Gelof’s Knee Injury Update | Oakland Athletics News

Zack Gelof’s solid bounce-back season hit a major snag when he exited yesterday’s game in the third inning after a brutal knee collision with the fence during a sliding catch — leaving a deep cut under his kneecap. While initial reports are cautiously optimistic that the tendon escaped damage, tests including an MRI are pending to determine the full scope. Gelof, who recently returned from a hand injury and was hitting .273 with 11 homers and 29 RBIs, is now facing a setback that could sideline him for weeks. The team’s hope? That the injury isn’t as bad as it looked — and they’re holding their breath for the results. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
