Updated May 19, 2026
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson suffered a dislocated left shoulder on May 10, 2026, while diving for a ground ball during the fifth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Wilson was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Monday. The injury occurred when Wilson dove to cut off Gunnar Henderson's infield single. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated additional imaging would be needed to determine the full timeline for recovery. Wilson was seen wearing a sling on his left arm following the game. The 24-year-old All-Star was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 draft and signed a seven-year, $70MM extension. His 2026 season has seen a decline in performance compared to his 2025 rookie campaign.
