Wilson will undergo surgery on his left shoulder Sept. 16, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Wilson landed on the injured list last Friday due to soreness related to a shoulder separation he suffered earlier in the season, and he'll opt to go under the knife to address the issue. His procedure will be similar to the one teammate Zack Gelof underwent last September, and assuming Wilson also has a similar return timeline, he figures to be fully healthy by the time the 2027 campaign begins.

Rotowire
The Athletics optioned Rom to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
The move corresponds with Jose Suarez (hip) being activated from the 15-day injured list. Rom made seven appearances out of the A's bullpen since being recalled Aug. 12, allowing six runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings. He'll head back down to Triple-A, where he has 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB over 40 innings.

Athletics' Jose Suarez: Reinstated from IL
Rotowire
The Athletics reinstated Suarez (hip) from the 15-day injured list Friday.
Suarez has fully recovered from a right hip strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Aug. 12. He'll return to the Athletics' bullpen with a 5.22 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, three holds and a 60:25 K:BB over 58.2 innings across three teams this season. Drew Rom was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.
Athletics' Denzel Clarke: Producing in rehab stint
Rotowire
Clarke (hamstring) has gone 9-for-21 (.429) with a home run, five RBI and two runs across seven rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Clarke has swung the bat well with Las Vegas, reaching base safely in six straight contests. Recovering from a left hamstring strain, the 26-year-old has split time between center field and designated hitter during his rehab assignment. Entering the assignment, the Athletics planned to build Clarke up with a spring training-like progression, so the club likely isn't in a rush to activate him from the 60-day injured list. In 22 big-league games this season, he's hitting .170/.228/.189 with no homers, six RBI, four runs and two stolen bases.

Athletics' Alika Williams: Drives in two runs Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.
Williams clubbed a triple off the center-field wall to plate two runs as part of a four-run sixth inning for the Athletics. Coupled with a double in the eighth frame, Wednesday marked his first game with multiple extra-base hits since July 19 and his third such effort of the season. Across 161 plate appearances, the 27-year-old is slashing .268/.304/.416 with two homers, 12 RBI and 18 runs. Williams has factored into the shortstop equation with Jacob Wilson (shoulder) out for the year, though Donovan Walton and Darell Hernaiz have also seen plenty of reps at the position.
Athletics' Tommy White: Supplies three hits in win
Rotowire
White went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.
White has gone 8-for-21 (.381) over his last five games, adding four RBI and three runs in that span. The infielder is seeing regular playing time of late as he continues to split time between first and third base. He's batting .269 with a .631 OPS, two home runs, eight RBI, 15 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases through the first 35 games of his big-league career.

Rotowire
Butler went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.
Butler provided an insurance run with his long ball in the seventh inning. The outfielder had gone nine games without a homer but still hit .419 (13-for-31) in that span. He's batting .227 on the year while adding a .694 OPS, 12 homers, 41 RBI, 53 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases through 126 contests.

Athletics' Elvis Alvarado: Earns another save
Rotowire
Alvarado allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Twins.
Alvarado has earned a save in three straight outings, including each of the past two days. Hogan Harris had looked to be pulling away with the closer job earlier in the month, and he'll likely remain in the mix for high-leverage work despite not being utilized Wednesday. However, Alvarado has the momentum, especially since he's given up just two runs over 11 innings in August. Alvarado is at a 4.09 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB through 44 innings this season, and he's added five saves, eight holds and one blown save.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Picks up ninth win
Rotowire
Ginn (9-8) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Twins on Wednesday.
Ginn got off to a rocky start, allowing three runs over the first two innings, but the Athletics' surge on offense in the sixth put him in line for the win. It's been a middling month for Ginn, who has allowed 17 runs (15 earned) over 29 innings across his five starts in August, with this outing being his first win in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 121:57 K:BB through 138.1 innings over 27 games (24 starts). He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the Rangers.
McNeil is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.
McNeil will take a breather after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota. Tommy White will start at first base and bat fifth against Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp.

Rotowire
The Athletics recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Athletics' Jose Suarez: Nearing return from injured list
Rotowire
Suarez (hip) threw around 20 pitches during a live batting practice session Tuesday and could be activated as early as Friday, per MLB.com.
Suarez has been shelved since Aug. 12 due to a right hip strain but is trending toward a short stay on the injured list. The southpaw has split time between Atlanta, Seattle and the Athletics this season, posting an overall 5.22 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 42 appearances spanning 58.2 innings.
