Jacob Wilson likely to miss remainder of season with shoulder injury

Oakland Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is expected to be placed on the injured list, with reports suggesting his 2026 season may be over due to a left shoulder injury. Wilson is traveling to Sacramento for medical evaluation.

This development follows a season plagued by physical setbacks for the infielder, who previously dealt with a left shoulder subluxation in May and subsequent right thumb inflammation. Wilson has appeared in 80 games this season, posting a .266 batting average, a decline from his previous season performance.

The injury adds to a difficult year for the Athletics, who currently hold the worst record in Major League Baseball at 49-78. The team has also recently lost outfielder Tyler Soderstrom to season-ending hip surgery.
