Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Athletics reinstated Wilson (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
The 24-year-old shortstop has been on the shelf nearly two weeks due to right thumb inflammation, and it's a bit of a surprise he's returning so quickly given that it was recently reported by MLB.com that he hadn't been swinging a bat since landing on the IL. Wilson is apparently good to go, however, and should reclaim the starting job at shortstop now that he's healthy. Through 50 games this season, he has a .277/.310/.386 slash line with four home runs, two steals, 26 RBI and 23 runs in 214 plate appearances.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Not hitting since landing on shelf
Rotowire
Wilson (thumb) hasn't resumed hitting since landing on the injured list June 29 and isn't expected to be available to play until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
The Athletics likely won't have a good feel for a target date for Wilson's return until he's able to resume full baseball activities, but the 24-year-old appears to be shut down from activity for now while he waits for the swelling in his right thumb to subside. Since Wilson was placed on the IL, Alika Williams and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer have been sharing time at shortstop.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Shifts to injured list
Rotowire
The Athletics placed Wilson (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Monday due to right thumb inflammation.
Wilson had been held out of the lineup for the previous four games due to an injury that the Athletics had been labeling as left shoulder soreness, but his placement on the IL is being attributed to a different injury. In any case, Wilson's stint on the IL is retroactive to Friday, so he could return to action for the final week before the All-Star break if he's able to make a swift recovery from the swollen thumb. The Athletics called up Joshua Kuroda-Grauer from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move, and he and Alika Williams could share time at shortstop while Wilson is on the shelf.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Available off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) isn't starting against the Angels on Saturday, but he's available off the bench and could be back in the starting lineup Sunday, Michael Huntley of the Orange County Register reports.
Wilson is beginning on the bench for the third straight game while nursing a left shoulder issue. However, manager Mark Kotsay indicated before the contest that the 24-year-old infielder won't need an IL stint and could come off the bench Saturday. Alika Williams is starting at shortstop for a third consecutive contest, but it sounds like that run could end with Wilson's potential return Sunday.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Missing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

The Athletics deemed Wilson available off the bench for Saturday's 5-2 loss, though the 24-year-old ultimately went unused. Wilson can be viewed as day-to-day heading into a three-game series with the Dodgers that begins Monday.

Alika Williams will pick up a start in Wilson's absence and bat ninth.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Out of Athletics' lineup
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Francisco.
Wilson was forced to exit Wednesday's contest when he injured his left shoulder on a play at home plate. It's the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this season, costing him a month of action at the time. It's not yet clear whether the apparent aggravation of that injury will lead to another extended absence for Wilson, but the fact he wasn't placed on the injured list prior to Thursday's contest is seemingly a good sign. Alika Williams is filling in at shortstop in the series finale.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Out with shoulder subluxation
Rotowire
The Athletics placed Wilson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation.
Wilson injured the shoulder while diving for a ball during Sunday's game against the Orioles. A subluxation is a partial dislocation, so Wilson's absence could be an extended one. Per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, Wilson will go through exercises to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder before he's cleared for baseball activities. Darell Hernaiz should see the lion's share of playing time at shortstop for the A's while Wilson is out.
