Wilson (hamstring), who played a full game at shortstop in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Reno on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a two-run double, is feeling great on his rehab assignment and could be activated from the IL this week, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news was relayed via manager Mark Kotsay before Wilson played a full game Sunday, giving all the more weight to the statement. The rookie had notably logged seven innings on defense Saturday as well, seemingly corroborating his hamstring is back to full health. Wilson has swung a hot bat throughout his time with the Aviators, posting a .391 average (9-for-23) with three doubles, five RBI, two walks and four runs.

Wilson (hamstring) started at shortstop and played seven innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Reno on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with a run.
EDGE Analysis
It was Wilson's second consecutive seven-inning defensive stint during his rehab assignment, another indication the rookie infielder is close to or at full health. Wilson's bat seems to have its timing back as well, as he's now put together three straight two-hit games for the Aviators and has four such tallies overall in six rehab games.

Wilson (hamstring) played seven innings at shortstop and a full game at DH in Triple-A Las Vegas' games against Reno on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, going a combined 2-for-6 with an RBI, two walks and a run.
EDGE Analysis
All of Wilson's offensive contributions in that span came in the latter contest, and he's now hitting .364 (4-for-11) over his four-game rehab stint. Wilson is slated to play again for the Aviators on Thursday and could potentially put in a full nine innings on defense for the first time during his time with Las Vegas.

Wilson (hamstring) is scheduled to play seven innings in a rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was able to play on consecutive days for Las Vegas over the weekend, and he's now set to suit up for the Triple-A club Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The Athletics plan to have him alternate starts at designated hitter and shortstop over his next three appearances. While manager Mark Kotsay still doesn't have a timetable on Wilson's potential activation from the injured list, the skipper confirmed that the rookie wouldn't be a candidate to return until at least next week.

Wilson (hamstring) started at shortstop and played five innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday, going 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch.
EDGE Analysis
The main takeaway from Wilson's second rehab game was his ability to suit up on consecutive days and play defense for the first time. The rookie infielder may get at least one game off with the Aviators before potentially upping his defensive workload in his next appearance with the affiliate.

Wilson (hamstring) started at designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a run.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson took the first three plate appearances of the game out of the leadoff spot before being pinch hit for by Jordan Diaz. The rookie shortstop may have a chance to play at least a partial game on defense in his next appearance for the Aviators as he continues to test his previously injured hamstring.

Wilson (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been sidelined since straining his left hamstring during his major-league debut July 19, but he's progressed to the point that he's ready to play in games again. The young shortstop shouldn't need an extended rehab assignment before rejoining the Athletics' active roster. Wilson was expected to receive regular run at shortstop prior to the injury, and incumbent starter Max Schuemann's .521 OPS thus far in August is unlikely to change those plans.

Wilson (hamstring) will travel to Triple-A Las Vegas this week to continue his rehab, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Assuming Wilson doesn't run into any setbacks, the expectation is that he could begin playing in rehab games with the Aviators by Saturday. The A's haven't yet decided how long they'll keep the 22-year-old in the minors, but beginning an assignment Saturday would give him plenty of time to potentially return to action with Oakland before the end of the month.

Wilson (hamstring) took batting practice Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been progressing well in his recovery from a strained left hamstring and participated in batting practice for the first time since being placed on the IL on July 21. Still, the Athletics are taking it slow with the 22-year-old, who isn't expected back for multiple weeks.

EDGE Analysis
The promising rookie is also playing catch up to 90 feet and doing some light jogging. Wilson remains without a timetable for return, although these latest developments spark some optimism he can be ready for activation at some point before the end of August, likely following a brief rehab assignment.
