Availability
Zack Gelof is in the lineup for the Athletics on Monday against the Reds.

Athletics infielder Zack Gelof could see time in the outfield this season, according to skipper Mark Kotsay.
Fantasy Impact
Gelof underwent shoulder surgery in September but said he feels good and he's ready to contribute to the club right away this season. The 26-year-old second baseman suddenly sees his spot on the Opening Day roster in doubt after the club not only acquired second baseman Jeff McNeil from the Mets this winter, but also after he struggled in 2024 and struggled even more in 2025 while appearing in just 30 games due to injuries. His 69-game rookie season in 2023 when he hit 14 homers alongside an .841 OPS could help afford him an opportunity to break camp with the big club this season.
Zack Gelof underwent successful left shoulder surgery on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
During Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Gelof dislocated his left shoulder while diving for a grounder in shallow right field. He is anticipated to be fully recovered by spring training.
