Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Sitting again Saturday
Cortes is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

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

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Back in lineup Sunday
Cortes is starting in right field and batting second Sunday against the Giants.
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, and could the eventual return of Denzel Clarke (foot).

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Nabs first steal in loss
Cortes went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles.
Cortes drove in the Athletics' lone run on a sacrifice fly in the second inning before swiping his first career bag in the seventh. The 28-year-old has cooled off a bit, going just 6-for-24 to open the month of May, but he's still slashing an outstanding .355/.408/.570 with four homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored across 103 plate appearances this season. He continues to sit against most southpaws despite going 5-for-8 against them in the early going.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Tallies two hits Thursday
Cortes went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Phillies.
Cortes accounted for two of the Athletics' 13 hits in Thursday's blowout road victory, including an RBI single in the third inning. It marked the outfielder's ninth multi-hit effort of the season as he continues to emerge as a major offensive threat with increased playing time. The 28-year-old owns an OPS north of 1.000, slashing .373/.435/.602 with four homers, five doubles, a triple, 14 RBI and 11 runs across 29 games in 2026.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Keeps rolling with first triple
Cortes went 3-for-4 with a two-run triple in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
The three-bagger was Cortes' first of the season and the second of his career. The 28-year-old outfielder has been a pleasant surprise so far for the A's, posting a 1.122 OPS over his first 61 at-bats. Cortes has been especially hot in his last seven outings, during which he's batting .538 with three home runs, three doubles and seven RBI covering 26 at-bats.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Goes deep twice in win
Cortes went 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Rangers.
Cortes clubbed one of three first-inning solo homers for the Athletics and later broke the game open with a three-run shot in the fifth. The 28-year-old has carried a productive bat of late, going 10-for-21 with two doubles, three homers, five RBI and four runs during a modest five-game hit streak. That strong run has boosted his OPS for the season to 1.028, and he's delivered that with a miniscule 6.5 percent strikeout rate.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Goes deep in four-hit effort
Cortes went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 win against Seattle.
Cortes opened the scoring for the Athletics with a 379-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. He added three singles to finish with his first career four-hit performance. Cortes didn't play much early in the campaign but has started five of the A's past six games, either in left field or right field or at DH. He rarely hits against lefties (Cortes has just two plate appearances against southpaws this season and has gone 2-for-2) but has shown himself to be very capable of hitting big-league pitching, posting a .333/.417/.548 slash line with two home runs, seven RBI and a 6:2 BB:K through 48 total plate appearances.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Taking seat Sunday
Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Cortes and fellow left-handed hitters Jeff McNeil and Lawrence Butler will hit the bench for the series finale while southpaw Noah Schultz takes the hill for the White Sox. Since Brent Rooker (oblique) landed on the injured list April 10, Cortes has gained a foothold in the Athletics' regular lineup versus right-handed pitching while shuffling between the corner-outfield spots and designated hitter.

Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Not starting Saturday
Clarke is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the White Sox on Saturday.
Clarke is out of the A's starting lineup for the second time in three games as the team deploys Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler and Carlos Cortes in the outfield from left to right against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. In his last 15 games, Clarke has gone 7-for-38 (.184) with one steal, five RBI and a 2:15 K:BB.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Moves into regular role
Cortes will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Mets.
Cortes will crack the Athletics lineup for the fourth time in five games, with the last three starts coming at DH. The 28-year-old looks as though he'll be in line for regular playing time against righties while Brent Rooker (oblique) is on the shelf. Cortes has wielded a hot bat in the early going, slashing .333/.455/.611 with three extra-base knocks in 22 plate appearances.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Drives in two runs Sunday
Cortes went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and a walk in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Astros.
Cortes made his third start of the young season Sunday and had a pair of RBI hits in the AL West slugfest. Denzel Clarke later pinch-ran for Cortes in the seventh inning, and Cortes has yet to finish a game he's started this season. Through 10 plate appearances, Cortes is 4-for-8 with two doubles and a pair of RBI.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Homers again Saturday
Cortes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Reds.
Cortes again got the start in left field with Tyler Soderstrom (groin) still out. With three homers over his last three games, Cortes is making a strong case for additional playing time to close out the campaign. The outfielder is up to four homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and a .338/.351/.620 slash line over 74 plate appearances this season.
