Jacob Wilson Could Begin Rehab Assignment On Saturday
4 months agoOakland Athletics top prospect, shortstop Jacob Wilson (hamstring), will head to Triple-A Las Vegas to work out with the Aviators later this week and could begin his minor-league rehab assignment with Vegas as early as Saturday. Wilson made his major-league debut on July 19 with the A's and recorded a hit in his very first at-bat, but he then tweaked his hamstring and landed on the 10-day injured list to put a damper on his debut. With Max Schuemann playing well at shortstop ever since Wilson's injury, it's possible the A's will leave Wilson down on the farm at Vegas for a bit longer after he's proved that he's fully recovered from his hamstring injury. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick out of Grand Canyon just last year hit an impressive .398/.444/.639 with four homers and 12 RBI in 19 games for the Aviators before his initial MLB call-up.
