"The A's will place Gelof on the 10-day injured list tomorrow, and needless to say, Gelof's 2025 season is now officially over. The dislocated shoulder is a rough ending to a season already marked by notable injuries for the 25-year-old infielder, as hamate bone surgery and then a stress reaction in his ribcage prevented Gelof from making his 2025 debut until July 4."
"From there, Gelof had just two hits over his first 28 plate appearances before the A's opted to send him back down to Triple-A. Gelof was recalled in late August but hasn't done much better, posting a .606 OPS over 71 PA between August 25 and September 18. For the season as a whole, Gelof has a miserable 35 wRC+ from a .174/.230/.272 slash line and two home runs over 101 plate appearances."
"This makes it back-to-back disappointing seasons for Gelof in the wake of his big 2023 rookie season. That seeming breakout made it look like Gelof (a second-round pick in 2021) could be the Athletics' second baseman of the future, but he followed up with an 82 wRC+ and a league-high 188 strikeouts over 547 PA during the 2024 campaign. More will be known on the severity of Gelof's dislocation in the coming days, and in a worst-case scenario, his availability for the start of Spring Training may be in jeopardy."
Anthony Gelof dislocated his left shoulder while diving for a Bryan Reynolds grounder and was removed from tonight's game. The Athletics will place him on the 10-day injured list and his 2025 season is over. Gelof previously underwent hamate bone surgery and suffered a ribcage stress reaction, delaying his 2025 debut until July 4. He posted a .174/.230/.272 slash line, two homers, and 35 wRC+ over 101 plate appearances. Gelof was optioned to Triple-A after early struggles and returned in late August with a .606 OPS over 71 PAs. His long-term role is uncertain amid prospect depth.
