Zach Gelof, the A's second baseman, has been sidelined from his minor league rehab assignment due to a stress reaction in his ribs, preventing him from swinging a bat. This follows an earlier injury that cost him the start of the season. The team has yet to provide a return timeline. Despite initial struggles from rookie Max Muncy at second base, the A's have turned to offseason addition UrÃas, who has shown better performance in recent games. Gelof's drop in performance from his rookie season raises concerns for his future play.
The A's are pulling back from his minor league rehab assignment after Gelof sustained a stress reaction in his ribs, halting his recovery process.
Initially, the A's relied on rookie Max Muncy at second base, but he struggled significantly, leading to his optioning and UrÃas taking over handling the position.
Gelof's disappointing second season saw a significant drop in performance compared to his impressive rookie year, marked by a high strikeout rate and low batting average.
The A's may eventually transfer Gelof to the 60-day injured list for roster management, retroactively effective to Opening Day despite his recent injury.
