Athletics Place Zack Gelof On Injured List

MLB Trade Rumors • June 25, 2026 • sports

Key Points:

The Athletics placed infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 24 due to a right hand contusion sustained during a game against the Giants.
Gelof was injured when Giants third baseman Matt Chapman stepped on his hand while being tagged out; he will miss at least a week but does not require stitches or have fractures.
Gelof had been enjoying a strong 2024 season, hitting .282 with 11 home runs and a 24.1% strikeout rate over 62 games, including a 24-game hitting streak prior to the injury.
Known for his defensive versatility, Gelof has been playing multiple positions this season, primarily second and third base, and his absence leaves the Athletics without one of their best offensive contributors.
The A’s, currently 38-42 and close to a playoff spot, will rely on Max Muncy and Jeff McNeil to fill Gelof’s infield roles, though both players have struggled offensively this year.
