Zack Gelof

Knee laceration from a full-extension sliding catch into the outfield fence on July 9 vs. Tigers. Came off his own hand IL (June 25) just days before this new injury. Return timeline is unclear but knee lacerations are typically a 2-3 week absence rather than a structural issue.

Available in 80% of Yahoo leagues despite reaching base safely in 17 consecutive games. Gelof is playing every day at third base while Max Muncy recovers from a hand injury, giving him a stable everyday role in Oakland's lineup. The 2B/3B eligibility is valuable, and four home runs on the season undersell his power potential. One of the bigger value gaps on the waiver wire heading into week 12.

Pitcher List's #3 priority hitter. Gelof has bounced back with improved plate discipline (K-rate down from 30%+ to 22.5%). The A's offense has been hot, and his multi-position eligibility is the bonus. Top-25 2B rest of season.

Gelof has 3 HRs in his last 8 games as the A's offense has caught fire. The 2B/OF eligibility is the multi-cat bonus, and the A's lineup is now a top-10 run-producer. Top-25 2B rest of season ceiling. Aggressive add in 14+ team formats; speculative in 12-team.
