Overview
- Jacob Wilson, Oakland's rookie shortstop, left Tuesday's game against the Angels after suffering a left forearm contusion from a Kyle Hendricks pitch.
- Wilson initially stayed in the game but exited before his next at-bat in the fifth inning, accompanied by team trainers.
- Max Schuemann replaced Wilson, pinch-hitting and later taking over at shortstop for the remainder of the game.
- Wilson, a 2023 first-round draft pick, has been a standout performer this season with a .341 batting average, five home runs, and 26 RBIs through 47 games.
- The Athletics are assessing Wilson's status and may rely on infield depth, including Schuemann and other prospects, if he requires time on the injured list.
