Carlos Cortes, a former third-round pick, made a splash in his debut with the Oakland Athletics, batting .309 with power and impressive outfield play. Despite low expectations, his hot streak changed the narrative. However, with Tyler Soderstroms success in left field, Cortes may start in triple-A as injury insurance. He could still carve out a backup role or pinch-hitting spot, as the As lack other lefty outfield options.
