Jacob Wilson Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire Amidst Ongoing Shoulder Issues?
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (shoulder) has battled injury issues in 2026. After being placed on the injured list in early May due to a shoulder subluxation, Wilson re-injured the same shoulder on a play at the plate on Wednesday and has not played since. The Athletics have not yet placed Wilson on the injured list, so there's hope that he can make a quick return to the lineup. Across 214 plate appearances in 2026, Wilson is hitting .277/.310/.386 with four home runs, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 24-year-old's carrying category in fantasy is batting average, but his strikeout rate has risen from 7.5% in 2025 to 11.7% this season. Still, Wilson hit .311 with 13 home runs across 523 plate appearances a year ago and carries some upside if he can get healthy over the second half of the season. Fantasy managers in need of batting average may have an opportunity to add Wilson off the waiver wire.
