Player Outlook
After breaking out to the tune of 14 homers and 14 steals in just 69 games as a rookie, Zack Gelof endured the dreaded sophomore slump last season. He struggled mightily with strikeouts, fanning an AL-worst 188 times, which resulted in a 56-point drop in batting average to .211. Gelof showed signs of recovery in June only to post OPS marks below .700 in each of the final three months. The Athletics had nothing to lose and kept Gelof on the field at second base, affording him the opportunity to rack up 17 homers and 25 steals across 547 plate appearances. Gelof and the rest of the A's will be playing their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento in 2025 -- home of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats of the Pacific Coast League -- which would seem to bode well for the offense. The pressure will be on for Gelof to bounce back and prove he should be considered part of the organization's long-term future.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Goes on IL

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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: Hit by pitch Wednesday

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Not in lineup

    Rotowire
    Gelof isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners. Gelof went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts and notched his 25th stolen base during Friday's contest, and he'll now give way to Max Schuemann at second base while Tyler Nevin enters the lineup to fill the opening at third.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Scores game-winning run Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday. Gelof snapped a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning with his sacrifice fly, which plated Shea Langeliers. He eventually scored the game-winning run on Jacob Wilson's walk-off single in the penultimate night game for the Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. The eventful night was an extension of a productive all-around month for Gelof despite some persistent contact issues, as he's generated a .278 average, .715 OPS, eight extra-base hits, seven RBI, five steals and nine runs across 84 September plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Homer, steal in extra-innings win

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Astros. Gelof notched his second multi-hit effort in a row and extended his hitting streak to six games. He's also swiped a bag in three straight games. The second baseman is up to 17 homers, 23 steals, 45 RBI, 56 runs scored and a .211/.273/.376 slash line through 121 contests overall.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Up to 21 steals

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Tigers on Saturday. Gelof extended his hitting streak to four games while also recording his fourth steal in the last 11 contests. Gelof has picked up the pace at the plate of late, hitting .269 over his last seven games and knocking four of his seven hits during that span for extra bases. Nevertheless, his contact issues persist, with Gelof sitting on a 32.9 percent strikeout rate over the 43 games he's played since the All-Star break.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Belts pair of doubles Sunday

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 3-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Gelof was part of an afternoon that featured plenty of squandered opportunities with men on base by the Athletics, who parlayed 16 hits into only four runs. However, the young infielder did cash in on one of the two times he came to bat with runners in scoring position, driving in Seth Brown with his 10th-inning double to extend the Athletics' lead to 4-2 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Gelof's third in the last eight games, one of the better stretches of hitting for him during a season in which his slash line still stands at an anemic but moderately improving .206/.270/.371.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Rare three-hit effort Saturday

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday. Gelof made plenty of noise out of his No. 8 spot in the order, recording his second three-hit game of August but only his fifth all season with at least that many knocks. After a poor start to the current month, Gelof has finally started to show signs of life at the plate by posting a .286 average and .796 OPS across the 63 plate appearances covering his last 16 games.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Productive on basepaths in win

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Monday. Gelof wreaked some havoc during the pair of occasions he reached safely, coming home with his 39th and 40th runs of the season while also recording his 14th steal. Yet, Gelof's busy night on the bases notwithstanding, he's mired in the midst of another nightmarish stretch at the plate, one that's seen him hit .077 (2-for-26) over his last nine games and drop his season slash line to an anemic .188/.258/.349 in the process.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Resting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Gelof is absent from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels. Gelof will get his first day off since June 26, yielding to Abraham Toro at second base. Gelof has logged a .613 OPS and a 35.0 percent strikeout rate in 340 plate appearances this season.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Timely knock in big win

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Orioles on Saturday. Gelof contributed to the Athletics' astounding seven-run second inning, lacing a two-bagger to left field that plated Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers. The 24-year-old is enduring a tougher-than-expected second big-league season after setting high expectations a rookie in 2023, but he's showing a bit of life at the plate of late with a .257 average and .794 OPS across 41 plate appearances in his last 10 games. Nevertheless, his Achilles heel continues to be consistent contact -- even during that encouraging stretch, Gelof has struck out at a bloated 39.0 percent clip.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Reaches 10-steal mark

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Angels. The steal was Gelof's 10th of the year. He's picked up two of those thefts during an eight-game stretch in which he's gone 7-for-27 with a 4:13 BB:K. The second baseman is at a .201/.263/.361 slash line with nine home runs, 23 RBI and 30 runs scored over 67 contests, and his 36.2 percent strikeout rate is weighing down the rest of his stat line.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Gets aboard four times in win

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks. Gelof had gone 2-for-17 over his previous five contests before his big game Friday. The second baseman's triple was his second of the campaign and his first extra-base hit since June 20. He's at a .205/.259/.362 slash line with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 25 runs scored and nine steals across 62 games this year.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Getting afternoon off

    Rotowire
    Gelof is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. Gelof will miss out on a start for the first time since June 16, when he was on the bench for the front end of a doubleheader with the Twins. While Gelof receives a breather, Armando Alvarez will be rewarded with a second straight start in the Oakland infield after banging out three hits in his first MLB start in Tuesday's 7-5 loss.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Homers in third straight game

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Royals on Thursday. Gelof temporarily tied the score with his two-run shot off Seth Lugo in the seventh inning. After a slow start to the season, the second baseman has perked up with the bat of late, going deep in each of his past three contests and driving in seven runs across his past four games. Gelof's strikeout woes have continued over that span, though, as he's fanned eight times to push his strikeout rate on the season up to an ugly 34.7 percent.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Homers again in win

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Royals. Gelof has homered in back-to-back games and has hit four of his seven long balls this year in June. The second baseman has gone 8-for-29 (.276) over his last eight contests. For the season, he's at a .196/.250/.348 slash line with 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight stolen bases, though hitting at or near the bottom of a weak lineup is unlikely to do any favors for his counting stats.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Fills box score Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Gelof went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, one stolen base and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Royals. Gelof took Alec Marsh deep in the fourth inning to provide the Athletics with enough offense to weather the Royals' comeback attempt. This was Gelof's third multi-hit effort in his last seven games, though the homer was his first since June 5. The second baseman is starting to put together better at-bats, but he's still at a .195/.250/.335 slash line with six homers, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 54 contests this season.
