Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof to have hand surgery, start season on injured list
MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof is scheduled for surgery on his right hand Monday and will begin the season on the injured list.
Gelof suffered a hamate bone fracture and Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles will handle the procedure. Manager Mark Kotsay made the announcement at spring training Sunday.
The infielder was hit by a pitch from Cleveland reliever Paul Sewald on Wednesday and underwent an MRI exam on Saturday.
The 25-year-old Gelof, a second-round selection out of Virginia in the 2021 amateur draft, batted .211 with 17 home runs and 49 RBIs with 25 stolen bases over 138 games in his first year playing regularly.

Deion Sanders says he had bladder cancer but will coach the Colorado Buffaloes this season
Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado coach Deion Sanders disclosed Monday that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer but after surgery his oncologist considered him cured. Dr. Janet Kukreja, the director of urologic oncology at the CU Cancer Center/UCHealth University of Colorado hospital, said Sanders had his bladder removed as part of the surgical plan. Sanders plans to oversee the Buffaloes this season as he enters his third season at Colorado. Sanders, who turns 58 next month, spoke to the media on the eve of fall camp. He brought his medical team with him to discuss his diagnosis. The charismatic coach returned to campus last week and announced on social media, 'Back and Feeling Great!' He's missed football camps in Boulder this summer amid reports that he's been ill. On Sunday, the production crew of 'Well Off Media,' which chronicles Sanders and the Buffaloes, posted a video on YouTube of the coach's first meeting with the team. In the middle of the clip, there was a scene, dated May 9, where Sanders said: 'I don't know if I'm ready mentally, emotionally. Last night was tough, yesterday was tough, because I had to make a will. That's not easy at all, to think that you may not be here.' Sanders has dealt with issues surrounding his left foot since having two toes amputated in 2021 because of blood clot issues while he was coaching at Jackson State. He missed media day in 2023, his inaugural year at Colorado, after a procedure to remove a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten toes on his left foot. In March, Sanders signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The Buffaloes kick off the season on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech at Folsom Field. It will be the first season in quite some time that he hasn't coached one of his sons. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders was drafted by the Cleveland Browns while Shilo, a safety, is in camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes went 4-8 in his first season and 9-4 last season, with an appearance in the Alamo Bowl. They have big shoes to fill in replacing Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. ___ AP college football: and recommended Item 1 of 3
