A's Place Jacob Wilson on Injured List With Thumb Inflammation
The Athletics placed shortstop Jacob Wilson (thumb) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 26) on Monday with right-thumb inflammation, according to the team. In corresponding moves, the A's selected the contract of infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer and recalled infielder Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas. Wilson will land on the IL with a thumb injury despite missing the last four games with soreness in his left shoulder. It's unclear exactly how serious his thumb injury is, but if it's minor, Wilson will have a shot to return in early July before the All-Star break. While he's out, look for Alika Williams to continue to see starts at the 6 in Sacramento. Wilson, a former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University, burst onto the scene in 2024 in his MLB debut and was a first-time All-Star in 2025, but he has been mediocre for fantasy purposes in 2026. He makes lots of contact and rarely strikes out, but there are plenty more interesting shortstops that provide more power/speed upside. Wilson is hitting .277 (56-for-202) with only four home runs, 26 RBI, 23 runs, and two stolen bases in 50 games played for the A's this year.
