1 month agoOakland Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is taking batting practice before Monday's series opener against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Wilson is making good progress from a left-hamstring strain, but the A's still plan on being cautious with his hamstring injury. The team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, got a hit in his first MLB at-bat on July 21 but then suffered his hamstring injury shortly thereafter. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick last year out of Grand Canyon University probably won't be an option to return to Oakland for another couple of weeks, which means he's quickly running out of time to contribute to fantasy lineups in 2024. In three different minor-league levels this year before being called up, Wilson hit an absurd .438/.475/.687 with a 1.162 OPS, seven home runs, 34 RBI and 44 runs scored in 46 games.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
