WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof had successful surgery on his left shoulder to address an injury sustained earlier last week, the team announced Wednesday.
Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed an anterior labral-capsule repair in Los Angeles to address instability after Gelof's injury in Pittsburgh on Sept. 19.
With the Athletics already eliminated from playoff contention, he will miss the rest of this season but is expected to fully recover in time for spring training.
Gelof hit .174 with two home runs and seven RBIs in 30 games this season.
