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

April 12, 2026

Cortes will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Mets.

Analysis
Cortes will crack the Athletics lineup for the fourth time in five games, with the last three starts coming at DH. The 28-year-old looks as though he'll be in line for regular playing time against righties while Brent Rooker (oblique) is on the shelf. Cortes has wielded a hot bat in the early going, slashing .333/.455/.611 with three extra-base knocks in 22 plate appearances.
