De Vries Injury Update & 2027 Outlook | Oakland Athletics News

Leo De Vries, the A’s top prospect and hotly anticipated shortstop, is sidelined on the injured list after a string of nagging finger injuries—caused by a base-jamming slide—have derailed his season. Fans speculate he’s being called up whenever he’s inactive, but it’s purely injury-related. Recently spotted in San Jose (where the A’s don’t have an affiliate), he may be seeking specialist care at Stanford, though the team says more details are coming. Acquired in 2025, De Vries showed promise with strong contact stats and OBP, but power hasn’t materialized as hoped—until July and August, when his slugging jumped noticeably. Still, lingering injuries and a late-season push mean his big league debut might now be delayed until 2027. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
