Zack Gelof Steals Two Bags in First Rehab Game
Zack Gelof (hand, ribs) went 0-for-1 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in his first minor-league rehab game on Tuesday night with Triple-A Las Vegas as the designated hitter and leadoff man for the Aviators in a 7-0 shutout win over Triple-A Sugar Land. Gelof is getting closer to making his 2025 debut after suffering a fractured hamate bone in his right hand back in spring training in mid-March. The 25-year-old would have already returned by now, but then he suffered a stress reaction in his ribs last month. When the former second-rounder is cleared to return to the big leagues, he's expected to take over starting second base duties from Luis Urias. The Virginia product led the league with 188 strikeouts in 2024 but also hit 17 bombs and stole 25 bags in 138 games. Gelof's power/speed combo at least makes him valuable as a middle infielder in deep mixed leagues.
