A's place All-Star SS Jacob Wilson (fractured forearm) on IL
Wilson was been hindered since being drilled on the arm with a pitch in the first inning of a game against the Atlanta Braves on July 8. X-rays at the time were negative.
Wilson missed the next three games and avoided an IL stint due to wanting to play in the All-Star Game on July 15. Wilson was the American League's starting shortstop in that contest.
The injury continued to linger after the break and Wilson's production plummeted. He was in a 4-for-38 tailspin in nine games since the beaning before sitting out the past three games and four of the last five.
Wilson is batting .312 with 10 homers and 45 RBIs in 94 games. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 draft was hitting .372 as recently as June 8.
Wilson, 23, was the leading candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year over the first half of the season. But the injury -- now leading to further absences -- combined with teammate Nick Kurtz's epic rise appears to position the latter as the favorite.
The Athletics recalled infielder Darell Hernaiz from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the roster opening.
He is batting ninth and playing shortstop in Tuesday's home game against the Seattle Mariners.
Hernaiz, who turns 24 on Sunday, is batting .305 with four homers and 50 RBIs through 96 games in Triple-A this season.
Hernaiz played 48 games in the majors last season and batted .192 with one homer and 12 RBIs.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested on domestic violence offense at airport
Reigning 100m world champion Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was arrested Sunday on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense, according to a police report obtained by the Associated Press. On Thursday, she ran in the opening round of the women's 100m at US track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. The 25-year-old Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6.54pm last Sunday and released Monday at 1.13pm. 'USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter,' USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She had a positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics.
