KANSAS CITY -- Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson was scratched from Monday’s lineup prior to their 9-5 loss due to shoulder soreness as the A’s opened a four-game series against the Royals.
It has been a difficult last few days for Wilson, who exited last Friday’s game after being hit on the left pinkie finger. Wilson sat out the next game against the Rangers, but returned on Sunday.
Wilson was replaced in the starting lineup by Alika Williams. On Sunday, Wilson, extended his Major League record for consecutive errorless games by a shortstop to 115. He broke the record of 110 set by Mike Bordick from April 11-Sept. 29 in 2002.
