The Athletics placed rookie first baseman Nick Kurtz on the 10-day injured list as part of a series of transactions Tuesday.
Kurtz, whose designation is retroactive to Sunday, is dealing with a strained left hip flexor.
The A’s also called up outfielder Drew Avans from Triple-A Las Vegas, acquired left-hander Sean Newcomb from the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations, and designated left-hander Matt Krook and right-hander Ryan Cusick for assignment.
Kurtz, 22, was injured during Saturday’s 11-inning home loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. He rookie is batting .245 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 28 games this season.
Avans, 28, has yet to make his major league debut. He is batting .328 with four homers, 34 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 48 games with the Aviators this season.
Newcomb, 31, was 0-4 with a 3.95 ERA in 12 games (five starts) this season, his first with the Red Sox. He played for the A’s from 2023-24, going 2-1 with a 4.32 ERA in 14 games (two starts).
Krook, 30, has no decisions and a 5.40 ERA in 3 1/3 innings in three appearances out of the Athletics’ bullpen this season.
Cusick, 25, has never pitched in the majors. He is 1-0 with a 6.75 ERA in 13 games out of the Las Vegas bullpen this season. He was a first-round pick of the Atlanta Braves in 2021.
