Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s closed out a tough series in the harsh environs of Yankee Stadium yesterday with a 3-1 win to secure a 2-2 series split against one of the American League’s hottest teams. Oakland is still playing sub-.400 ball this season, but silver lining: they’re three games ahead of the Astros in the AL West.
Second baseman Zack Gelof was widely regarded as the A’s best player coming into the 2024 season, but after a slow start at the plate, he’s landed on the 10-day IL with an oblique strain.
