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.
