Making third straight start Cortes will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After going 4-for-8 with a double and two runs over the first two contests of the series, Cortes will be rewarded with a third straight start. He hadn't made any starts in the Athletics' 11 contests before that while he finished June in the midst of a 2-for-33 skid at the plate, but Cortes looks like he'll have a pathway to more consistent playing time after Tyler Soderstrom (hip) recently joined Brent Rooker (knee) on the injured list. Max Muncy and Colby Thomas loom as Cortes' main challengers for reps against right-handed pitching, but both Muncy and Thomas have started in just one of the Athletics' three games versus Miami.

Losing out on playing time Cortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Idle against southpaw Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact 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 Demters, 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.

Impact 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.

Pops homer in win Cortes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Impact Cortes clubbed his first homer since May 24 versus the Padres to pull the Athletics within a run in the seventh inning. The outfielder has been seeing steady time in right field against right-handed pitchers, primarily working in a platoon with Colby Thomas while bumping Lawrence Butler into a reserve role. However, Cortes has gone just 4-for-21 (.190) in June after batting .265 in May to gain a foothold in the lineup. Overall, Cortes is hitting .310 with an .890 OPS, six homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base across 182 plate appearances, but his consistency has faded a bit. That may not cost him playing time if Brent Rooker (knee) ends up on the injured list, but it could open the door for Butler to get more looks.

Launches leadoff homer Cortes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Padres.

Impact Cortes started the scoring quickly, lifting a Michael King changeup over the right-field fence for a leadoff homer. The outfielder later added a single in the ninth inning to record his 11th multi-hit effort of the campaign. Cortes has emerged as one of the Athletics' most consistently productive bats in 2026, slashing .350/.430/.553 with 14 extra-base hits (five homers), 17 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base across 142 plate appearances.

MAY 17 • Associated Press

Back in lineup Sunday Cortes is starting in right field and batting second Sunday against the Giants.

Impact The 28-year-old sat the past two games despite the fact that the Giants sent out right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll rejoin the starting nine Sunday versus righty Adrian Houser. Cortes has a .226/.242/.290 slash line through 10 games in May, and his absence the past two days helped to get top prospect Henry Bolte into the lineup. Cortes still has an impressive .946 OPS on the season, but Bolte could cut into his playing time further if the struggles continue.
