Athletics Jacob Wilson's hand injury less severe than feared, All-Star Game status uncertain
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The news on Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson's injured left hand was much better than feared; however, his status for Tuesday's All-Star Game is uncertain. 'That's the question I can't answer right now,' manager Mark Kotsay said before Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. 'It's day to day. We hope to get him back before that. Today's a day where there's soreness. The positive is that he can put a bat in his hand.' Wilson, the first fan-elected rookie starting All-Star shortstop, was hit on the hand in the first inning of Tuesday night's 10-1 victory over the Braves. X-rays were negative for a broken bone, so the As were relieved that Wilson shouldn't be out of the lineup long. He is batting .335 with nine home runs and 42 RBIs. 'I think we escaped with Jacob yesterday,' Kotsay said. 'Any time someone takes one in the hand, it could've been worse.' Wilson, selected sixth in the 2023 amateur draft, was the leading candidate for AL Rookie of the Year, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, before the injury. Now he's second, one spot ahead of teammate Nick Kurtz. 'It's a big sigh of relief for sure,' Wilson said after the game. 'The anxiety of waiting the 15–20 minutes after it happened. Nothing was broken. It could've been a lot worse, so everything's good.' Also, As utility player Miguel Andujar was removed from the 10-day injured list, and outfielder Colby Thomas was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas. Andujar was hitting .296 with three homers and 20 RBIs at the time of the injury.

Athletics C Shea Langeliers (oblique) homers in return from IL
July 1 - The Athletics activated catcher Shea Langeliers from the injured list on Monday, and he helped himself to a three-run home run in his first plate appearance of a 6-4 victory over the host Tampa Bay Rays. Langeliers, 27, played his first game since June 5. He was placed on the 10-day IL the following day due to a strained left oblique. Langeliers was fifth in the A's batting order Monday, and he uncorked a 408-foot homer to left-center off Rays starter Drew Rasmussen in the first inning. The three-run shot proved crucial in the two-run win. Langeliers finished the game 1-for-4, leaving his batting average at .237 for the year. The fourth-year player was off to a promising start before his injury, as he had 10 homers, 10 doubles and 27 RBIs in his first 56 games. In corresponding roster moves before the game, the Athletics recalled right-handed pitcher Justin Sterner and selected outfielder Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas, while optioning right-hander Tyler Ferguson, catcher Willie MacIver and outfielder JJ Bleday to Triple-A. The most notable of those names was Bleday, an everyday player for the A's in 2024 who was batting just .191 through 62 games in 2025. He had eight homers and 22 RBIs. He was optioned to Las Vegas in late May and spent six games there. --Field Level Media

Shea Langeliers hits a 3-run homer for the A's in his return from an oblique injury
Shea Langeliers hit a three-run homer in his first at-bat with the Athletics after he was sidelined for 3 1⁄2 weeks with a strained left oblique. Langeliers was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The catcher connected with two outs in the first inning in the opener of a three-game series at Tampa Bay, driving a 96-mph sinker from Drew Rasmussen deep to left-center. Langeliers's 11th homer of the season had an exit velocity of 111.1 mph and traveled 408 feet. The A's also brought up right-hander Justin Sterner and outfielder Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas. Outfielder JJ Bleday, catcher Willie MacIver, and right-hander Tyler Ferguson were sent down. The 27-year-old Langeliers got hurt when he fouled off a pitch from Minnesota's Kody Funderburk on June 5. He went 8 for 13 with a homer and four RBIs in three rehab games with Las Vegas. Langeliers was a first-round pick in the 2019 amateur draft.
