The Braves recalled Wilson from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will draw his third career big-league start and second of 2019 after posting a 3.79 ERA, 12.4 WHIP and 79:16 K:BB across 78.1 innings at Gwinnett. The 21-year-old will be assuming the rotation spot of the struggling Mike Foltynewicz, who was dispatched to Triple-A over the weekend. With several promising young arms lingering in either the big-league bullpen or Triple-A pitching staff, Wilson may need to deliver an impressive outing versus Chicago to earn another turn in the rotation.

Wilson will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Thursday against the Cubs, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will take the rotation spot of Mike Foltynewicz, who was sent to the minors after struggling through his first 11 starts. The 21-year-old Wilson owns a solid 3.79 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 79:16 K:BB across 78.1 innings with Gwinnett, though he hasn't fared as well in the majors (8.31 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 4:4 K:BB in 4.1 innings with the Braves).

Wilson is viewed as a candidate to receive a callup from Triple-A Gwinnett to start Thursday's game against the Cubs, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves haven't tipped their hand regarding who will replace the demoted Mike Foltynewicz in the rotation, but Wilson is the most logical replacement given that he would be available Thursday on regular rest. Wilson has helped his case for a promotion by dominating of late at Gwinnett, compiling a 2.49 ERA and 49:9 K:BB in 47 innings across his last eight starts. In addition to Wilson, reliever Touki Toussaint is another option to fill in for Foltynewicz.

Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson made just one relief appearance in his latest stint with the Braves, striking out one over one scoreless inning. Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Wilson could be a candidate to make a spot start Thursday against the Reds if he's not needed in relief Tuesday or Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves appear set to give Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) an extra day of rest before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list this weekend, which will create a temporary opening in the rotation for a sixth pitcher. The decision will likely come down to Wilson or Sean Newcomb, who will be eligible to rejoin the big club Thursday after being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett last week. Considering that Newcomb continued to show poor control in his first start at Triple-A, the Braves may be inclined to keep him in the minors a little longer and give Wilson another look in the rotation. Wilson labored in his lone start with the big club back on March 30 in Philadelphia, giving up four runs on five hits and four walks while failing to escape the fourth inning.

Wilson was called up by the Braves on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will take the roster spot that had belonged to Touki Toussaint, who was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. It's unclear whether he'll also take Toussaint's rotation spot. Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) still needs another rehab start, but the Braves have an off day Monday, so they may not need five starters on the roster for the next few days.

The Braves optioned Wilson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With Kevin Gausman (shoulder) slated to return from the injured list to start Friday's game against the Marlins, Wilson will be the odd man out from the Braves' rotation. Wilson likely sealed his fate with a poor showing in his lone outing March 30 in Philadelphia, when he lasted just 3.1 innings while serving up four runs on five hits and four walks. The move to the minors temporarily puts a cramp on the right-hander's fantasy outlook, but his power arsenal will make him an intriguing speculative pickup when he eventually earns a call back to Atlanta.

Wilson struck out three but was tagged with four earned runs over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Phillies on Saturday. He allowed five hits and four walks as the Braves gave up an early lead and lost 8-6.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was nicked for a run in the second on an RBI single by J.T. Realmuto, but he surrendered three runs in the fourth via a Cesar Hernandez RBI triple and a Maikel Franco two-run homer. In what should be an easier matchup, his next scheduled start is against the Marlins at home on Friday.

Wilson will start the second game of the season for the Braves, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson will follow Julio Teheran in the rotation, making his season debut Saturday against the Phillies. The young right-hander earned a spot in the Opening Day rotation thanks to a strong spring, during which he posted a 3.29 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB through 13.2 innings (five appearances). With Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) and Mike Soroka (shoulder) both getting healthier, Wilson may only have until the end of April or so to prove he deserves to stick in the majors.

Wilson allowed five hits and three earned runs while walking one and striking out four across four innings on Monday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson allowed all three of his earned runs in the second inning, one of which came on a solo home run off the bat of Luke Voit. He settled down thereafter, escaping a jam in the fourth inning by inducing Tyler Wade to ground into a double play. The 21-year-old has pitched well this spring, posting a 3.29 ERA with 13 strikeouts and two walks across 13.2 innings. Wilson is making his case to remain with the big-league club to start the regular season, though even if he does, it is unclear whether he would serve as a starter or reliever.
