Athletics placed SS Jacob Wilson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 26, with right thumb inflammation.
The Athletics attempted to give Wilson some time off to avoid a trip to the injured list, but they were left with little choice heading into Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers after he missed their previous four contests with a shoulder issue. It’s a bit strange to see him hit the shelf with a different injury altogether. No word yet concerning how much time the 24-year-old shortstop will miss. He’s been snake-bitten by injuries this season, which have limited him to just 50 games.
