De Vries Injury Shakes A’s Future | Oakland Athletics News

Once on fire with a .290 average, 13 homers, and 34 steals in just 93 games, his injury hits hard—especially as the team’s farm system faces other struggles. With the big league club out of playoff contention, the A’s are prioritizing De Vries’ long-term health over immediate returns, trusting he’ll come back stronger after rehab.
