Gelof went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a walk in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday. Gelof continued terrorizing White Sox pitching in the narrow loss, following up a 2-for-4 night that had included an RBI double in Friday's series opener. Gelof now has hit safely in nine of the last 10 games and has multi-hit efforts in four of the last six contests, finally displaying some of the offensive potential he'd shown during his rookie 2023 campaign following a mostly difficult first five months of this season.

Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Tigers on Saturday. Gelof extended his hitting streak to four games while also recording his fourth steal in the last 11 contests. Gelof has picked up the pace at the plate of late, hitting .269 over his last seven games and knocking four of his seven hits during that span for extra bases. Nevertheless, his contact issues persist, with Gelof sitting on a 32.9 percent strikeout rate over the 43 games he's played since the All-Star break.

Gelof went 3-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Gelof was part of an afternoon that featured plenty of squandered opportunities with men on base by the Athletics, who parlayed 16 hits into only four runs. However, the young infielder did cash in on one of the two times he came to bat with runners in scoring position, driving in Seth Brown with his 10th-inning double to extend the Athletics' lead to 4-2 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Gelof's third in the last eight games, one of the better stretches of hitting for him during a season in which his slash line still stands at an anemic but moderately improving .206/.270/.371.

Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Reds on Tuesday. Gelof left the yard in the eighth inning via a 424-foot shot to left center that extended the Athletics' lead to 5-1, a run that turned out to be critical after the Reds rallied for three runs over the final two frames. Gelof's round tripper snapped a 12-game power drought for the infielder, whose average (.199) has dipped back under the Mendoza Line despite Tuesday's success. The lack of consistent contact continues to be a major drag on Gelof's overall numbers in his first full major-league season, as he's striking out at a 34.7 percent clip.
