Shock for Athletics: Star Rookie Jacob Wilson Sidelined by Mysterious Forearm Fracture—What’s Next for the Team?
Considering it’s a fracture, Wilson could be sidelined for a significant amount of time recovering. The former No. 6 overall pick in the draft is batting .312 this season with 10 home runs and a .793 OPS. He was a favorite in the Rookie of the Year race, too, though it’s unclear if that will hold now with him out.

The A’s recalled Darrell Hernaiz on Tuesday, so he could help replace Wilson for the time being. Hernaiz was batting .305 with four home runs and 50 RBIs with their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas.
