Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jacob Wilson, Athletics shortstop, suffered a left shoulder sprain during a game against the Orioles while diving to cut off an infield single. Wilson was immediately in discomfort and left the game wearing a sling. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated further imaging would be conducted to determine the timeline for return. Wilson is expected to be placed on at least the 10-day injured list, with his season potentially in jeopardy depending on severity. This comes after Wilson signed a 7-year, $70MM extension following a strong 2025 rookie season (.311/.355/.444, 13 HR, 2nd in AL ROY voting). His 2026 performance has declined to .292/.311/.398 with 3 HR in 168 PA, though he maintains elite contact rates and low strikeout rates.
