The A’s announced a major roster move just before hitting the road for Cincinnati, activating star prospect Jacob Wilson off of the IL and adding him back to the major league roster:
A’s have optioned Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas. Likely creates an opening for Jacob Wilson to return from the IL.

Yes, yes, we may be getting ahead of ourselves here but the writing is clearly on the wall. This move makes too much sense to happen with Hernaiz being optioned out. The club wouldn’t be making this move if their prized prospect wasn’t healthy and ready to roll with the major leaguers.
