Wilson

Wilson was likely to head back to Triple-A when Brendan Donovan is activated, but now he’ll get a little extra service time. He was 1-for-6 in two games since being called up on Apr. 20, though that one hit was a homer.

Wilson gets the nod to join Seattle’s active roster in a bench role with versatile Brendan Donovan heading to the injured list with a groin strain. The 27-year-old former first-round pick has bounced around the last couple seasons, but got into 34 games for the Guardians this past year.

Anderson, the third-overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, looked extremely impressive in three Cactus League outings this spring and appears to be on the fast-track to the big leagues. The 21-year-old southpaw possesses enough strikeout upside to make an immediate fantasy impact once he reaches the majors. He’s one of the few pitching prospects worth stashing at the outset of the year, especially in deeper mixed leagues.

The 27-year-old infielder singled in the seventh inning and roped a double in the ninth inning, making the most of his two plate appearances in the ballgame. Given his versatility, he could have an outside shot at earning a spot on the M’s bench with a strong showing in Cactus League play, but he’ll most likely begin the year as extra infield depth at the Triple-A level.

Wilson spent last year with the Guardians and hit .246/.325/.435 in Triple-A before making his MLB debut. Unfortunately, he slashed .192/.267/.244 slash with a 37 percent strikeout rate in 91 plate appearances for Cleveland. He can play anywhere in the infield, so the Mariners could view him as organizational depth at a few positions.

All six players have elected free agency instead of sticking around with the Guardians. No real surprises here as Cleveland clears some space on its 40-man roster heading into the offseason. Lively is the most prominent name by a considerable margin, but he’s going to miss a significant portion of next season recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Wilson went 3-for-6 during his week in the majors, but the Guardians decided they no longer needed him as infield insurance. Today’s moves suggests that Angel Martínez will see more infield time than outfield time this month.

Not yet Travis Bazzana time. Wilson, who will probably only be up while Daniel Schneeman is on the paternity list, has hit .167/.250/.222 with one RBI and 34 strikeouts in 85 major league plate appearances this season.

The 27-year-old infielder was with the big league club to provide infield depth with Gabriel Arias (ankle) shelved, so with Arias returning from the injured list on Friday he’ll head back to an everyday role at Triple-A Columbus. Wilson has hit just .167/.250/.222 with zero homers, one RBI and a 34/7 K/BB ratio over 85 plate appearances with the Guardians this season.

Wilson returns to Cleveland’s bench mix prior to Sunday’s game against Detroit with Lane Thomas hitting the injured list with plantar fasciitis. The 26-year-old infielder got into 24 games earlier this season for the Guardians. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
