Goes on IL The Athletics placed Gelof (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Needs surgery for hamate fracture Gelof will undergo surgery Monday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact 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 expected to be sidelined for at least the first month of the season.

May receive further testing 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.

Impact 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.

X-rays on hand are negative Gelof is day-to-day after X-rays on his right hand came back negative, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gelof was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Guardians but has managed to avoid a major injury. He does have some swelling in the hand, so he will be held out of baseball activities Thursday before being re-evaluated Friday. Barring a setback, Gelof should be fine for Opening Day.

Scheduled for X-rays Gelof will undergo precautionary X-rays on his right hand after getting hit by a pitch in Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Guardians, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Mark Kotsay said after the game that he believes Gelof will be fine and that the 25-year-old infielder was going to be replaced by a pinch-runner after his at-bat anyway. Gelof has had a solid spring so far, slashing .297/.395/.486 with eight RBI in 15 games, and the results of his X-ray will help determine his availability for Opening Day.

Hit by pitch Wednesday Gelof was removed in the sixth inning of Wednesday's spring game against Cleveland after being hit by a pitch on his left elbow, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gelof was immediately replaced by Euribiel Angeles after being hit by a pitch thrown by Paul Sewald, and an update on Gelof's left elbow 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.

Impact 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% 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.

Not in lineup Gelof isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches 25-steal mark Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Gelof's bat has faded late in the season -- he's 6-for-40 (.150) over his last 11 games with two steals in that span. The second baseman is up to 25 steals on 28 attempts this year, offering some positives with his speed despite a difficult campaign at the plate. He's added a .211/.271/.364 slash line with 17 home runs, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples over 136 contests.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores game-winning run Tuesday Gelof went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact 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 as well in the penultimate 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.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another three hits Saturday Gelof went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a walk in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday.

Impact Gelof continued terrorizing White Sox pitching in the narrow loss, following up a 2-for-4 night that had included an RBI double in Friday's series opener. Gelof now has hit safely in nine of the last 10 games and has multi-hit efforts in four of the last six contests, finally displaying some of the offensive potential he'd shown during his rookie 2023 campaign following a mostly difficult first five months of the season.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot in win Gelof went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Gelof provided one of only two extra-base knocks for the Athletics while generating his third multi-hit effort in the last five games. Gelof's bat has seemingly woken from its season-long slumber in September, as he kicked off the month with a three-hit tally and has posted a .304 average, .812 OPS, six extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and six runs across 48 plate appearances. His contact issues persist -- even in that productive sample, he's still struck out at a 31.3 percent clip -- but he's been able to raise his season average to .212, a meager figure that's nevertheless at its highest point since July 9.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homer, steal in extra-innings win 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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot Sunday Gelof went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Tigers.

Impact Gelof's posted a steal in back-to-back contests and has hit safely in five straight games. Over eight games in September, he's batting .310 (9-for-29) with three thefts. The second baseman has had a rough first full campaign in the majors, though a hot September wouldn't be unusual, as he slashed .273/.350/.455 over his last 28 games in 2023. This year, he's at a .209/.272/.369 slash line with 16 home runs, 22 steals, 44 RBI and 54 runs scored through 120 contests.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Up to 21 steals Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact 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, now 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.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Belts pair of doubles Sunday 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.

Impact Gelof was part of an afternoon that featured plenty of squandered opportunities with men on base with 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 the 10th 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 where his slash line still stands at an anemic but moderately improving .206/.270/.371.
