Detroit, MI – On July 9, 2026, Athletics left-fielder Zack Gelof suffered a severe leg injury when he collided with a metal wall while pursuing a foul ball. Gelof's pursuit of the ball took him into a stretch of exposed metal wiring, which sliced his knee like a Veg-O-Matic and kept him out of action for a month.

Ultimately, the material facts in Gelof's case and their implications on the potential settlement remain to be seen.
