Jacob Wilson Progressing, Remains Without Return Timeline
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (shoulder) has begun a hitting progression and is playing catch, but remains without a firm return timeline, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Wilson was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 12 after dislocating his left shoulder while attempting to make a diving play. Across 168 plate appearances before the injury, Wilson hit .292/.311/.398 with three home runs, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 24-year-old has established himself as a high-end source of batting average for fantasy managers. However, Wilson's 1.9% career barrel rate and his current shoulder injury combine to place a firm ceiling on his power potential. Given the nature of his injury, Wilson could require a rehab stint in the minors before returning to the Athletics lineup. Darrel Hernaiz has taken over as the team's everyday shortstop in Wilson's absence.
