Overall
Summary
Jacob Wilson, All-Star shortstop for the Oakland Athletics, suffered a left shoulder sprain on May 10, 2026, while diving to cut off a ground ball during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Wilson was removed in the fifth inning and was seen wearing a sling. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated additional imaging would be needed to determine the full extent of the injury and timeline for return. Wilson is expected to land on at least the 10-Day IL, with his season potentially in jeopardy depending on severity. This comes after Wilson signed a 7-year, $70MM extension following a strong 2025 rookie season (.311/.355/.444, 13 HR, 2nd in AL ROY voting), though his 2026 numbers have declined to .292/.311/.398 with 3 HR in 168 PA.
