Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson stayed red-hot at the plate in his team's 11-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Wilson went 4-for-5 with two homers, two runs, and four RBI to help power his team to the win. The game goes down as the first multi-homer game of the rookie's career. Wilson is impressing thus far this season, hitting .363 with five homers, 24 runs, 26 RBI, and two steals across 160 at-bats. He is hitting a blistering .484 with two homers and nine RBI over his past seven games as he makes an early case for Rookie of the Year in the American League. Wilson should be locked into fantasy lineups moving forward.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson continued to impress at the plate during Monday evening's victory over the Seattle Mariners. In this game, Wilson went 3-for-6 with three RBI. He hit a game-tying RBI single in the 10th inning, which scored outfielder JJ Bleday. Later in the 11th, Wilson would tally the game-winning RBI single, which scored first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom. This was also Wilson's third-straight game tallying at least two hits. Over his last 10 contests, the former sixth overall pick has posted an impressive .366/.422/.439 slash line. However, during this stretch, he hit just one extra-base hit (a home run). Through his first 34 games this season, the rookie shortstop has continued to flash upside, posting a .341/.364/.452 slash line. He will look to stay hot on Tuesday, facing Seattle right-hander Emerson Hancock.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson continued his hot start with a 3-for-4 night at the plate in a 6-5 win over the White Sox on Friday, smacking his third home run of the year and collecting two RBI in the contest. The former first-rounder has now hit safely in 23 of the first 25 games, slashing a robust .347/.354/.500 with a .374 wOBA and a 149 wRC+. With a low 5.1 percent strikeout rate and 91.5 percent contact rate, expect the right-handed hitter to continue to put the bat on the ball, and hitting at Sutter Health Park may even provide a little more power than fantasy managers were expecting. The 23-year-old is putting together a strong case for AL Rookie of the Year, and can continue to be used in both season-long and DFS formats.

Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson is not in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago. Rookie Max Muncy will take his place at shortstop and will hit ninth against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. This will be Wilson's first day off of the 2025 season. The 23-year-old prospect and former sixth overall pick in 2023 out of Grand Canyon University has lived up to expectations so far this and entered Wednesday's action slashing .333/.333/.485 with an .818 OPS, two homers, eight RBI and 11 runs scored for fantasy managers. Expect him to be back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. Muncy, another first-rounder, has been a bit overmatched at the plate in his first 16 MLB games, going 10-for-54 (.185) with a homer, four doubles, four RBI, on walk and 16 strikeouts. He should be avoided as a DFS play in the nine-hole.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI during their 6-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday afternoon. Wilson tallied his first hit with a solo blast in the fourth inning off Colorado starter Ryan Feltner. Later in the 11th inning, the former sixth overall pick would play the hero as he hit a go-ahead two-run single, which scored JJ Bleday and Shea Langeliers. Wilson has tallied at least one hit in the first eight games of the regular season and posted two straight multi-hit outings. He has gone deep twice and added a double with five total RBI. Wilson received a brief taste of the majors last season but was only able to appear in 28 games before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. The 23-year-old remains a strong No. 1 shortstop in all formats as he continues this impressive start. On Saturday, he will look to push his streak to nine games against German Marquez.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson extended his hitting streak to seven games during Wednesday's loss to the Chicago Cubs. In this contest, Wilson went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double. This was his first multi-hit outing of the regular season. Over his previous six games, Wilson tallied at least one hit in all of them. He hit his first career MLB home run on March 31. The former sixth overall selection received a brief taste of the major leagues last season before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. However, he was able to win the starting shortstop job during camp and has become a valuable asset in all fantasy formats. Through seven games this season, the 23-year-old has held an overall .375/.375/.542 slash line with three runs and two RBI. Even though he typically bats at the back-half of the lineup, he is a viable starting middle infielder in all leagues, especially if you are looking to boost your batting average production.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 1-for-2 with a home run during their loss to the Chicago Cubs on Monday evening. Wilson hit his solo shot off young Chicago right-hander Ben Brown in the third inning. Later in the contest, he would tally his second RBI on a groundout. Wilson has tallied at least one hit in each of his first five games of the regular season. Across this stint, he posted a .294/.294/.471 slash line with just one extra-base hit, which was Monday's long ball. He has yet to strike out this season, but has also not drawn a walk. Wilson progressed through the minor leagues very quickly last season and was able to appear in 28 MLB games before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. Through his first 33 MLB games, the former sixth overall pick has held a .257/.311/.339 line. He is worth starting in all deeper formats as a middle infielder, given his upside to provide a solid batting average.

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 1-for-3 with a single on Opening Day. Wilson got the starting nod at shortstop and batted in the nine-hole. He hit a single in the third frame off Seattle ace Logan Gilbert. Wilson made his MLB debut last summer but only appeared in 25 games before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. During his brief taste of the majors, the former sixth overall pick posted a .250/.314/.315 slash line. He generated a strong .266 xBA while holding a strong 9.7 percent strikeout rate. In the minor leagues, Wilson flashed elite contact skills. Across 53 games last season, split between Double and Triple-A, Wilson posted a .433/.473/.668 slash line with a 14:15 BB:K. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor his progression as he could become a viable middle infielder who could significantly improve your batting average output.
