On Saturday, he underwent an MRI that revealed no injury.\n\nThe player did not start in the lineup for the second game of the three-game series.\n\nThe trouble began after Friday&#8217;s batting practice. After getting a walk in the game, Kurtz, while running home from third base after a double by Brent Rooker in the third inning, seemed to aggravate the ailment, slowing his speed.\n\nAlthough Kurtz scored to tie the score 2-2, he went to the clubhouse immediately after, accompanied by the team&#8217;s medical staff.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There is no tension in the muscle tissue, but Kurtz is dealing with the pain.<\/p><cite>Mark Kotsay<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nKotsay did not specify when Kurtz will return.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We hope to have him back as soon as possible.<\/p><cite>Mark Kotsay<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nKurtz, known for his power since Wake Forest, presents a batting average of .308 with 23 doubles, two triples, 27 home runs, and 70 RBIs in the current season.\n\nIt&#8217;s one of three players in the Major Leagues who have hit four home runs in a single game this season.\n\nKurtz made history by being the first rookie in league history to hit four home runs in a game. In addition, he tied the MLB record for total bases with 19 in the July 25 game against the Houston Astros.
