Shock for Athletics: Star Rookie Jacob Wilson Sidelined by Mysterious Forearm Fracture—What’s Next for the Team?

The injury dates back to July 8, when Wilson was hit by a pitch in the first inning of a matchup with the Atlanta Braves. Wilson left the game after taking the pitch directly to his forearm and wrist.
Wilson, though, didn’t miss much time after that. Initial X-rays were negative, and he sat just three games with a contusion before returning. Wilson then played in the All-Star Game the following week.
He returned after the break, too, and last appeared in the Athletics’ 15-3 win over the Houston Astros on Friday. Wilson had one hit and one RBI in that blowout win.
