Athletics Second Honkman Zack Lof suffered from a disrupted left shoulder in tonight’s 4-3 victory over the Pirates, manager Mark Kotsay told Mlb.com’s Martin Gallegos And other reporters during the postgame media session. Voices hurt itself for one Bryan Reynolds Grounder who eventually went for a bent double and had to be removed from the game immediately after the game.
The A’s will place vast on the 10-day wounded list tomorrow, and to say unnecessary that the VOF 2025 season is now officially over. The disrupted shoulder is a rough end of a season that is already characterized by remarkable injuries for the 25-year-old Infielder, because Hamate bot surgery and then a stress response in his rib cage prevented his debut 2025 to 4 July.
From there, only two hits had about his first 28 record performances before the As chose to send him back to Triple-A. Voel was recalled at the end of August, but did not do much better and placed a .606 OPS over 71 PA between 25 August and 18 September. For the season as a whole, VOF has a miserable 35 WRC+ from A.174/.230/.272 Slash line and two home runs over 101 plate.
This makes the back-to-back disappointing seasons for voices in the aftermath of his big 2023 Rookie season. That apparent breakout ensured that it looked like deaf (a pick in the second round in 2021) could be the second Honkman of the future of athletics, but he followed an 82 WRC+ and a competition-high 188 strikeouts over 547 PA during the 2024 campaign.
More will be known about the seriousness of the dislocation of voices in the coming days, and in a worst-case scenario his availability for the start of the spring training may be in danger. Even if he is healthy, even in 2026, he cannot be seen as a lock for a daily job, let alone in the long term. With a highly praised ShortStop prospect Leo de Vries Now in the farm system, the future plans of athletics can now have De Vries on short and Jacob Wilson Moving to second base, so voices will have to be healthy in 2026 and have to appear again to get himself back in the photo.
