Darell

Hernaiz

There’s been no indication that Wilson will require a trip to the injured list after being scratched from Monday’s lineup with left shoulder soreness. It’ll be Darell Hernaiz taking over at shortstop with Alika Williams at second base in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

With Tyler Soderstrom (hip) landing on the injured list on Sunday, Hernaiz will get another opportunity to show the A’s what he can do at the MLB level. The 25-year-old has hit .237/.318/.288 with one homer, seven RBI and three stolen bases in 134 plate appearances with the A’s this season.

Hernaiz gets the boot from the active roster with Zack Gelof (hand) back from the 10-day injured list. Hernaiz will likely be the first option if/when the A’s need some infield depth later in the campaign.

Hernaiz returns to the majors with Jacob Wilson hitting the injured list with a thumb issue. The 24-year-old is likely ticketed for a bench role after hitting an underwhelming .237/.318/.288 with one homer and three steals in 47 games earlier this season.

Hernaiz returns to the minors with Max Muncy back from the injured list ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Brewers. The 24-year-old infielder has hit an underwhelming .237/.318/.288 with one homer and three steals in 47 games this season. It’ll presumably be Alika Williams handling the bulk of the shortstop duties until Jacob Wilson (shoulder) is ready to return later this month.

According to the Athletics training staff, Wilson will begin a rehabilitation program to strengthen and stabilize his shoulder before he’s cleared to resume baseball activities. There is no timetable for his return and fantasy managers should anticipate a lengthy absence. The 24-year-old contact-oriented shortstop was hitting .292/.311/.398 with three homers, 19 RBI and two steals in 39 games prior to suffering the injury during Sunday’s game against the Orioles. It’ll likely be Darrell Hernaiz taking over at shortstop in his place.

Wilson might be IL bound after leaving Sunday’s game. That would probably result in Darell Hernaiz getting a look at short in Sacramento, with Michael Stefanic being added from Triple-A.

Gelof has mostly played against lefties since getting called up, but this is his second straight start against a righty. Hernaiz had started nine straight games prior to yesterday. Sporting both the best strikeout rate and bat speed of his career, Gelof is batting .255/.300/.426 through 52 plate appearances. If he reemerges as a regular and gets back to stealing bases, there’s a chance he could offer some mixed-league value in a fantastic situation for hitters in Sacramento.

It’s a bit unclear how long Muncy will be sidelined at this juncture. However, it turns out the 23-year-old third baseman was playing through a fractured finger for nearly two weeks after being hit by a pitch back on April 13, which caused his overall numbers at the plate to plummet. It’ll likely be Darrell Hernaiz taking over at the hot corner in his absence.

It looks to be just a routine day off for the 24-year-old shortstop. Darell Hernaiz will start in his place and will bat eighth for the Athletics against Mets’ ace Freddy Peralta on Sunday afternoon in New York.
