Jacob Wilson Sitting Again With Shoulder Injury
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Anaheim against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. Alika Williams will make another start at the 6 for the A's and will bat ninth against rookie right-hander Walbert Urena. It will be the second straight game that Wilson has missed after leaving Wednesday night's game early against the San Francisco Giants with a left-shoulder injury. As of now, Wilson is being considered day-to-day, but that could change quickly if he cannot get back on the field during this weekend's series against the Halos. The 24-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University has a career-high 11.7% strikeout rate and career-low 4.7% walk rate, but Wilson still makes contact more than most and sits at a .277 batting average (56-for-202). The problem is he lacks power (four homers) and speed (two stolen bases) upside at a premier position. Check back to see if Wilson is ready to return to the starting nine on Saturday.
