Jacob Wilson was pulled from the Athletics' lineup Monday against the Royals due to left shoulder soreness, per Robert Falkoff of MLB.com.
The scratch came late, meaning Wilson had been in the original lineup before the soreness prompted the change. No timetable or further diagnostic detail appears in the report.
What we don't know yet
The material does not indicate whether Wilson underwent imaging, how the soreness developed, or whether he is expected to miss additional time beyond Monday's game. Those details remain unconfirmed.
The broader picture
The Athletics are navigating a thin stretch on the health front. Tyler Soderstrom was placed on the 10-day IL with left hip impingement — the second such stint for him this season — leaving the roster with one fewer option behind the plate. Wilson's late scratch adds another name to the watch list, even if the severity is not yet clear.
For now, Wilson's status beyond Monday is simply unknown, and the Athletics have not announced any corresponding roster move in connection with the scratch.
