Logs two hits in loss
Wilson went 2-for-4 with a triple in Saturday's loss to the White Sox.
Analysis
Wilson accounted for two of his club's four hits, including his first triple of the campaign, as the Athletics' losing streak reached eight games. After going hitless in his first two games back from the injured list due to right thumb inflammation, the shortstop has recorded two hits in each of the past three contests. Overall, the 24-year-old is slashing .282/.315/.391 with four homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs and two stolen bases across 55 appearances in 2026.

Activated from injured list
The Athletics reinstated Wilson (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Analysis
The 24-year-old shortstop has been on the shelf nearly two weeks due to right thumb inflammation, and it's a bit of a surprise he's returning so quickly given that it was recently reported by MLB.com that he hadn't been swinging a bat since landing on the IL. Wilson is apparently good to go, however, and should reclaim the starting job at shortstop now that he's healthy. Through 50 games this season, he has a .277/.310/.386 slash line with four home runs, two steals, 26 RBI and 23 runs in 214 plate appearances.

Not hitting since landing on shelf
Wilson (thumb) hasn't resumed hitting since landing on the injured list June 29 and isn't expected to be available to play until after the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
The Athletics likely won't have a good feel for a target date for Wilson's return until he's able to resume full baseball activities, but the 24-year-old appears to be shut down from activity for now while he waits for the swelling in his right thumb to subside. Since Wilson was placed on the IL, Alika Williams and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer have been sharing time at shortstop.
