Jacob Wilson Could Start Rehab Assignment This Week
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (shoulder) could start a minor-league rehab assignment later this week, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Wilson is getting closer to a return to the A's after they put him on the 10-day injured list in the middle of May with a left-shoulder injury. Barring a setback once the 24-year-old starts playing in games down on the farm, he could return to the big-league roster at some point next week as the club's starting shortstop. The former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University doesn't have much power or speed, but he rarely strikes out, makes a lot of contact, and can provide fantasy managers with a high average. Before his shoulder injury, Wilson was slashing .292/.311/.398, and he's hit .299 in his first 192 big-league games since debuting with the A's in 2024. He has only three home runs in 39 games in 2026 and has added 19 RBI, 18 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 168 plate appearances. Wilson is currently rostered in 63% of Yahoo leagues.
