WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz left Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox with a bruised forearm after being hit by a pitch.
Kurtz was batting in the first inning with a 3-2 count when thrown by Red Sox starter Patrick Sandoval.
Kurtz had just come off the injured list on Saturday after being out with a right thumb sprain.
Kurtz is batting .260, leads the A’s with 21 home runs and is third in the majors with 77 walks.
