Zack Gelof to Start Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
Zack Gelof (hand, ribs) will start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Las Vegas and will serve as the Aviators' designated hitter, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Gelof has been out of action since mid-March in spring training when he fractured the hamate bone in his right hand, and then the 25-year-old suffered a stress reaction in his ribs while on a rehab assignment last month. He has yet to play for the A's in 2025, but barring another setback on his current rehab assignment, it's possible that he'll be back with the big-league squad by next week. Once he's back, Gelof will have a shot to take over starting duties at second base in Sacramento. Gelof hit 14 bombs and stole 14 bags in 69 games in his rookie season in 2023. He struck out a league-high 188 times in 2024 but added 17 homers and 25 steals in 138 games, so the power/speed upside is intriguing.
