A's place second baseman Zack Gelof on injured list with left oblique strain
NEW YORK (AP) — Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof was put on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a strained left oblique.
Gelof was a late scratch from Wednesday’s game after feeling pain during his pregame routine and an MRI showed the low-grade strain. The IL move was retroactive to Wednesday.
“He went through his pregame routine and we decided to take a cautious side and I think if it was into September, he probably would have played, though, if you asked him but being that it’s April, I’m glad we’re erring on the side of caution,” manager Mark Kotsay said before Oakland’s series finale against the New York Yankees.
Gelof is hitting .196 with two homers and two RBIs in 24 games. His two-run, ninth-inning homer Monday off Victor González lifted the A’s to a 2-0 win.
Gelof started in Oakland’s first 24 games. Abraham Toro and rookie Max Schuemann likely will split time at second base until the former first-round pick returns.
