Jacob Wilson Fantasy Stats

The Athletics reinstated shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned infielder Max Schuemann to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Wilson is back at shortstop and is batting fifth for the A's in his return to the lineup on Friday night against the division-rival Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryan Woo at T-Mobile Park. Fantasy managers need to return the contact-orientd Wilson to their starting lineups in all leagues. The 23-year-old potential American League Rookie of the Year is due some regression to close out the year, but he's still one of the toughest players to strike out and enters Friday's action with a .311 average, 10 home runs, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored and five steals as the A's starting shortstop. He's also hitting .625 with a 1.542 OPS and an RBI against Woo, albeit in only eight career at-bats.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) is likely to be activated from the injured list in time for the upcoming series at Seattle, MLB.com reports. Wilson is hitting .214 (3-for-14) with a home run in four games in Triple-A for the Las Vegas Aviators. If he didn't have a setback Thursday, which at this point doesn't appear to be the case, there's a good chance he'll return to the A's lineup Friday. With the Athletics 9.5 games out of the playoff picture and the direction of this young ball club, it's not likely that the Athletics rush him back, but Wilson appears to be close and will try to finish 2025 on a high note. Once he does return, Wilson can be slotted in as the everyday shortstop in fantasy lineups. He's produced a very impressive .312/.354/.439 slash line with 10 home runs, 46 runs scored, five stolen bases, and 45 RBI on the season.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) had a solid third rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run while playing seven innings. The 23-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 26 with a fractured left forearm. He is now hitting .273 in 11 at-bats during his rehab stint. The Athletics and fantasy managers will look forward to having Wilson back in their lineups for the rest of the season, as he was slashing .312/.354/.439 with 10 HR, 45 RBI, and five stolen bases in 396 plate appearances. He earned himself a spot on the American League All-Star team and was making a Rookie of the Year case for himself.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) began his rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, lacing a double in his first at-bat and finishing the game 2-for-4 with a run scored. The 23-year-old has been out since late July due to a fractured left forearm, but was a leading candidate for AL Rookie of the Year before going down with the injury, slashing .312/.354/.439 with 10 home runs and five steals in 94 games for the A's. The 2025 All-Star's rehab shouldn't be lengthy, so look for him to rejoin the club at some point in the coming week.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, per MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Wilson has already started baseball activities as he works his way back from a left-forearm fracture that has kept him out since late July. Barring a setback for the 23-year-old on his rehab assignment with the Aviators, he could rejoin the major-league roster next week. Until then, expect Darrell Hernaiz to continue serving as the club's primary shortstop. Despite having one of the slowest swings in the big leagues, Wilson is among the most difficult to strike out and made his first All-Star team in 2025. The former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University has been fortunate to have a .312 batting average (115-for-369) when looking at his xBA of .284, and he only has 10 home runs and 45 RBI for the young A's.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm), who is on the 10-day injured list with a left-forearm fracture, began a hitting progression on Tuesday and continues to do baseball activities, per Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America. Wilson fractured his forearm in late July but could be back in the big leagues with the A's before the end of August, barring a setback as he ramps up his activities. The contact-oriented Wilson was an American League All-Star in his first full season in the big leagues this year and was hitting a cool .312/.354/.439 in 94 games at the time of his injury. The 23-year-old has limited power, though, and has 10 homers, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored and five stolen bases in 396 at-bats. Until Wilson returns, Darell Hernaiz should continue to operate as the starting shortstop. Based on his quality of contact, Wilson has been very fortunate to hit .312 -- his xBA sits at .284.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (forearm) is playing catch and running but hasn't yet been cleared to start a hitting progression, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Wilson is making slow progress after being diagnosed with a fractured left forearm two weeks ago. At this time, there is no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if we don't see the 23-year-old until later this month or even in September. In the meantime, Darell Hernaiz has become useful in AL-only leagues with elevated playing time as the primary shortstop. Although Wilson is a candidate for regression at the plate once he returns from injury, the former sixth overall pick has had a very successful first season in the majors with a .312 average (115-for-169) with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 46 runs and five stolen bases. Keep him stashed in an IL spot in fantasy leagues.

The Athletics announced on Tuesday that they placed rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) on the 10-day injured list with a bruised hand that he has been playing with in recent weeks. In a corresponding move, infielder Darell Hernaiz has been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas. Hopefully, Wilson won't have to miss much time before coming off the IL, but it could give him a nice little break after finally starting to struggle of late in his first full big-league season. The former sixth overall pick is still hitting above .300 on the season and is one of the toughest hitters to strike out, but he's gone just 7-for-50 (.140) with a homer and five RBI in 13 games in the month of July. Max Schumann got the start at the 6 for the A's on Monday with Wilson out and should be the team's primary option at the position until Wilson is able to return from the IL.

Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) remains out of action for the A's for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Seattle Mariners in Sacramento. Max Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat eighth against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Wilson is dealing with a bruised hand and is considered day-to-day, so he could return as soon as Game 2 of the series at Sutter Health Park on Tuesday. The 23-year-old former sixth overall pick has been playing through his hand injury for a few weeks now and could be a big reason why he's hit just .140 (7-for-50) with a homer and five RBI in 13 games in the month of July. Wilson, who was a first-time All-Star in 2025, is still hitting a robust .312 (115-for-369) on the year with his short, contact-oriented stroke, but fantasy managers will want to expect more regression going forward.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson (hand) is not in the team's lineup Sunday against the Houston Astros. Max Schuemann will handle shortstop in Wilson's place and bat eighth against left-hander Colton Gordon. Wilson has been playing through a hand contusion that he suffered on a hit by pitch before the All-Star break, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. That may help explain why Wilson, who made the All-Star team as a rookie, has gone just 3-for-29 in the second half of the season. Despite the recent slide, Wilson is still hitting .312/.354/.439 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 396 plate appearances.
