Gelof was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with a left shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He was immediately replaced at second base following the incident and will presumably head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day until the team provides more details about the second baseman's status.
