Athletics Shortstop Jacob Wilson Exits With Left Shoulder Sprain

Oakland will reassess him after the road loss, with potential roster moves before Tuesday’s home game.

Overview

  • Wilson left in the fifth inning Sunday at Camden Yards after a diving stop on Gunnar Henderson’s grounder up the middle.
  • He was checked by staff, walked off under his own power, and Darell Hernaiz replaced him at shortstop.
  • Manager Mark Kotsay said postgame that exams showed a left shoulder sprain and that Wilson had his left arm in a sling.
  • Further imaging is planned, and USA Today reported Hernaiz is the likely fill-in if an injured list move follows.
  • Wilson, an All-Star last year and the 2025 Rookie of the Year runner-up, is hitting .292 for the 21–19 A’s who lead the AL West.
