Jun 12 2024Wilson (1-3) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in one-third of an inning, taking the extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson missed three weeks with a back strain, and this was his first appearance back. While he threw 10 of 14 pitches for strikes -- his walk was an intentional one to Dominic Canzone -- Wilson ended up with the loss when Mitch Haniger hit a walk-off single. Through 19.1 innings this season, Wilson has a 2.79 ERA despite a 1.34 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB. He's added six holds and a blown save, so there's a chance he could see some high-leverage work, though there's not much of that to go around for the worst team in the majors.
Jun 5 2024The White Sox sent Wilson (back) to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Charlotte's game Tuesday was rained out, preventing Wilson from making his first rehab appearance. The reliever has missed just two weeks with a back strain, so he shouldn't require more than one or two rehab outings before rejoining the White Sox' bullpen.
May 22 2024The White Sox placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a back strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not clear how long Wilson is expected to be sidelined by the injury, but he'll be eligible for activation June 4. The right-hander has managed a 2.84 ERA with the White Sox this season in spite of 14 walks over 19 innings.
Apr 24 2024Wilson (1-2) allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one across 0.2 innings to blow the save and take the loss Tuesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson has picked up two holds this season and has held a high-leverage role in the Chicago bullpen. He's had plenty of success -- eight of his 10 appearances have been scoreless-- but he ran into trouble in a save situation Tuesday. Wilson entered the game in the ninth inning with a one-run lead but immediately served up a game-tying home run to Byron Buxton. He got into more trouble before ultimately allowing a game-winning knock to Alex Kirilloff. The White Sox have only three saves as a team this season, but Wilson could get in the mix when Michael Kopech is used in high-leverage situations rather than in the final frame.
Mar 13 2024The Padres traded Wilson, Drew Thorpe, Samuel Zavala and Jairo Iriarte to the White Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Dylan Cease, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson logged a 3.91 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 53 innings last season with the Padres, though he spent the final month of the year on the IL due to left hip inflammation. His hip doesn't appear to be an issue heading into this season, however, as he's pitched six scoreless innings so far during spring training while striking out 10 batters and walking seven. Wilson will immediately become one of the more reliable arms in Chicago's bullpen and could potentially be in the mix for save opportunities if he starts strong in 2024.
Sep 13 2023Manager Bob Melvin said Monday that Wilson (hip) has resumed playing catch at the Padres' facility in Arizona, but the right-hander has yet to start throwing off a mound, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 30 with left hip inflammation. The Padres haven't shut Wilson down nor indicated that his injury is especially serious, and while he won't require an extensive buildup as a one- or two-inning reliever, he's still not a lock to make it back from the IL before the season ends Oct. 1.
Aug 30 2023The Padres placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left hip inflammation. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Wilson will be eligible for activation Sept. 12. Wilson has functioned as one of the Padres' setup men in front of closer Josh Hader this season, gathering 22 holds and one win while pitching to a 3.91 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 53 innings. The Padres called up lefty Ray Kerr from Triple-A El Paso to replace Wilson in the bullpen.
Aug 28 2023Wilson (1-2) took the loss and was tagged with a blown save Sunday against Milwaukee, giving up four runs on one hit and three walks over one-third of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson couldn't find the plate against the Brewers, throwing just seven of 20 pitches for a strike and walking a trio of batters. One of the free passes was intentional, but that doesn't do much to soften the extent of the reliever's struggles. Wilson came into the contest with the Padres up 4-2, and he left having given up the lead, though there were already two runners on base upon his entrance. Despite the poor outing, Wilson figures to continue to hold a prominent place in the San Diego's bullpen. He's posted a 3.91 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB over 53 innings on the campaign while notching a team-leading 22 holds.
Jul 14 2023Wilson (pectoral) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson has been on the shelf since late June with a right pectoral strain but is ready to rejoin the Padres' bullpen after throwing to hitters a couple times without issue. It's a boost to San Diego's relief corps, as Wilson boasts a 2.43 ERA with 40 strikeouts over 37 frames in 2023.
Jul 9 2023Wilson (pectoral) tossed a simulated inning Saturday, per MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson has been on the injured list since June 27 with a right pec strain. The righty reliever reportedly felt fine after throwing to hitters Saturday, and he's scheduled for another live session Tuesday. If that goes well, Wilson could rejoin the Padres bullpen immediately following the All-Star break.
Jun 27 2023Wilson was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right pectoral strain Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson will be unavailable until after the All-Star break as he tends to his injured pectoral. He will be replaced in the major-league bullpen by Drew Carlton, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. Wilson has been very effective this season with San Diego, compiling a 2.43 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 40 strikeouts over 37 frames in 2023.
Jun 18 2023Wilson earned a hold against Tampa Bay on Saturday, striking out two batters in one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson followed Blake Snell's six scoreless frames with one of his own, needing just 13 pitches to retire the side in order. The right-hander has held the opponent scoreless in 17 of his past 18 outings, posting a 0.95 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB over 19 innings during that span. He's emerged as one of the Padres' most reliable relievers and is tied for third in the majors with 14 holds, making him a solid option in fantasy leagues that count that category.
