Athletics Rookie Jacob Wilson Placed on IL with Fractured Forearm

Athletics star rookie Jacob Wilson has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured forearm, retroactive to Saturday. The injury dates back to July 8 when he was hit by a pitch, but initial X-rays were negative, and he played through a contusion, even participating in the All-Star Game, before the fracture was confirmed. Wilson, a leading AL Rookie of the Year contender, is batting .312 with 10 home runs and a .793 OPS this season.
