A's put slumping Gelof on IL with oblique strain

Oakland Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof was put on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a strained left oblique. Gelof was a late scratch from Wednesday's game after feeling pain during his pregame routine and an MRI showed the low-grade strain. The IL move was retroactive to Wednesday. "He went through his pregame routine and we decided to take a cautious side," manager Mark Kotsay said before Oakland's series finale against the New York Yankees.
