A's Activate SS Jacob Wilson and Place OF Brent Rooker on Injured List with a Left Knee Bruise
Jacob Wilson returned after a month on the injured list, while Brent Rooker was sidelined after a left knee bruise worsened.
- On Friday, the Athletics activated shortstop Jacob Wilson from the injured list and placed designated hitter Brent Rooker on the 10-day IL retroactive to Tuesday because of a bone bruise in his left knee.
- Rooker missed victories against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday and Wednesday, prompting further evaluation. Manager Mark Kotsay said the knee was not 'staying stable' and worsened, leading to the IL decision.
- Wilson returns following a month-long absence due to a dislocated left shoulder. Rooker is hitting.200 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs over 48 games this year.
- Kotsay said Rooker received a cortisone injection to assist healing, with 'a chance we get him back in 10 days' once fully stable. The decision prioritizes complete recovery before activation.
- The Athletics are in Las Vegas for a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies, with Wilson returning to the active lineup for the matchup. His activation strengthens the roster heading into the series.
