WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson left Tuesday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels after getting hit by pitch on the left forearm.
The 23-year-old Wilson — who is hitting .341 and in the midst of a breakout season — was hit by an 86 mph sinker from Kyle Hendricks in the third inning. Max Schuemann replaced him as a pinch hitter.
The A's called the injury a contusion.
Wilson was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 draft and has quickly turned into one of the Athletics' most important players.
