MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is returning to the injured list due to recurring left shoulder issues and is likely done for the 2026 season, pending further medical evaluation in Sacramento.
- Wilson has struggled with injuries all year, including a left shoulder subluxation in May and right thumb inflammation, which have impacted his performance and playing time.
- His offensive numbers have declined from a strong 2025 season (.311/.355/.444) to a down year in 2026 (.266/.298/.388), reflecting the impact of injuries on his production.
- The Athletics, currently holding the worst record in the majors at 49-78, will cover shortstop with players like Darell Hernaiz, Alika Williams, and Donovan Walton as they finish the season.
- Prospect Leo De Vries, considered a top talent with defensive potential at shortstop, could be promoted to Triple-A soon and may challenge for a big league role in 2027, potentially leading to positional shifts for Wilson within the infield.
