Gelof Out 10 Days After Hand Contusion

Zack Gelof’s 24-game hitting streak and 27-game on-base streak hit the brakes after a freak play Tuesday night—when Matt Chapman spiked him while trying to tag him out. The Athletics placed Gelof on the injured list retroactive to Wednesday, citing a right-hand contusion, and called up Alika Williams from Triple-A to fill his spot. Gelof’s injury also ended his 13-game run-scoring streak, the longest in 93 years. The second-round pick, batting .282 with 11 homers, exited the game early and went 0-for-1. Williams stepped in for the series finale, playing shortstop and batting ninth. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
