Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz may be in danger of missing the rest of the season because of his injured right thumb. Manager Mark Kotsay told reporters before his team’s game against Tampa Bay on Tuesday that Kurtz needs to be in a brace for four weeks following a platelet-rich plasma injection on Aug. 4. Kotsay alluded to the fact that four weeks without mobility for Kurtz could make a return before the end of September difficult to envision.
