Athletics Hit by IL Hurdles as Kurtz and Gelof Go Down

Oakland will place Nick Kurtz on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb strain, jeopardizing his All-Star chances despite a .902 OPS and 20 homers in 92 games. Teammate Zack Gelof also heads to the IL with a knee laceration after a wall collision, prompting the recalled Joey Meneses to take his roster spot. Gelof had a 120 wRC+ in 67 games, and the A’s are reshuffling around the break with Soderström and Wilson back in the lineup as Meneses starts at first base.

White Sox Bring Murakami Back, Eyeing Boost Against Athletics

Munetaka Murakami will be activated from the 10-day IL for a home series against the Athletics to close the first half, returning after a six-week Grade 2 right hamstring injury. He was among MLB leaders with 20 homers before the setback, and his return is expected to bolster a White Sox lineup that has struggled at first base, potentially helping Chicago maintain its AL Central lead.

Athletics Place Gelof on 10-Day IL With Right Hand Contusion

Oakland placed Zack Gelof on the 10-day injured list with a right hand contusion retroactive to June 24, recalling Alika Williams. Gelof had been a bright spot this season (11 homers, .282/.336/.498, 128 wRC+ in 62 games) and was riding a 24-game hit streak before the injury, which will sideline him for at least a week as the A’s try to stay in the playoff mix. The club will shuffle the lineup in Gelof’s absence and rely on other veterans and versatility in the field.

Pirates and A’s Find a Surprisingly Pleasant MLB Vibe at West Sacramento’s Minor‑League Park

During a three-game series in West Sacramento, the Pirates and Athletics played at Sutter Health Park, a Triple-A venue the A’s are using while awaiting Las Vegas. The visit yielded a mostly positive reception from players and reporters, with praise for the big‑league atmosphere and amenities, plus some quirks like a cramped visiting clubhouse and the park’s hitter‑friendly conditions that produced multiple homers. Attendance varied, logistics for a postseason run would be tight, and most participants left hoping for a return to a true MLB venue in the future.

Werro fades from record pace as Broeders-Bol shines in 800m debut

Audrey Werro won the Ostrava Golden Spike women's 800m in 1:54.55, missing Jarmila Kratochvilova's 1983 record of 1:53.28 but posting the year’s fastest time; her Stockholm 1:53.98 remains the fastest this year. Femke Broeders-Bol, in her first outdoor 800m after switching from the 400m hurdles, finished second in 1:57.13. The meet also featured Noah Lyles clocking a world-best 14.67 for 150m on a curved track, and eight women going sub-2:00 in the 800m, signaling a deep field.

Vegas slugfest, Cease's return, and Mancini's Angels debut

Nationals rally from a ninth-inning deficit to beat the Giants; in Las Vegas, the Brewers and Athletics combined for a 15–14, 12-inning slugfest with 11 homers. Shea Langeliers hit the longest homer of the season, and late rallies from William Contreras and Jonah Heim helped Milwaukee hold on. Dylan Cease is slated to return for the Blue Jays after a hamstring injury, likely giving Toronto a broader workload soon. Trey Mancini made a quick impact in his Angels debut, driving in a run on his first at-bat and collecting additional hits, as he may share time at first base/DH with Nolan Schanuel sidelined.

Athletics Edge Cubs 2-1 in Tight Pitching Duel

Oakland’s Jump worked seven strong innings to back a 2-1 Athletics win at Wrigley, while Chicago’s Jameson Taillon matched him for most of the night with 6.1 solid frames. The Cubs stifled offensively, seemingly stuck in 18 of 19 outs before Nico Hoerner’s ninth-inning leadoff walk sparked a brief rally that ultimately came up short, as Oakland held on for the win.
