Wilson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run against Cleveland in an 8-2 victory Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson took part in a late Athletics power barrage with a two-run blast in the ninth inning. The rookie phenom wasn't projected to hit for much power coming into the campaign after failing to go deep over 103 plate appearances last year, but he's shown a bit of pop with 10 home runs through 89 contests. Add those to a .327/.369/.461 slash line, 44 RBI, 45 runs and five steals, and Wilson has emerged as a leading contender for AL Rookie of the Year honors.

EDGE Analysis
Wilson sat out three consecutive games after taking a pitch off his left hand Tuesday, but he'll manage to make it back for the penultimate game before the All-Star break. The 23-year-old shortstop has gone 3-for-12 with two RBI and a run scored in five games since the beginning of July.

Wilson (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson isn't part of the starting nine for a third consecutive game after being hit by a pitch in the left hand Tuesday. The shortstop should still be considered day-to-day. In his place, Max Muncy will bat seventh and play shortstop.

Wilson was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's contest immediately after getting plunked, but it seems he managed to escape the incident with no more than a bruise. The 23-year-old shortstop should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, though the A's may still give him a day or two off to heal properly.

Wilson was removed from Tuesday's game against Atlanta after getting hit on the left arm by a pitch, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
A 97-mph fastball connected with Wilson's arm during his first-inning plate appearance, immediately forcing the young shortstop out of the game. The A's will presumably take him in for imaging, and an update on his status should be available in the near future. Max Schuemann entered the game as Wilson's replacement and would be the favorite to start at shortstop if the latter needs to miss any amount of time.

Wilson (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and one run scored in Friday's 11-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson missed the Athletics' previous two games due to a hamstring issue. He was back in the starting lineup Friday, batting second, and he played seven innings in the field before Max Schuemann took over at shortstop in the blowout win. Wilson looks good to go moving forward, which is a big boost for the Athletics' offense. While his consistency has wavered recently -- he's hitting a modest .232 over his last 19 games -- he's still at a .337/.379/.474 slash line with nine home runs, 42 RBI, 43 runs scored, five stolen bases and 17 doubles through 82 contests overall.

Wilson (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 4-3 win due to a right hamstring issue and will be out of commission again for Wednesday's matinee. The Athletics are off Thursday, so Wilson will aim to return to action Friday versus the Giants for the start of a homestand.

Wilson was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays due to right hamstring soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Mark Kotsay added that Wilson could also sit down Wednesday due to an early start time and an off day Thursday, though it will likely depend on how the young infielder is feeling at that point. In the meantime, Max Schuemann will start at shortstop and bat ninth for the A's on Tuesday.
