2026 Fantasy Outlook

Cortes, after amassing nearly 1200 Triple-A plate appearnces and just over 2600 minor league plate appearances, finally reached the majors in 2025. The outfielder climbed his way out of a high profile program at the University of South Carolina through the Mets system before being released after the 2024 season. The Athletics added him on a minor league deal last winter and watched him hit .322/.414/.603 with their Triple-A club and gave him 42 games with the big league club. Cortes made the most of that time and is certainly in the mix for an admittedly crowded outfield depth chart on the roster. However, it was the first time he really has shown the ability to hit for average and it coincided nicely with him playing in the Pacific Coast League as well as Las Vegas. He will likely ride the Vegas to Sacramento regional flight a few times this season unless he shows in camp that he has tapped into some unrealized potential with his swing. Read Past Outlooks

Making third straight start

July 5, 2026

Cortes will start in left field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Analysis
After going 4-for-8 with a double and two runs over the first two contests of the series, Cortes will be rewarded with a third straight start. He hadn't made any starts in the Athletics' 11 contests before that while he finished June in the midst of a 2-for-33 skid at the plate, but Cortes looks like he'll have a pathway to more consistent playing time after Tyler Soderstrom (hip) recently joined Brent Rooker (knee) on the injured list. Max Muncy and Colby Thomas loom as Cortes' main challengers for reps against right-handed pitching, but both Muncy and Thomas have started in just one of the Athletics' three games versus Miami.
