Summary
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 seen wearing a sling and will undergo imaging to determine the severity. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated Wilson will likely be placed on at least the 10-day IL, with the possibility of a longer absence depending on imaging results. Wilson had a strong 2025 rookie season (.311/.355/.444, 13 HR) but has seen his numbers decline in 2026 (.292/.311/.398, 3 HR in 168 PA). He maintains elite contact rates but with lower quality of contact and a very low 3.0% walk rate.
