Pair of hits in rehab debut Wilson (hamstring) started at designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a run.

Impact Wilson took the first three plate appearances of the game out of the leadoff spot before being pinch hit for by Jordan Diaz. The rookie shortstop may have a chance to play at least a partial game on defense in his next appearance for the Aviators as he continues to test his previously injured hamstring.

Starting rehab assignment Saturday Wilson (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson has been sidelined since straining his left hamstring in his major-league debut back on July 19, but he's progressed to the point that he's ready to play in games again. The young shortstop shouldn't need too many rehab at-bats before rejoining the Athletics' active roster. Wilson makes for a viable stash in fantasy leagues where he was dropped.

Approaching rehab assignment Wilson (hamstring) will travel to Triple-A Las Vegas this week to continue his rehab, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Assuming Wilson doesn't run into any setbacks, the expectation is that he could begin playing in rehab games with the Aviators by Saturday. The A's haven't yet decided how long they'll keep the 22-year-old in the minors, but beginning an assignment Saturday would give him plenty of time to potentially return to Oakland before the end of the month.

Takes batting practice Wilson (hamstring) took batting practice Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson has been progressing well in his recovery from a strained left hamstring and participated in batting practice for the first time since being placed on the IL on July 21. Still, the Athletics are taking it slow with the 22-year-old, who isn't expected back for multiple weeks.

Begins light activities Wilson (hamstring) began a light baseball progression earlier in the week that includes hitting off a tee, MLB.com reports.

Impact The promising rookie is also playing catch up to 90 feet and doing some light jogging. Wilson remains without a timetable for return, although these latest developments spark some optimism he can be ready for activation at some point before the end of August, likely following at least a brief rehab assignment.

Moves to injured list The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain. The transaction is retroactive to July 20.

Impact The 22-year-old was promoted for his MLB debut Friday and suffered the injury after singling in his first plate appearance. Although the severity of the strain is unclear since the results of Wilson's MRI have yet to be disclosed, he'll be sidelined for at least the next nine days. Abraham Toro was activated from the IL in a corresponding move, while Max Scheumann is likely to take back over as Oakland's primary shortstop.

Not in Saturday's lineup Wilson (hamstring) isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Strains hamstring during debut Wilson exited Friday's game in the fourth inning due to a left hamstring strain, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson suffered the injury while rounding third base in the third inning, and he was pulled after testing out his hamstring in the field ahead of the fourth frame. It's possible that the 22-year-old's injury causes him to land on the injured list immediately after making his MLB debut, which would put Max Schuemann back into the starting shortstop role.

Exits Friday's game early Wilson was removed from Friday's game against the Angels with an apparent injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson hit a single during his first career MLB at-bat in the third inning, but he came up limping after coming around to score and was replaced on defense once the A's took the field. The nature of Wilson's injury remains unknown, but Oakland will provide more information once its training staff takes a closer look at him.

Making major-league debut Friday Wilson is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Friday's series opener against the Angels.

Impact Wilson has risen quickly through the Athletics' farm system since being selected sixth overall in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Following his promotion to Triple-A Las Vegas on May 8, Wilson has slashed .398/.444/.639 with four home runs, 12 RBI and a 1.083 OPS across 90 plate appearances. He'll take over the starting job at shortstop for Max Schuemann, and if Wilson is able to adapt as well to the big leagues as he has in the minors, he could move up in the A's batting order during the second half of the season.

He should take over the starting job at shortstop from Max Schuemann.
