Zack Gelof Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Oblique Strain

Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof sidelined early in the season, raising concerns over team's performance.

Zack Gelof, Oakland Athletics' second baseman, was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday due to a left oblique strain.
The injury occurred during pregame drills before Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees, and an MRI confirmed a Grade 1 strain.
Gelof's absence is a significant blow to the A's, as he had started all 24 games of the season and is considered a key player in the team's lineup.
Infielder Darell Hernaiz has been recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill in, highlighting the team's depth challenges.
Manager Mark Kotsay expressed hope that the injury is minor and that Gelof will return soon, emphasizing the importance of early detection and cautious management.
