Zack’s 456-foot jack
Top Stories
- Talk about returning with a splash. Sidelined since July 9 after lacerating his knee while making a sliding catch, 2B Zack Gelof (Athletics) celebrated his return to Oakland’s lineup with a home run and an RBI double in a loss to the Rays. The tape-measure blast traveled a career-best 456 feet—20 feet longer than his previous high. Six days earlier, Gelof kicked off his Triple-A rehab assignment with a three-run shot (8/12/2026)
- Minnesota’s acquisition of RHP Dean Kremer is already paying dividends. After giving up one earned run over five innings in his August 5 debut, Kremer tossed seven innings of one-hit ball on August 10. He yielded one earned run en route to a 9-5 victory over Baltimore— the club that dealt him—and allowed only three of the 22 batters he faced to reach base (8/12/2026)
