Wilson

The Cubs need room on the active and 40-man roster, so Wilson is out to clear space for Jake Woodford. Wilson will hit the waiver wire, and teams could show interest in the 28-year-old as a potential multi-inning relief option.

Wilson worked after opener Ryan Rolison fired two innings and allowed a run. The right-hander was excellent in his bulk work; giving up just four hits and striking out four while not issuing a walk. The 28-year-old could work in a similar role again in the coming days, but there’s nothing scheduled as of yet. There’s no starter lined up yet for Saturday’s game against the Cardinals, so that would be the most likely landing spot for Wilson.

Wilson heads to Chicago as a potential swingman option for their injury-depleted pitching staff. The 28-year-old was jettisoned by the Phillies over the weekend after just one appearance. He posted a lackluster 6.65 ERA in 47 1/3 innings for the White Sox last year and has made 164 career appearances dating back to 2018.

Wilson was called up on Thursday and threw two scoreless innings in his lone appearance for the Phillies. With Max Lazar getting sent down, the Phillies will be making two additions on Monday. Kyle Backhus returning from the IL is one of them. The other is likely to be Alan Rangel, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Scott Lauber, and Rangel could either start or work bulk innings in what had been Andrew Painter’s spot.

Wilson has a 6.29 ERA in 54.1 innings for Lehigh Valley, but with Andrew Painter sent down, the Phillies needed someone to cover innings as (at least) a bulk reliever. Wilson had an upward mobility clause. He had a 6.65 ERA in 20 appearances (five starts) with the White Sox last season and should remain well off fantasy baseball radars.

Wilson spent a couple days on the open market before returning to the Phillies on a new minor league pact. The 28-year-old posted a lackluster 6.65 ERA in 47 1/3 innings for the White Sox last year. He’s compiled a bloated 6.66 ERA over 51 1/3 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season. He’s merely organizational depth at this stage of his career.

No real surprises here as Johnson had an option year remaining, Johnson managed a 1.86 ERA in 9.2 innings during Spring Training, striking out eight. He’ll likely be shuttled back to the majors several times over the course of the season.

The 27-year-old hurler elected free agency from the White Sox after he was removed from their 40-man roster in September. It’s unclear if it will be a major league contract or of the minor league variety with an invitation to big league camp. Wilson posted a disappointing 6.65 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and a 28/19 K/BB ratio over 47 1/3 innings in 20 appearances with the White Sox in 2025.

Wilson hits free agency after posting an underwhelming 6.65 ERA across 47 1/3 innings over 20 appearances (five starts) this season in the big leagues. The 27-year-old righty holds a serviceable 4.82 ERA in 461 frames over 163 appearances (57 starts) in the majors dating back to 2018.

Wilson, 27, had been designated for assignment earlier in the week. The expectation is that he’ll accept the assignment and continue to function as extra rotation depth for the White Sox at Triple-A Charlotte. Wilson has struggled to a 6.65 ERa over 47 1/3 innings in 20 appearances (five starts) for the White Sox this season.
