Jacob Wilson To Start Rehab Assignment On Saturday
4 months agoOakland Athletics top prospect Jacob Wilson (hamstring) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday. Wilson made his major-league debut on July 19, got a hit in his first career at-bat, but then strained his left hamstring and landed on the 10-day injured list. The 22-year-old former first-round pick out of Grand Canyon University just last year is now ready to play in games again and could rejoin Oakland's big-league roster as early as next week. However, it remains to be seen how much Wilson will play in Oakland given how well Max Schuemann has handled the 6 in his absence. Regardless, Wilson is worth stashing on the bench in deeper fantasy leagues after hitting .438/.475/.687 with a 1.162 OPS, seven homers and 34 RBI in 46 games across three minor-league levels earlier this year.
