Wilson removed after suffering injury on diving play up the middle 

BALTIMORE -- Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson exited Sunday’s series finale at Camden Yards against the Orioles under his own power in the fifth inning after a left shoulder injury that came while diving to field Gunnar Henderson’s infield single.

Wilson tracked Henderson’s ground ball up the middle, laying out at full stretch to glove it in the shallow outfield grass behind second base.

Wilson had no play regardless, but he immediately grimaced in pain while corralling the grounder and, once to his feet, appeared to be favoring something on his left upper body.

Manager Mark Kotsay and team medical personnel paid a visit before deciding to lift him for Darell Hernaiz in a straight swap.

Wilson exited the A's 2-1 loss after going 1-for-2 at the plate, closing a tough series for the 24-year-old. In Saturday’s 6-2 win, he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in a performance that halted a 12-game hitting streak. On the first two strikeouts, he used up both of the Athletics’ ABS challenges on called third strikes that were upheld.
