This past week, A's second baseman Zack Gelof was hit by a pitch on his right hand in a game against the Cleveland Guardians. The club was originally uncertain whether or not he'd be ready for Opening Day. Earlier today, it was announced by the team that Gelof will undergo surgery to repair a hamate fracture. With the loss of Gelof to the A's Opening Day roster, the A's are now going to have No. 7 prospect and former first rounder Max Muncy make his MLB debut.

Zack Gelof reportedly will begin the 2025 MLB season on the injured list and Athletics' No. 7 prospect Max Muncy will make the ballclub's Opening Day roster.

For nearly eight hours, the 12-year MLB second baseman and Skyline alumni shook hands, greeted old friends and took pictures with young fans at Raimondi Park – home of the Oakland Ballers – where Oakland's top teams competed in the inaugural Bip Roberts Classic.

Diablo, Moreau Catholic and El Cerrito.
