Wilson

Wilson was set to miss the remainder of the season with a left shoulder subluxation anyways and will spend the offseason recovering from the surgical procedure. The 24-year-old shortstop should be ready to return to game action at some point during spring training, but there won’t be an official timetable from the club until after the surgery.

This officially puts Wilson out for the year after 80 games in which he hit .268/.298/.388 with seven homers and four steals. It probably won’t be long before we get an announcement about him requiring shoulder surgery.

This was reported to be happening yesterday and we now have official confirmation. Wilson is unlikely to play again this year and can be dropped in any re-draft formats where you were holding out hope for the Sacramento home park to help him out. Based on reporting he seems likely to undergo some sort of shoulder surgery in the near future.

Wilson has missed five of the last six games while dealing with a shoulder injury that will likely require offseason surgery. With the A’s going nowhere, this move makes plenty of sense — might as well get the rehab started early. Wilson hit .266/.298/.388 in 80 games this year while dealing with the injury.

Darell Hernaiz is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against RHP Randy Dobnak. Wilson remains a prime candidate to head to the injured list, especially now that the Athletics lineup is already injury-depleted as they finish off the season.

Wilson takes a seat for the third consecutive game as he continues to deal with left shoulder soreness. It’s challenging to rule out a potential trip to the injured list, especially with the Athletics no longer in the mix for a playoff spot, but Wilson remains day-to-day for the moment. It’ll be Donovan Walton getting a look at shortstop on Wednesday evening.

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.

Alika Williams takes over at shortstop. It’s somewhat encouraging that Wilson’s absence isn’t related to a finger issue that cost him time over the weekend. It’s also not his throwing shoulder. There should be some additional clarity on his status at some point later this week. The Athletics have been ravaged by injuries to key contributors and they’ll likely proceed with an abundance of caution here.

Wilson was removed from Friday’s game after being hit by a pitch and sat out Saturday’s game due to swelling in his finger. He’s back in there at shortstop and batting third against Rangers’ southpaw Cody Bradford on Sunday afternoon in West Sacramento.

Wilson still has some swelling in the finger. Alika Williams is playing shortstop tonight.
