Zack Gelof Placed on Injured List With Hand Injury
The Athletics are placing infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof (hand) on the 10-day injured list with a laceration and contusion on his hand that he suffered on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Hopefully, Gelof will only need to spend the minimum 10 days on the IL with what seemed like a relatively minor injury. Until then, Max Muncy should see most of the playing time at the hot corner in Sacramento for the A's. Gelof's injury comes at a really bad time, as the 26-year-old former second-rounder in 2021 out of the University of Virginia had just started to find his stride offensively in 2026 in his fourth MLB season. Through 62 games and 228 plate appearances so far this year, Gelof has hit .282 (59-for-209) with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 40 runs scored, and eight stolen bases. In 19 games in June, he's gone 23-for-70 (.329) with five homers, six doubles, 10 RBI, 19 runs, and two steals in 78 plate appearances. Gelof's recent hot streak made him a priority waiver-wire target in fantasy leagues, and he's currently rostered in 66% of Yahoo leagues for his power/speed upside in a hitter-friendly home ballpark.
