Athletics Hit by IL Hurdles as Kurtz and Gelof Go Down

Oakland will place Nick Kurtz on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb strain, jeopardizing his All-Star chances despite a .902 OPS and 20 homers in 92 games. Teammate Zack Gelof also heads to the IL with a knee laceration after a wall collision, prompting the recalled Joey Meneses to take his roster spot. Gelof had a 120 wRC+ in 67 games, and the A’s are reshuffling around the break with Soderström and Wilson back in the lineup as Meneses starts at first base.

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.

A’s Shorthanded as Rooker Lands on IL, Gelof Recalled

Oakland placed Brent Rooker on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain and recalled Zack Gelof to take his spot, creating more flexibility for DH and lineup rotations as Rooker’s slow start continues and Gelof eyes increased at-bats in the outfield/second base; obliques can linger, but Rooker’s prior power suggests the A’s hope to weather the loss.

Rooker’s potential injury tests A’s depth as Ginn gets first start, Perkins recalled

Brent Rooker left Oakland’s win over the Yankees with right flank/oblique discomfort and will undergo imaging to rule out an oblique strain, a condition that could sideline him for weeks; if he’s out, Zack Gelof is the likely replacement given his torrid Triple-A start, while Jeff McNeil could gain DH opportunities; J.T. Ginn will start the weekend series against the Mets after three relief appearances, with Jack Perkins recalled to provide long relief; the A’s, who took 2 of 3 from the Yankees, stay in New York for a Mets series.

A’s Spring Watch: Muncy Surges at Third as Gelof Hopes to Rebound

Oakland’s camp is narrowing in on third base, with 23-year-old Max Muncy emerging as the front-runner after a standout spring and solid Triple-A showing, though defense remains a focus as he transitions from shortstop. Zack Gelof, back from injuries, debuted in Cactus League action and is aiming to prove his versatility and earn a roster spot, while Gunnar Hoglund’s spring has been hampered by knee and back issues, making Triple-A the likely route even if healthy. Jeff McNeil is at second base, reshaping infield roles as the A’s evaluate their options.
