Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Returns to action Sunday
Kurtz (hand) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Cubs in Cactus League play.
Kurtz returned to action for the first time since March 15, when he was removed from a game against the Rangers after being hit in the right hand by a pitch. He served as a backup designated hitter Sunday, but Kurtz could be ready to play first base when the minor-league season opens. Widely viewed as the top prospect in the Athletics' system, Kurtz was officially reassigned to minor-league camp March 10 but has continued to make occasional Cactus League appearances since that time. He's turned in an excellent spring with a .974 OPS in 31 plate appearances.

Athletics' Colby Thomas: Returns to action over weekend
Thomas (knee) played in Cactus League games Saturday and Sunday and went a combined 2-for-5 with a home run, an additional run and two RBI while playing 13 innings in left field.
Thomas' pair of appearances were his first since March 15, when he exited a game against the Rangers after taking a line drive off his right knee. The outfielder had already been reassigned to minor-league camp March 10, so the injury wasn't a factor in him not making the Opening Day roster. Thomas is expected to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Sacramento.

Athletics' Max Muncy: Makes Opening Day roster
Muncy will make the Athletics' Opening Day roster, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Muncy will be set to make his major-league debut when the A's begin their 2025 campaign on the road against Seattle on Thursday. The infielder has produced a .289 average with one home run, seven RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over 38 at-bats ion 23 games during spring training. Muncy could begin the year as a starting option at second base due to Zack Gelof (hand) being unavailable for multiple weeks.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Needs surgery for hamate fracture
Gelof will undergo surgery Monday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Initial X-rays came back negative after Gelof was hit by a pitch on the right hand Wednesday, but additional imaging revealed the fracture. The 25-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return but should be sidelined for at least the first month of the season.

Athletics' Max Muncy: Could begin season in majors
Muncy could begin the season in the majors if Zack Gelof begins the season on the injured list due to a hand injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. "Muncy has done a great job," said manager Mark Kotsay. "He's leaving a great impression and building confidence that he's knocking on the door to be here with this group."
Muncy is hitting .314 (11-for-35) this spring. It's still likely a longshot that he makes the roster since Gelof may only be out a short time, but the comments from the manager are notable. The A's more likely will want one of their top prospects playing every day at Triple-A.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: May receive further testing
Gelof may undergo further testing on his right hand after not experiencing any improvement since getting hit by a pitch Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
X-rays on Gelof's hand came back negative after he was hit in Wednesday's Cactus League game, though he experienced a bit of swelling which doesn't seem to have gone down. The A's are slightly concerned that Gelof won't be ready for Opening Day, but there is still optimism that he'll recover in time. Max Schuemann would likely be the next man up to start at the keystone if Gelof has to miss time.

Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Hot spring at plate continues
Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a home run in Friday's spring training win over Kansas City. He's hitting .316 (12-for-38) with two home runs this spring.
Langeliers is set to return as the starting catcher and could improve upon the 29 home runs and .738 OPS he posted last season with the move to a more hitter-friendly home park.

Athletics' Michel Otanez: Will begin season on injured list
Otanez (shoulder) will begin the season on the 15-day injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Otanez is just a few days into a 10-day shutdown period with a right shoulder impingement, so it's not a surprise he'll require an IL stint. How long that stint lasts will depend on how Otanez's shoulder responds to rest and a subsequent throwing program.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: X-rays on hand negative
Gelof is day-to-day after X-rays on his right hand came back negative, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Guardians but has managed to avoid a major injury. He does have some swelling in the hand, so he will be held out of baseball activities Thursday before being re-evaluated Friday. Barring a setback, Gelof should be fine for Opening Day.

Athletics' CJ Alexander: Falls short of roster spot
The Athletics optioned Alexander to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.
Alexander was in the running for a reserve job but ultimately fell short. He will head to Las Vegas, where he'll provide depth at the corner infield and outfield spots.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Wins spot in rotation
Bido has won a spot in the Athletics' rotation, manager Mark Kotsay told Martin Gallegos of MLB.com on Wednesday.
Bido entered camp with seemingly a lock on a rotation spot but has struggled with a 9.24 ERA this spring with five home runs allowed in 10.2 innings. That left a little uncertainty for his spot in the rotation until this announcement. Bido made a strong impression with a 3.41 ERA and 24.3 percent strikeout rate last season. He could be a late bloomer at age 29.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Scheduled for X-rays
Gelof will undergo precautionary X-rays on his right hand after getting hit by a pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Guardians, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Manager Mark Kotsay said after the game that he believes Gelof will be fine and that the 25-year-old infielder was going to be replaced by a pinch runner after his at-bat anyway. Gelof has had a strong spring so far, slashing .297/.395/.486 with eight RBI in 15 games, and the results of his X-rays will help determine his availability for Opening Day.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Hit by pitch Wednesday
Gelof was removed in the sixth inning of Wednesday's spring game against Cleveland after being struck by a pitch on his right hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old was immediately replaced by Euribiel Angeles after being hit by a pitch thrown by Paul Sewald, and an update on Gelof's right hand will be issued by the team after the game. Gelof is looking to bounce back from a 2024 campaign in which he registered a 34.4 percent strikeout rate and .632 OPS.

Athletics' Mitch Spence: Beginning season in bullpen
Spence will begin the season in the Athletics' bullpen, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The A's will go with Joey Estes as their fifth starter over Spence, who allowed nine runs (eight earned) with a 7:3 K:BB over 11.2 innings this spring. Spence is likely to operate in long relief and should be the first guy called upon when the Athletics are in need of a fill-in starter.

Athletics' Joey Estes: Wins final spot in rotation
Estes will open the season as the fifth starter in the Athletics rotation, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
He'll receive the spot over Mitch Spence, who will begin the season in the bullpen. Estes spent the bulk of the 2024 campaign in the rotation, finishing with a 5.01 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 92:27 K:BB over 127.2 innings. His leash on a starting job could be fairly short.

Athletics' Shotaro Morii: Will be developed as two-way player
Morrii will be developed as a two-way player after signing for $1,510,500 million - the largest signing bonus for a Japanese amateur to not play for Nippon Professional Baseball, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. He had an exit velocity of 110.1 mph of his bat in Friday's Spring Breakout game, where he served as the DH.
Morrii is an 18-year-old Japanese two-way phenom who skipped Japan's professional league (NPB) draft to come to MLB. He thows 95 mph as a pitcher as well. It's a curious and unique decision to develop him as a two-way player. He's expected to begin the season in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Athletics' Noah Murdock: Secures roster spot
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay informed Murdock on Monday that he's made the Opening Day roster, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
A Rule 5 selection from the Royals over the winter, Murdock earned a spot on the 26-man roster by allowing just three runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 7.2 Cactus League innings. The tall right-hander should operate in low-leverage relief situations for the Athletics initially.

Athletics' Luis Severino: Draws Opening Day start
The Athletics announced Monday that Severino will start their March 27 season opener versus the Mariners in Seattle, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Severino became the obvious choice to take the hill for the Athletics on Opening Day the moment he signed a three-year, $67 million contract in December, the largest guaranteed deal in franchise history. After injuries limited him to fewer than 20 starts in each of his final five seasons with the Yankees from 2019 through 2023, Severino proved to be durable in his lone campaign with the Mets in 2024, turning in a 3.91 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 31 starts. The Athletics are banking on the 31-year-old Severino avoiding the pitfalls on the health front that plagued him throughout his twenties and emerging as a capable innings eater at the front of the rotation in 2025.
