Morning AN!
Shortstop Jacob Wilson got plunked on the left arm a couple of days ago, eventually getting removed form the game via pinch-hitter Max Schuemann. There was immediate worry that the team’s best and most consistent player may have sustained a serious injury even after playing a couple of innings in the field after the initial plunking form Angels starter Kyle Hendricks:

Wilson thankfully seems to be okay after that scare as A’s beat writer Martin Gallegos reported that the young infielder would actually be available off the bench if needed tonight:
