Scouting Report: Jacob Cozart
Overall
Summary
Jacob Wilson (Athletics shortstop) suffered a left shoulder sprain on May 10, 2026, while diving to cut off an infield single during a game against the Orioles. Wilson was seen wearing a sling and will undergo imaging to determine the severity and timeline for return. Manager Mark Kotsay indicated Wilson will likely be placed on at least the 10-day IL, with potential season implications depending on sprain severity. Wilson is coming off a strong 2025 rookie season (.311/.355/.444, 13 HR) but has seen declining offensive production in 2026 (.292/.311/.398, 3 HR in 168 PA) with a very low 3.0% walk rate and increased strikeout rate, though he maintains elite contact rates.
Strengths
- Elite contact rate maintained in 2026
