Wilson notched a homer in his return to the Rays, blasting a solo shot as part of a 2-for-4, two-RBI effort in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop launched a 373-foot solo homer in the fifth before closing out the scoring for the Rays with an RBI single in the eighth that plated Steven Souza, Jr. It was Wilson's first game since returning to Tampa on Thursday. He had a brief 55 at-bat stint with the Rays last season, slashing only .145/.203/.145.

Wilson was claimed off waivers by the Rays on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was DFA'd by the Rangers on August 1 after the team acquired catcher Jonathan Lucroy from the Brewers. The 33-year-old was scooped up by the Rays following their win against Kansas City on Thursday, and will figure to slot behind Luke Maile on the depth chart with Curt Casali going down to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Wilson was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Monday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was one of two catcher casualties following the Rangers' additions of Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress from Milwaukee. With Lucroy set to take the clear lead role behind the plate, the Rangers had no need to keep three catchers. With Wilson and Bryan Holaday both designated for assignment, Texas has just Lucroy and Robinson Chirinos on the team's depth chart behind the plate. The 33-year-old backstop hit just .241/.270/.333 over 47 games between the Rangers and Tigers this season, and could be bound for the minors if unclaimed through waivers.

Wilson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers activated Robinson Chirinos (forearm) from the DL on Friday following a lengthy absence, so at the very least, it seems likely that Wilson will have to split the at-bats behind the dish moving forward. Given that Chirinos has historically shown more offensive capabilities, it may not take long for him to assume a larger portion of the timeshare at the position, putting Wilson's fantasy value on the downswing.

Wilson is out of the lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson is hitless in his last two starts, and will make way for Bryan Holaday behind the dish Saturday.

Wilson remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday marks Wilson's third straight absence from the lineup as Bryan Holaday continues to start behind the dish. However, Wilson has been far more productive than his counterpart at the plate thus far this season, batting .318/.352/.424 compared to Holaday's .239/.293/.403 slash line. There is no report of an injury for Wilson at this time, so his extended absence from the lineup could be dictated by manager Jeff Banister's preference for Holaday's defense behind the plate.

Wilson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson has cemented himself as the Rangers' top catcher since Robinson Chirinos (forearm) hit the DL, and went 10-for-19 with three RBI over his last five games. He'll just be getting a regular day off for Sunday's matinee, allowing Bryan Holaday to make a start behind the dish.

Wilson will bat eighth in Monday's lineup against Oakland, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was given Sunday off to rest, but he'll take back over at catcher for Bryan Holaday. He has never faced Oakland's starter Sean Manaea in the majors previously, but he's batting .500 after four at-bats against left-handers this season.

Wilson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fresh off his second grand slam of the season in Saturday's contest, Wilson will receive the day off after he was behind the plate in the last three games. He appears to have usurped Bryan Holaday for the primary catching duties for the time being, but that could change as soon as Wilson falls into any sort of prolonged slump.

Wilson went 1-for-4 with a grand slam Saturday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson's second blast of the year gave the Rangers a 4-0 lead in the second inning of a game they'd go on to win. He's now launched a pair of grand slams in the last week, and he's gone 8-for-25 since being acquired from the Tigers earlier this month.
