Top Zack Gelof News

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Nearing rehab assignment

    Gelof (wrist) is expected to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

    Gelof has yet to play this season but has resumed taking batting practice and running the bases this week. He will report directly to Triple-A Las Vegas and is expected to get at least 35 at-bats, meaning a mid-May return remains realistic.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Resumes activity

    Gelof (wrist) fielded grounders and threw on the field ahead of Saturday's game against the Mets, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Gelof underwent surgery in March to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist. He still has plenty more boxes to check off before he can begin a rehab assignment, but he at least appears to be trending in the right direction.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Goes on IL

    The Athletics placed Gelof (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Gelof underwent surgery Monday to address a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist, and while an official timeline hasn't been provided by the team, procedures of this sort typically entail a 6-to-8-week recovery, per Jason Burke of SI.com. His injury clears the way for 2021 first-round pick Max Muncy to be included on the Opening Day roster, though it's not clear if the 22-year-old will step in as Gelof's direct replacement at second base. The Athletics could also use Max Schuemann at the position.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Needs surgery for hamate fracture

    Gelof will undergo surgery Monday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Initial X-rays came back negative after Gelof was hit by a pitch on the right hand Wednesday, but additional imaging revealed the fracture. The 25-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return but should be sidelined for at least the first month of the season.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: May receive further testing

    Gelof may undergo further testing on his right hand after not experiencing any improvement since getting hit by a pitch Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    X-rays on Gelof's hand came back negative after he was hit in Wednesday's Cactus League game, though he experienced a bit of swelling which doesn't seem to have gone down. The A's are slightly concerned that Gelof won't be ready for Opening Day, but there is still optimism that he'll recover in time. Max Schuemann would likely be the next man up to start at the keystone if Gelof has to miss time.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: X-rays on hand negative

    Gelof is day-to-day after X-rays on his right hand came back negative, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Gelof was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Guardians but has managed to avoid a major injury. He does have some swelling in the hand, so he will be held out of baseball activities Thursday before being re-evaluated Friday. Barring a setback, Gelof should be fine for Opening Day.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Scheduled for X-rays

    Gelof will undergo precautionary X-rays on his right hand after getting hit by a pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Guardians, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Mark Kotsay said after the game that he believes Gelof will be fine and that the 25-year-old infielder was going to be replaced by a pinch runner after his at-bat anyway. Gelof has had a strong spring so far, slashing .297/.395/.486 with eight RBI in 15 games, and the results of his X-rays will help determine his availability for Opening Day.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Hit by pitch Wednesday

    Gelof was removed in the sixth inning of Wednesday's spring game against Cleveland after being struck by a pitch on his right hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The 25-year-old was immediately replaced by Euribiel Angeles after being hit by a pitch thrown by Paul Sewald, and an update on Gelof's right hand will be issued by the team after the game. Gelof is looking to bounce back from a 2024 campaign in which he registered a 34.4 percent strikeout rate and .632 OPS.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Working on new batting stance

    Gelof has been working on a new batting stance this spring, which appears to be paying off as he's hitting .304 (7-for-23) with a home run, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. "You're always working," Gelof said. "There was definitely a change that needed to be addressed. I'm just doing the best of my ability to address it and be a better player because of it."

    After breaking out to the tune of 14 homers and 14 steals in just 69 games as a rookie, Gelof took a step back last season with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate and just a .632 OPS. Despite his success this spring, he has a concerning 12 strikeouts. His 25 stolen bases were helpful for fantasy teams last year but came with a .211 batting average. Gelof is locked in as the starting second baseman to begin the season.
