Wilson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It's a routine day off for Wilson, as Max Schuemann will bat ninth and play shortstop. Wilson is batting .321/.333/.459 with three home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and just six strikeouts across 112 plate appearances this season.

Wilson went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie shortstop got hold of a Sean Burke slider on the inner part of the plate to lead off the fifth inning with a solo shot. It was Wilson's third homer in 25 games to begin the season, an impressive showing considering he managed only seven home runs in 103 games across all levels in 2024. His ability to make contact is still the driving factor for his fantasy value, however -- Wilson is slashing .347/.354/.500 through 99 plate appearances with one steal, 14 RBI and 15 runs.

Wilson is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has started the 2025 season strongly, slashing .333/.333/.485 with 11 runs scored, two home runs and eight RBI in 66 plate appearances while starting in every single game. It appears he's just getting the day off Wednesday, with Max Muncy shifting to shortstop and Luis Urias receiving the start at second base against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon.

Wilson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run while collecting two more RBI and scoring another run in Friday's 6-3 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's solo shot in the fourth inning officially brought his hitting streak to eight games, and a two-RBI single in the 11th gave him his second consecutive multi-hit effort while also securing the win for the A's. The 23-year-old is now slashing .379/.379/.621 on the year and currently boasts one of the hottest bats in baseball.

Wilson went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was responsible for three of the Athletics' five hits Wednesday, including his first double of the season in the ninth inning. Wilson has logged a hit in each of the first seven games of the 2025 season and is slashing .375/.375/.542 with three runs scored, one home run and two RBI.

Wilson is starting at shortstop and batting sixth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has batted ninth in five of seven games for the Athletics this season, but this is now the second time he's been up in the six spot. The 23-year-old is 6-for-20 with one home run and two RBI in his first six contests this season and would receive a minor boost in fantasy if he starts hitting higher in the batting order regularly.

Wilson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in an 18-3 loss to the Cubs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson put the Athletics on the board in the third inning with a solo shot to left field. He added another RBI on a groundout in the fourth in what was then a 5-3 game, but Chicago went on to score the final 13 runs to turn the contest into a rout. Wilson isn't known for his power, and Monday's long ball was the first of his major-league career after he failed to go deep over 103 plate appearances as a rookie last season.

Wilson went 1-for-3 in Thursday's loss to the Mariners. He started at shortstop and hit No. 9 in the batting order.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson won the starting shortstop this spring and should be in the lineup nearly every day. The No. 6 overall pick in 2023 has a strong eye at the plate (9.7 K% and 8.0 BB%) that should result in a good batting average despite meager power.

Wilson is hitting just .194 (6-for-31) with two home runs in 10 game this spring, but still appears set as the A's starting shortstop, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The No. 6 overall pick in 2023, Wilson has only needed around 25 games at each of the three highest levels of the minors en route to his big-league debut just after the All-Star break. He quickly suffered a hamstring strain that kept him out until late-August and played just 28 games. Still, he showed enough in the majors that the A's are set to give him everyday duty at shortstop. He has a strong eye at the plate (9.7% K% and 8.0% BB%) that should result in a good batting average despite meager power.

Wilson went 1-for-3 with an RBI walk-off single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie drove home Zack Gelof with one out in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and send the Athletics home winners in their penultimate game at Oakland Coliseum. Wilson now has singles in three straight games, but he's shown very little pop since his late-August return from a long IL stint with just four extra-base hits across 86 plate appearances.
