Multi-RBI effort in win Gelof went 2-for-5 with a two-run double, another two-bagger and a run in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Impact Gelof's fourth-inning two-bagger knocked in Esteury Ruiz and Jonah Bride to cap off a five-run outburst. The rookie pushed his RBI total to an impressive 23 with the timely two-bagger and snapped a rare 1-for-18 slump that had encompassed his last five games as well. Gelof has demonstrated a welcome knack for clutch hitting early in his career, posting a .905 OPS across his first 43 plate appearances with men in scoring position.

Grabs steal in loss Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Gelof's bat has cooled off a bit lately -- he's gone eight games without a multi-hit effort. He's added just two steals while batting .156 (5-for-32) in that span. For the season, the second baseman has a .276/.343/.566 slash line with nine steals, 10 home runs, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored over 39 contests.

Continues solid rookie campaign Gelof went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the White Sox in an 8-5 win Thursday.

Impact Gelof's seventh-inning two-run shot was a big one, as it broke what had been a 5-5 tie. It was the rookie's 10th long ball in just his 35th major-league game -- no other player in Athletics history has achieved that feat, per the team's PR department. Gelof has added 24 runs, 11 doubles, 19 RBI, eight thefts and a .294/.360/.610 slash line while providing considerable excitement for what has otherwise been a dismal season in Oakland.

Picks up eighth steal Gelof went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Gelof continues to do it all for the Athletics. He's gone 23-for-59 (.390) with four home runs and three steals over his last 15 games. The second baseman is up to eight thefts, nine homers, 17 RBI, 23 runs scored and a steady .305/.373/.617 slash line through 33 contests this season, cementing himself firmly as a starter and the No. 2 hitter in the lineup.

Impact Gelof gave Oakland a 2-1 lead in the third inning with his 428-foot solo shot to center field.

Gelof has been red-hot of late, batting .441 (15-for-34) with three homers, three doubles, six RBI and a stolen base over his past eight games.

Keeps raking Wednesday Gelof went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact The rookie second baseman has been on fire since the calendar flipped to August. Over his last 14 games, Gelof is slashing .370/.424/.778 with 12 of his 20 hits (seven doubles and five homers) going for extra-bases, and he's added 10 runs, 10 RBI and two steals for good measure. The A's have cycled through a number of young position players this season with erratic results, but Gelof is quickly emerging as the best of the bunch.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers twice Sunday Gelof went 4-for-5 with two home runs in Sunday's 8-7 loss against the Nationals.

Impact Gelof opened the scoring with a solo home run off Trevor Williams in the first inning before adding a second long ball in the fifth. The 23-year-old second-baseman is up to eight homers this season, with three coming in his last four games. Gelof's now slashing .281/.343/.635 with 18 runs scored, 13 RBI and six stolen bases across 105 plate appearances in an impressive rookie campaign.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Smacks sixth homer Wednesday Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact Gelof made the most noise on either team during a night in which both teams were quiet offensively. The rookie has now left the yard in five of the last 11 games, and he's laced 13 of his first 21 big-league hits overall for extra bases.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Thrives in Sunday's win Gelof went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Gelof authored one of a trio of three-hit efforts for the Athletics on the afternoon and his fourth multi-hit tally in the last seven games overall. The rookie has been as good as anticipated following his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas, and he's opened August by going 7-for-18 with Sunday's double, two solo home runs, a pair of walks, Sunday's steal and four total runs over his first five games of the month.

Finding power groove Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Gelof homered for the third time in his last four games, though he's also struck out eight times without a walk in that span. The second baseman is already up to four homers in his first 15 major-league contests. He's batting .237 with seven RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases. While a 32.8 percent strikeout rate is too lofty for long-term success, his mix of power and speed could be intriguing in many fantasy formats.

Busy in Saturday's win Gelof went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, two stolen bases and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Rockies.

Impact Gelof was able to make an impact with power and speed, providing a taste of what the top prospect can do at his best. He's homered in consecutive contests and is up to three long balls over 13 games in his big-league career. The second baseman has added five steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored through 56 plate appearances.

Launches second homer Gelof went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

Impact Gelof squared up for his second career round-tripper in the fifth inning with Tony Kemp aboard to extend the Athletics' lead to 7-1 at the time. The rookie had gone into the game mired in a 1-for-12 slump that had encompassed his previous three games, although he'd reached safely in seven of his first eight big-league games prior to the brief skid. Gelof will undoubtedly continue to experience his share of bumps in the road as he acclimates to big-league arms, but he's demonstrated plenty of upside thus far by lacing seven of his first 10 hits for extra bases while also pulling off three steals in four attempts.

Picks up third steal Gelof went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.

Impact Gelof's gone hitless in just three of his first 10 major-league games, with his 0-fer Tuesday ending a modest four-game streak. The second baseman was able to pick up his third steal and his first since he swiped two bags July 15. He's batting .250 with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored while often batting first or second in the Athletics' weak-hitting lineup.

Hits first major-league homer Gelof went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Astros.

Impact Gelof padded the Athletics' lead in the seventh inning with his first major-league homer, which came in his eighth game. He's done a lot of other things right so far, racking up three doubles, a triple and two stolen bases while working as the primary second baseman since his July 14 debut, though he's also added a 4:9 BB:K. Trimming the strikeout rate will likely be a key to his fantasy usefulness, though his speed is already showing up after he stole 20 bases in 69 games for Triple-A Las Vegas.

On base thrice in loss Gelof went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Impact Gelof worked out of the No. 2 spot in the order for the third time in his first seven games and did a good job getting on base for the heart of the Athletics' lineup. That paid off on one of the three occasions the rookie reached safely, with Gelof crossing the plate with the fourth run of his big-league career on Jordan Diaz's bases-loaded walk in the fifth. Gelof has impressively gotten on in six of the first seven contests of his career and has already generated a trio of extra-base hits, although he's still in search of his first home run.

JULY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Wednesday Gelof is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Gelof will hit the bench for the first time since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas following the All-Star break. While starting at second base in each of his first five big-league contests, Gelof went 4-for-19 with two doubles, one triple, one walk, three runs, two RBI and two stolen bases. Jordan Diaz will spell him at the keystone in the series finale.
