The Athletics placed Wilson (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Friday.
Wilson is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 campaign as he continues to deal with soreness in the left shoulder that he separated earlier in the season. Wilson wraps up his second MLB season having slashed just .266/.298/.388 with seven home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 12:39 BB:K across 337 trips to the plate. The shoulder injury likely contributed to his OPS dipping from .800 last season to just .685 in 2026.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Likely out for remainder of season
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list and is unlikely to return this season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Wilson is missing a fourth consecutive start for the Athletics on Thursday as he deals with nagging soreness in his left shoulder. The shortstop suffered a dislocated left shoulder earlier this season, and he is headed back to Sacramento to be examined by a doctor before the next steps are determined. Even if Wilson doesn't ultimately require surgery, it sounds like he will be shut down for the rest of the campaign. Wilson was limited to only 80 games this season, slashing a disappointing .266/.298/.388with seven home runs. With Wilson sidelined, the Athletics could use a combination of Darell Hernaiz and Alika Williams at shortstop for the time being. Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) will also be an option at the position when he returns.
