Athletics Announce Jacob Wilson News Before Angels Game
Athletics Announce Jacob Wilson News Before Angels Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Athletics (26-42) and the Los Angeles Angels (31-34) will face off again on Tuesday in a battle of the losing California MLB teams. They're each well behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (40-27), San Francisco Giants (38-28), and the San Diego Padres (37-28).

However, the Athletics are the worst of the five clubs in their first season in Sacramento, thanks largely to their 0-5 record vs. the Angels this season. The Athletics hosted Los Angeles in May and got swept in four games.
They also lost 7-4 to the Angels on Monday, and now they'll have to play them without infielder Jacob Wilson on Tuesday, via their social media.

The Athletics announced that Wilson had been scratched just hours before the game, and no reason was given at the time. It has since been revealed Wilson is dealing with left hamstring tightness (via Martín Gallegos of MLB.com). Fellow infielder Luis Urías replaced the 23-year-old.

Wilson is slashing .366/.402/.520 with eight homers and 38 RBI in 64 games thus far. The 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pounder's batting average ranks second in baseball, and he's 11th with a .922 OPS.
Wilson played his first 28 MLB games in 2024, slashing .250/.314/.315 with three RBI.
The Athletics are in last place in the AL West and are 11.5 games behind the first-place Houston Astros (36-29). After they finish their Angels series, they'll continue their road trip vs. the Kansas City Royals (34-32) before hosting the Astros and the Cleveland Guardians (34-31).
They will then hit the road again to play the Detroit Tigers (43-24), New York Yankees (39-25), and Tampa Bay Rays (36-30).

Diamondbacks sign veteran pitcher Anthony DeSclafani
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed free-agent pitcher Anthony DeSclafani and placed him on the major-league roster Sunday. DeSclafani, 35, recently opted out of a minor-league deal with the New York Yankees. He pitched for their Triple-A team at Scranton, where he had a 4.50 ERA in five starts. Advertisement Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said before Sunday's game against San Diego that the veteran right-hander will work out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, Bryce Jarvis was optioned to Triple-A Reno, and to make room on Arizona's 40-man roster, Justin Martínez was moved to the 60-day injured list. Martínez will undergo surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament and miss the rest of this season. Arizona has also lost Corbin Burnes (Tommy John surgery) and A.J. Puk has been sidelined since April 17 with elbow inflammation. Puk was shut down from his rehab program last week after experiencing discomfort in his elbow and is consulting about possible surgery. DeSclafani is 54-56 with a 4.20 ERA in his career. He was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA for San Francisco in 2021, but last pitched in the majors in July 2023. He was sidelined all of last season after having flexor tendon surgery on his pitching arm. ___ AP MLB:
