Jacob Wilson Plays Full Rehab Game
4 months agoOakland Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is getting closer to a potential return to the big leagues. Wilson played seven innings at shortstop on Tuesday with Triple-A Las Vegas and a full game as the designated hitter on Wednesday, going a combined 2-for-6 with an RBI, run scored and two walks for the Aviators. The 22-year-old has gone 4-for-11 at the plate in his four rehab games with Vegas. He's scheduled to play again on Thursday, and if he plays a full nine innings at shortstop, the A's may have seen enough to reinstate him from the 10-day injured list. The team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has enough offensive upside to be worth a stash in at least deep-mixed fantasy leagues to close out the year. The out-of-contention A's were ready to give Wilson regular playing time at the 6 before he injured his hamstring after recording his first big-league hit in his first career at-bat in late July.
