Athletics Place Gelof on 10-Day IL With Right Hand Contusion
Oakland placed Zack Gelof on the 10-day injured list with a right hand contusion retroactive to June 24, recalling Alika Williams. Gelof had been a bright spot this season (11 homers, .282/.336/.498, 128 wRC+ in 62 games) and was riding a 24-game hit streak before the injury, which will sideline him for at least a week as the A’s try to stay in the playoff mix. The club will shuffle the lineup in Gelof’s absence and rely on other veterans and versatility in the field.
