De Vries Injury Slows A's Star Prospect | Oakland Athletics News

Oakland’s top prospect, Leo De Vries, is sidelined for eight months after shoulder surgery, threatening his 2025 debut and potentially delaying his arrival in the majors. Ranked as baseball’s No. 2 prospect, he was acquired in the Mason Miller trade and projected to anchor the A’s infield in Vegas by 2028. Despite a strong Double-A season with 13 homers and a .290 average, his recovery timeline now forces the team to adjust plans—possibly moving Jacob Wilson to second base when De Vries returns. The focus remains on his full recovery, but the injury casts doubt on Oakland’s long-term roster blueprint. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
