The Athletics announced on Tuesday that they placed rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) on the 10-day injured list with a bruised hand that he has been playing with in recent weeks. In a corresponding move, infielder Darell Hernaiz has been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas. Hopefully, Wilson won't have to miss much time before coming off the IL, but it could give him a nice little break after finally starting to struggle of late in his first full big-league season. The former sixth overall pick is still hitting above .300 on the season and is one of the toughest hitters to strike out, but he's gone just 7-for-50 (.140) with a homer and five RBI in 13 games in the month of July. Max Schumann got the start at the 6 for the A's on Monday with Wilson out and should be the team's primary option at the position until Wilson is able to return from the IL.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) remains out of action for the A's for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Seattle Mariners in Sacramento. Max Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat eighth against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Wilson is dealing with a bruised hand and is considered day-to-day, so he could return as soon as Game 2 of the series at Sutter Health Park on Tuesday. The 23-year-old former sixth overall pick has been playing through his hand injury for a few weeks now and could be a big reason why he's hit just .140 (7-for-50) with a homer and five RBI in 13 games in the month of July. Wilson, who was a first-time All-Star in 2025, is still hitting a robust .312 (115-for-369) on the year with his short, contact-oriented stroke, but fantasy managers will want to expect more regression going forward.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) is not in the team's lineup Sunday against the Houston Astros. Max Schuemann will handle shortstop in Wilson's place and bat eighth against left-hander Colton Gordon. Wilson has been playing through a hand contusion that he suffered on a hit by pitch before the All-Star break, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. That may help explain why Wilson, who made the All-Star team as a rookie, has gone just 3-for-29 in the second half of the season. Despite the recent slide, Wilson is still hitting .312/.354/.439 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 396 plate appearances.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson will take the day off for Thursday's series opener against the division-rival Houston Astros at Daikin Park. Max Schuemann will make the start at shortstop and will hit leadoff against Astros right-hander Jason Alexander, who will be making only his second start of the year. The A's will give Wilson the day off on Thursday after he went hitless in each of his last four games. The first-time All-Star and former sixth overall pick hasn't had many hitless games in his first full season in the big leagues in 2025, as he's still batting a healthy .311 (114-for-366) with 10 home runs, 44 RBI, 46 runs scored and five stolen bases in 93 games. With an xBA of .285 and one of the slowest swings in the majors, more regression is likely coming from the contact artist in the second half. Schuemann will have extra opportunities hitting leadoff but still isn't a very exciting DFS sleeper pick.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) returns to the lineup Saturday, batting second against the Toronto Blue Jays. Wilson had been sidelined since Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Braves after taking a pitch off his left hand. The Rookie of the Year candidate missed three games but brings his steady presence back to the top of the A's lineup. Wilson has been excellent in his debut season, slashing .335/.379/.468, though his lack of power and speed caps his fantasy ceiling. Fantasy managers should continue to start Wilson for batting average and runs, especially as the A's offense continues to trend upward.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) will miss a third straight game for Friday's series opener against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays in Sacramento. With Wilson still nursing a left-hand injury, Max Muncy will shift to shortstop and will bat seventh against Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer. Wilson is being considered day-to-day, so there's hope he could return to the lineup for one of the final two days of the first half of the regular season on Saturday or Sunday before next week's All-Star break. Believe it or not, the 23-year-old Wilson ranks second in MLB (behind Aaron Judge) with a .335 average (111-for-331) despite having one of the shortest and slowest swings in the game. Wilson's xBA of .290 is still strong, but it foreshadows regression in the second half. Muncy is hitting only .218 in his first 52 MLB games, but he does have eight homers.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Wilson suffered a left hand contusion when he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game. Now, Wilson will miss his second straight game on Thursday due to the issue. It doesn't look like the A's plan on placing Wilson on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day and be hopeful for his return this weekend. In his absence, Max Muncy will cover shortstop and bat sixth versus right-hander Spencer Strider.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) will take a seat ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This doesn't come as a shock after Wilson was hit in the left hand by a pitch during Tuesday's game. It doesn't sound like Wilson suffered any serious injuries, but he'll likely undergo more testing. For now, fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day. Max Muncy will take over at shortstop and bat sixth versus left-hander Bryce Elder on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.

MLB.com's Theo DeRosa reports that initial testing on Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson's (hand) hand returned negative, and he's considered day-to-day. The former first-round pick took a Didier Fuentes pitch to the hand in the first inning of Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Atlanta Braves and was immediately removed from the contest. It's good news that X-rays returned clean, but the team will reevaluate him on Wednesday to determine how long he'll be sidelined. With the All-Star break looming, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get some extra rest if his hand hasn't improved in a few days. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be shelved for too long, but we'll know more shortly.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) exited Tuesday's game against the Braves in the first inning with a left hand contusion, per the Athletic's David O'Brien. Wilson was hit by a Didier Fuentes pitch in his first at-bat and was replaced immediately by Max Schuemann. Fantasy managers should wait until after the game for more information. This is another bit of unfortunate injury luck for the 23-year-old, who dealt with several nagging injuries through June. His performance when he has been in the lineup has been outstanding, with a .335/.379/.468 slash line, nine home runs, 42 RBI, and five stolen bases in 357 plate appearances. He earned a starting position for the American League All-Star team and has been a fantasy All-Star in the first half.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) will miss his second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays as he battles hamstring soreness. Max Schuemann will take his place at short and bat ninth. Wilson has not yet been placed on the injured list, so the team hopes he can return on Friday when the Athletics begin a series at home against the San Francisco Giants. He's been one of the best sources of batting average in baseball this season, hitting .339 in 343 plate appearances with a minuscule 7.6% strikeout rate.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays due to right-hamstring soreness, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Manager Mark Kotsay said that Wilson woke up feeling sore in the morning and could also get the series finale in Tampa off before a scheduled day off on Thursday. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if Wilson is back in there, but the more likely scenario is that the 23-year-old is held out until Friday's series opener against the San Francisco Giants in Sacramento. Max Schuemann is now starting at the 6 and will hit ninth on Tuesday against Rays right-hander Shane Baz. Although Wilson hasn't displayed much power or speed, he's among the hardest in the game to strike out and is currently batting .339 (108-for-319).

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is back at shortstop and is in the two-hole in the batting order for Friday's series opener in Kansas City against the Royals and veteran right-hander Michael Wacha. Wilson dealt with a minor hamstring injury this week that kept him out of the final two games of the series against the Los Angeles Angels, but he's back in there after a scheduled day off on Thursday. Fantasy managers will want to plug the 23-year-old youngster back into their starting lineups in all formats. His .366 batting average ranks second in baseball, behind only Aaron Judge, but an xBA of just .311 shows that he's due for some regression the rest of the way. The former first-rounder has the second-slowest average bat speed (63.5 mph) in the league with a xwOBA in just the 44th percentile. He's also in the 100th percentile in strikeout rate despite residing in the 19th percentile in chase rate.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is considered day-to-day with left-hamstring tightness after missing a second straight game in Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. The team is hopeful that he could return for Friday's series opener in Kansas City against the Royals after a day off on Thursday. The 23-year-old former first-rounder was scratched from Tuesday's loss to the Halos and was also held out of the lineup on Wednesday as a precaution. The good news is fantasy managers should have him back at some point this weekend against the Royals. Wilson has been amazing through 64 games in 2025, slashing .366/.402/.520 with a .922 OPS, eight home runs, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored and five stolen bases. Although he rarely strikes out (16 times in 272 plate appearances), Wilson is due for regression in the average department.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. Max Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat ninth for the A's against Angels right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Wilson was scratched from Tuesday's loss against the Angels with a tight left hamstring and will miss another game as he recovers. For now, he's considered day-to-day. Hopefully, the 23-year-old is able to return to action in Friday's series opener against the Kansas City Royals after a scheduled off day on Thursday for travel. Wilson is second in baseball, behind only Aaron Judge, with a .366 batting average, but his xBA of .311 suggests that he's due for plenty of regression in that department the rest of the way. He's added eight homers, 38 RBI, 36 runs and five steals in 64 games with a contact-first approach at the plate.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay noted that shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is absent from Tuesday's contest with the Los Angeles Angels due to hamstring tightness. Per Kotsay, it was a precautionary benching with the A's on a long stretch of no rest. Fortunately, it sounds like Wilson is on the day-to-day side of things and shouldn't need more than a few to get himself right. Still, it's a situation to monitor as hamstring issues tend to linger if not appropriately managed. He's been a spark plug for the team at the top of the lineup, and was particularly blistering over his previous 11 outings with a superb .454 average (20-for-44).

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is not in the team's lineup against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. It's not yet known why the Athletics scratched Wilson from their starting nine. Max Schuemann will take his place at shortstop and bat eighth. The 23-year-old Wilson is enjoying a sensational rookie season with a .366/.402/.520 line, eight home runs, and five stolen bases in 272 plate appearances. The hope is that he's not dealing with an injury, but the A's should have more information soon.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson went 3-for-5 with a home run during Thursday's victory over the Minnesota Twins. Wilson went deep in the third inning off Minnesota right-hander David Festa. This was Wilson's sixth-straight tallying at least one hit. Over his last 16 contests, the rookie infielder has posted a stellar .444/.493/.667 slash line with five doubles, three home runs, nine runs, three stolen bases, and a 6:5 K:BB. Through 60 games this season, the former sixth overall pick from the 2023 MLB Draft has posted an impressive .362/.402/.523 line with eight long balls and five short balls. Under the hood, he has generated an elite .312 xBA (96th percentile) while striking out at a 6.3% rate. Given his impressive start to his career, he remains a must-start shortstop in all formats going forward.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hip) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Wilson makes his way back to the lineup following a one-game absence due to a neck injury he suffered on Monday. This is great news for fantasy managers as Wilson has been crushing the ball this season. He's slashing .355/.393/.504 with seven home runs and 32 RBI in 58 games. He'll cover shortstop and bat second versus right-hander Zebby Matthews on Wednesday.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (neck) felt much better on Tuesday after "jarring" his neck on a dive into first base in Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins, and he's expected to return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Twins, according to MLB.com. Wilson missed Tuesday's loss due to minor neck stiffness but should be back in action at the 6 on Wednesday, so fantasy managers should be ready to get him back in their starting lineups. The 23-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University is the favorite to win American League Rookie of the Year after thoroughly impressing through his first 228 at-bats and 58 games this year. Wilson enters Wednesday's game with a .355/.393/.504 slash line, seven home runs, 32 RBI and five steals. His .355 average ranks third in all of baseball, behind only Aaron Judge and Freddie Freeman.
