Wilson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson had gone four games without a multi-hit effort, and his homer Thursday was his first since June 5. The shortstop is batting .410 (25-for-61) over 16 games this month, though just five of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. Wilson continues to be a contact machine, batting .359 with a .908 OPS, nine homers, 39 RBI, 40 runs scored and five stolen bases over 71 contests. He tied Aaron Judge with 101 hits to lead the majors so far this season, and no other player has more than 94 through Thursday's action.

Wilson (hamstring) is in the Athletics' starting lineup Friday and is batting second against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed the final two games of the Athletics' series against the Angels earlier this week and had the off day Thursday, so he's back in action after getting three days of rest due to a tight hamstring. Wilson is slashing .366/.402/.520 with eight home runs, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored and five stolen bases across 272 plate appearances this season.

Wilson (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to left hamstring tightness and will miss a second straight start. The Athletics are off Thursday, so Wilson will hope to re-enter the lineup Friday in Kansas City. Max Schuemann will again fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Wilson reported tightness in his left hamstring before Tuesday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Mark Kotsay said the decision to take Wilson out of the starting lineup before Tuesday's game was precautionary, so it doesn't seem like the rookie shortstop is in danger of missing significant time. The 23-year-old has been on fire since the start of June, slashing .500/.500/.676 across 36 plate appearances.

Wilson was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
It's currently unknown why Wilson was taken out of the starting nine Tuesday, but the A's should offer some more details in the near future. In the meantime, Max Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Wilson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson dealt with a neck issue that kept him out of action Tuesday, but he's gone 8-for-13 over three games since returning to the lineup. It's part of a larger surge that has seen the shortstop log 11 multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, batting .463 (31-for-67) in that stretch. He's up to a .369/.407/.527 slash line over 61 contests this season, which shows he's had no trouble adjusting to the majors in his first full big-league campaign.

Wilson (neck) is starting at shortstop and batting second Wednesday against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old sat out Tuesday's contest after he tweaked his neck during Monday's series opener versus Minnesota, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Wilson has been on fire at the plate over the past couple weeks with a .426 average (23-for-54), four doubles, two homers, three steals, six RBI and six runs in his past 14 games.

Wilson (neck) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson had to sit out Tuesday's contest after tweaking his neck on a dive back into first base during Monday's game. He felt much better by the end of the night Tuesday and it appears it will be just a one-day absence for the rookie shortstop.
