Zack Gelof Injury: Set to start rehab assignment

Gelof (ribs) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof has been out of commission since mid-March after suffering a fractured hamate bone in his right hand. Additionally, while on a minor-league rehab assignment in May, the infielder sustained a stress reaction in his ribs, which put him back on the shelf for over a month. Gelof posted a .211 average with 17 home runs, 49 RBI, 60 runs scored and 25 stolen bases over 138 games with the Athletics in 2024. Luis Urias has been productive at the plate (113 wRC+) while filling in at second base, but Gelof may push Urias to a utility role once activated.
