Gelof Out, Williams In for A's

The Athletics made a swift move, calling up infielder Alika Williams from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the void left by Zack Gelof, who’s now on the injured list after getting his hand stepped on by Matt Chapman. Gelof’s injury ends two major streaks — a 24-game hitting streak and a 27-game on-base streak — both of which were franchise records in their own right. Williams, who was just optioned down a few days ago, had been performing well with the big club, batting .289 with power and versatility at both shortstop and second base. With Gelof sidelined, the A’s will be watching to see how Williams integrates into the lineup and how long Gelof’s absence lasts.
