2 weeks agoThe Oakland Athletics optioned infielder Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas after Sunday's game, with the logical assumption being that top prospect Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is ready to rejoin the major-league club. Wilson, 22, has played the field, completed a full nine innings and looks to be ready after injuring his hamstring in his MLB just after the All-Star break. In his seven games with Vegas, Wilson went 9-for-23 (.391) with a .462 on-base percentage. When he returns to Oakland, it's likely we'll see Max Schuemann slide over to third base for regular playing time, while Wilson becomes the regular shortstop to close out the year. There could also be some mixing and matching with Abraham Toro and Tyler Nevin at the hot corner, but for the most part it will be Wilson at the 6 and Schuemann at third. Wilson, the son of former big-leaguer Jack Wilson, is worth a look in mixed leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
