Jacob Wilson - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sets tone with leadoff homer Wilson went 3-for-6 with a home run, three total runs and two total RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Nationals on Saturday.

Impact Wilson foreshadowed a big day by the A's offense when he launched a leadoff long ball of Zack Littell in the bottom of the first inning. The third-year infielder added two more hits, including a run-scoring single in the seventh. Wilson has carried a strong end to the first half with a standout start to the second -- he now has a six-game hitting streak during which he's batting .458 (11-for-24), though Saturday marked his first RBI of that stretch.

Overall, the 24-year-old is slashing .282/.315/.391 with four homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs and two stolen bases across 55 appearances in 2026.

Activated from injured list The Athletics reinstated Wilson (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The 24-year-old shortstop has been on the shelf nearly two weeks due to right thumb inflammation, and it's a bit of a surprise he's returning so quickly given that it was recently reported by MLB.com that he hadn't been swinging a bat since landing on the IL. Wilson is apparently good to go, however, and should reclaim the starting job at shortstop now that he's healthy. Through 50 games this season, he has a .277/.310/.386 slash line with four home runs, two steals, 26 RBI and 23 runs in 214 plate appearances.

Not hitting since landing on shelf Wilson (thumb) hasn't resumed hitting since landing on the injured list June 29 and isn't expected to be available to play until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics likely won't have a good feel for a target date for Wilson's return until he's able to resume full baseball activities, but the 24-year-old appears to be shut down from activity for now while he waits for the swelling in his right thumb to subside. Since Wilson was placed on the IL, Alika Williams and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer have been sharing time at shortstop.

Shifts to injured list The Athletics placed Wilson (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Monday due to right thumb inflammation.

Impact Wilson had been held out of the lineup for the previous four games due to an injury that the Athletics had been labeling as left shoulder soreness, but his placement on the IL is being attributed to a different injury. In any case, Wilson's stint on the IL is retroactive to Friday, so he could return to action for the final week before the All-Star break if he's able to make a swift recovery from the swollen thumb. The Athletics called up Joshua Kuroda-Grauer from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move, and he and Alika Williams could share time at shortstop while Wilson is on the shelf.

Missing fourth straight start Wilson (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact A sore left shoulder will keep Wilson out of the starting nine for a fourth straight game, paving the way for Alika Williams to receive another nod at shortstop. the Athletics deemed Wilson available off the bench for Saturday's 5-2 loss, though the 24-year-old ultimately went unused. Wilson can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Athletics' upcoming three-game series with the Dodgers that begins Monday.

Impact Wilson is beginning on the bench for the third straight game Saturday while nursing a left shoulder issue. However, manager Mark Kotsay indicated before the contest that the 24-year-old infielder won't need an IL stint and could come off the bench Saturday. Alika Williams is starting at shortstop for a third consecutive contest, but it sounds like that run could end with Wilson's potential return Sunday.

Remains out of lineup Saturday Wilson (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Angels.

Impact Wilson will miss his third straight game after being removed early from Wednesday's contest with a left shoulder injury. It still remains uncertain whether the Athletics will move Wilson to the injured list or not. Alika Williams will once again take over at shortstop and bat ninth Saturday.

Sitting again Friday Wilson (shoulder) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Impact Wilson will sit out a second consecutive game following his removal from Wednesday's contest due to a left shoulder injury. It remains an encouraging sign that the A's haven't moved him to the injured list, though that may change if the young shortstop doesn't return in the next couple of days. Alika Williams will pick up a start in Wilson's absence and bat ninth.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Athletics' lineup Wilson (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Francisco.

Impact Wilson was forced to exit Wednesday's contest when he injured his left shoulder on a play at home plate. It's the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this season, costing him a month of action at the time. It's not yet clear whether the apparent aggravation of that injury will lead to another extended absence for Wilson, but it seems to be a good sign that he wasn't placed on the injured list prior to Thursday's contest. Alika Williams is filling in at shortstop in the series finale.

Dealing with shoulder injury Wilson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants with a left shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson's shoulder began to bother him after he made an awkward move to avoid a tag at home plate in the fifth inning, and the A's eventually made the call to take him out of the game in the ninth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the team could provide an update on his status ahead of Thursday's series finale.
