced by the competition — two starts against the White Sox will help anyone’s overall line. He has another rather easy matchup coming up against the Marlins, making him a decent streaming option.

Urias drove in one of the Athletics’ three runs with a solo homer in the seventh inning for his only hit of the day. The 27-year-old infielder has operated as the A’s primary second baseman until Zack Gelof (hand) returns. Urias is hitting 270/.333/.514 with three homers over 43 plate appearances.

It was the only hit of the game for Walker, but if you’re only going to get one hit, you might as well make it a homer. Walker has gone deep four times in his first year with the Astros, but is still slashing an ugly .192/.273/.354 over the first 27 games of the campaign. Those numbers will improve, but there’s no denying the first sixth of the season has been a disappointing one for the veteran first baseman.

It’s a well-deserved breather for the 37-year-old first baseman who is hitting .369/.421/.476 with only one homer, 10 RBI and one stolen base through his first 27 games with the Bombers. Ben Rice will draw the start at first base and will bat second against Blue Jays’ right-hander Chris Bassitt on Sunday evening.
