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.

Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson (neck) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's not shocking to see Wilson getting a rest day after suffering a neck injury during Monday's contest. It sounds like a minor issue, so for now fantasy managers should consider Wilson as day-to-day. Wilson has been excellent, so fantasy managers should hold him through the injury. Max Schuemann will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus right-hander Pablo Lopez on Tuesday.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson continued his sensational rookie campaign in an 8-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Wilson went 4-for-4 with four singles, an RBI, and a stolen base. The 23-year-old has already amassed 24 multi-hit games this season. Overall, Wilson has put together a remarkable .357/.396/.504 line with seven home runs, 32 RBI, five steals, and 14:13 K:BB in 241 plate appearances. He'll aim for a third straight multi-hit game on Monday against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Joe Ryan.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson continued his eye-opening start to the season Sunday with a three-hit game in a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The 23-year-old led off the bottom of the first with a 420-foot bomb against Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Wilson later chipped in a pair of singles to finish 3-for-4. It was his second straight three-hit game and fifth multi-hit effort over his last seven contests. Wilson, who rarely strikes out or walks (he has a K:BB of 11:12), ranks near the top of the league in contact rate. His unique approach has paid significant dividends so far in 2025, as he's off to a .350/.393/.495 start with six homers and 28 RBI in 215 plate appearances. He'll try to keep it going in his next game on Tuesday against Houston Astros ace right-hander Hunter Brown.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) is back at the 6 and is hitting second for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Tyler Anderson as they look to avoid a four-game sweep in Sacramento. Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's loss against the Angels after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm. The impressive 23-year-old was held out on Wednesday, but he has now returned and should be put back in starting fantasy lineups. The former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University has not looked like a rookie in 2025, slashing .341/.381/.478 with an .859 OPS, five home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and four stolen bases in his first 47 games this year. Wilson's .341 average ranks third in all of baseball, and he's hitting .367 (11-for-30) against southpaws in 2025.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) left Tuesday's game against the Angels in the bottom of the fifth inning with a left-forearm contusion, per MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Wilson was hit by a Kyle Hendricks pitch in the third inning. He stayed in the game but was pinch-hit for by Max Schuemann in the fifth inning. Fantasy managers should look for further news after the game, but the fact that he was able to stay in the game temporarily may mean he avoided anything serious. The 23-year-old is having a great offensive season so far, slashing .341/.381/.478 with five home runs, 26 RBI, and four stolen bases in 195 plate appearances.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson stayed red-hot at the plate in his team's 11-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Wilson went 4-for-5 with two homers, two runs, and four RBI to help power his team to the win. The game goes down as the first multi-homer game of the rookie's career. Wilson is impressing thus far this season, hitting .363 with five homers, 24 runs, 26 RBI, and two steals across 160 at-bats. He is hitting a blistering .484 with two homers and nine RBI over his past seven games as he makes an early case for Rookie of the Year in the American League. Wilson should be locked into fantasy lineups moving forward.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson continued to impress at the plate during Monday evening's victory over the Seattle Mariners. In this game, Wilson went 3-for-6 with three RBI. He hit a game-tying RBI single in the 10th inning, which scored outfielder JJ Bleday. Later in the 11th, Wilson would tally the game-winning RBI single, which scored first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom. This was also Wilson's third-straight game tallying at least two hits. Over his last 10 contests, the former sixth overall pick has posted an impressive .366/.422/.439 slash line. However, during this stretch, he hit just one extra-base hit (a home run). Through his first 34 games this season, the rookie shortstop has continued to flash upside, posting a .341/.364/.452 slash line. He will look to stay hot on Tuesday, facing Seattle right-hander Emerson Hancock.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson continued his hot start with a 3-for-4 night at the plate in a 6-5 win over the White Sox on Friday, smacking his third home run of the year and collecting two RBI in the contest. The former first-rounder has now hit safely in 23 of the first 25 games, slashing a robust .347/.354/.500 with a .374 wOBA and a 149 wRC+. With a low 5.1 percent strikeout rate and 91.5 percent contact rate, expect the right-handed hitter to continue to put the bat on the ball, and hitting at Sutter Health Park may even provide a little more power than fantasy managers were expecting. The 23-year-old is putting together a strong case for AL Rookie of the Year, and can continue to be used in both season-long and DFS formats.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is not in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago. Rookie Max Muncy will take his place at shortstop and will hit ninth against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. This will be Wilson's first day off of the 2025 season. The 23-year-old prospect and former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University has lived up to expectations so far this and entered Wednesday's action slashing .333/.333/.485 with an .818 OPS, two homers, eight RBI and 11 runs scored for fantasy managers. Expect him to be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. Muncy, another first-rounder, has been a bit overmatched at the plate in his first 16 MLB games, going 10-for-54 (.185) with a homer, four doubles, four RBI, on walk and 16 strikeouts. He should be avoided as a DFS play in the nine-hole.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI during their 6-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday afternoon. Wilson tallied his first hit with a solo blast in the fourth inning off Colorado starter Ryan Feltner. Later in the 11th inning, the former sixth overall pick would play the hero as he hit a go-ahead two-run single, which scored JJ Bleday and Shea Langeliers. Wilson has tallied at least one hit in the first eight games of the regular season and posted two straight multi-hit outings. He has gone deep twice and added a double with five total RBI. Wilson received a brief taste of the majors last season but was only able to appear in 28 games before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. The 23-year-old remains a strong No. 1 shortstop in all formats as he continues this impressive start. On Saturday, he will look to push his streak to nine games against German Marquez.
