Zack Gelof (hand) absent from Wednesday’s lineup

Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Player Stats

Zack Gelof (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Giants.

Gelof appears to have avoided serious injury when his right hand was stepped on by Matt Chapman during Tuesday’s series opener, which subsequently ended his 24-game hitting streak. Athletics manager told reporters afterwards that Gelof is day-to-day after X-rays didn’t reveal any fractures and he didn’t require stitches. The 26-year-old has been phenomenal since the start of June, hitting .329 (23-for-70) with five homers, 10 RBI and two steals during that span. It’ll be veteran Jeff McNeil taking over at the keystone on Wednesday evening.

Jeff McNeil

ATH 2nd Baseman #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jeff McNeil went 4-for-5 with a homer, two doubles and three RBI in leading the A’s to an 8-3 win over the Rangers on Friday.

It’s McNeil’s fourth career game with three extra-base hits; he last did it by collecting two homers and a double in Coors Field in June 2025. McNeil is now sitting at .409/.437/.561 in 21 games in the second half. He even has five steals during the span, which is four more than he had in the first half and two more than he had in 122 games for the Mets last season. As the Athletics’ current leadoff man against righties, he’s worth playing in mixed leagues when the team is at home in West Sacramento.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 and hit his 13th homer Wednesday against the Rays.

Gelof has two homers in three games since coming off the IL. His exit velocity numbers this season aren’t nearly as impressive as his .280/.331/.502 line, but the fantastic home ballpark has helped quite a bit; he’s hitting .321/.362/.593 with 10 homers at home and .222/.287/.374 with three homers on the road.
Tyler Soderstrom

ATH Left Fielder #21

Tyler Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rays.

Soderstrom receives his first day off since July 12. The 24-year-old corner outfielder is hitting .258 (23-for-89) with five homers, 14 RBI and one steal in 23 games since last month’s All-Star break. It’ll be Zack Gelof taking over in left field with Carlos Cortes taking a turn at DH.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI against the Rays on Monday.

Gelof’s home run was his 12th of the year. He hit a solo shot off Freddy Peralta in the fifth inning. Gelof was eased into the lineup batting last in his first game after being activated from the IL. He’s hitting .277 with an .823 OPS and 31 RBI this year.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Athletics activated INF/OF Zack Gelof from the 10-day injured list.

Gelof was putting together an extremely encouraging stretch before hitting the injured list with a right knee laceration back on July 10. He’s back after missing just over one month of action. The 26-year-old offers enough power and speed to be interesting for fantasy purposes when he’s in a groove at the dish, especially since he’s making much more contact of late. He’s hit .273/.327/.476 with 11 homers and eight steals in 247 plate appearances this season. There’s definitely some fantasy appeal in deeper mixed leagues down the home stretch.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof (knee) went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Both of his hits were singles. We should also note that Gelof played center field in this one, which means he would likely return to the Athletics as an outfielder and could cut into playing time for Henry Bolte or Carlos Cortes, rather than take second base reps away from Donovan Walton.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Gelof has been out since July 9th after cutting his knee on the outfield fence while making a sliding catch. He began baseball activities a little over a week ago and is closing in on a return. He will likely need at least a week of games to get his timing back, but he could return to the Athletics’ lineup by the middle of August.
Nick Kurtz

ATH 1st Baseman #16

Nick Kurtz was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Red Sox after being hit by a pitch on the left arm.

This didn’t look good at all. Kurtz was in a great deal of pain after taking a pitch off the left arm from Red Sox starter Patrick Sandoval in the opening frame. It appeared to hit him somewhere in the forearm just above his wrist. He managed to stay in the game initially before being replaced by Jeff McNeil at first base in the second inning. The 23-year-old offensive force will head for further evaluation, including X-rays, to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update his status following the contest.
Nick Kurtz

ATH 1st Baseman #16

Nick Kurtz is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox.

Kurtz has gone 1-for-8 with a three-run homer in a pair of games since coming back from the injured list over the weekend. The 23-year-old offensive force will get a breather with hard-throwing lefty Peyton Tolle toeing the rubber for Boston in this one. It’ll be Jeff McNeil taking over at first base.
Henry Bolte

ATH Center Fielder

Henry Bolte is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks

The rookie has struggled of late, slashing .140/.189/.220 in his last 15 games with a 15/1 K/BB ratio. He’s been mostly solid in his first MLB season, but there remains a chance that the A’s could move Zack Gelof back to the outfield when he returns from his knee injury and keep Tommy White active in the infield. Bolte’s playing time does not seem as guaranteed as it was a few weeks ago.

Masataka Yoshida said he’ll undergo tests on his hamstring once the Red Sox get back to Boston.

He added that his one prior hamstring injury in Japan cost him about a month. Yoshida will almost certainly go on the injured list Sunday after getting hurt running out a double in Saturday’s game. Kristian Campbell could be a candidate to take his spot until Roman Anthony comes off the IL.

Paul Skenes is having his start pushed from Sunday to Wednesday to give him extra rest, manager Don Kelly said.

Skenes’ fastball last time out averaged 95.7 mph, down 1.2 mph from his season average, and he was pulled after just 65 pitches against the Marlins. There’s no injury being disclosed, but obviously something isn’t quite right. “Everyone is dealing with stuff this year,” Kelly said. “But he’s given us no indication that it’s injury related.” The Pirates will have Lake Backar open in Skenes’ place.

Sonny Gray tossed seven scoreless innings and got the win in the Red Sox’ 4-0 victory over the Pirates on Saturday.

Gray gave up six hits, walked one and struck out seven. He improved to 15-3 with the win. Gray is quietly in the middle of one of the best seasons of his career at age-36. His 2.65 ERA is his first sub-3.00 ERA since 2023 with the Twins and his 15 wins are a career-high. With about six weeks still left in the regular season, he could flirt with 20 wins. Gray will face the Giants at home in his next start on Friday.

Connor Prielipp allowed eight runs in five innings and took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday.

Prielipp gave up eight hits, walked four and struck out six. He fell to 3-6 with the loss. While the Phillies hit Prielipp hard, he helped hold Kyle Schwarber to an 0-for-5 and allowed just a single and a walk to Bryce Harper. The only extra-base hits against Prielipp were two doubles by Alec Bohm and a three-run home run by Bryston Stott. Prielipp has a 5.34 ERA, but his 4.02 xFIP shows he’s been unlucky this year. He’s lined up to face the Padres on the road next weekend.
