The Astros outrighted Wilson to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Houston exposed Wilson to waivers in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for pitcher Zack Greinke, who is expected to be reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Rangers. The 31-year-old utility man will remain in the organization after none of MLB's other 29 organizations were willing to use a waiver claim on him.

Wilson (concussion) rejoined Triple-A Sugar Land's lineup Saturday and has gone 2-for-17 with an RBI while starting in each of the affiliate's last four games.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was sidelined at Triple-A for about a week with the head injury before he was cleared to return to action. The 30-year-old utility man should continue to play on an everyday basis for Sugar Land with the hope of earning a call-up to Houston later in September.

The Astros optioned Wilson to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Alex Bregman (hamstring/quadriceps) returning from the 10-day injured list, Aledmys Diaz will move into a utility role, which leaves no room on the Houston bench for Wilson. Since getting a call-up from Sugar Land on Aug. 6, Wilson appeared in six games and went 2-for-13 with two runs and an RBI.

Wilson started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-1 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was a late addition to the lineup after outfielder Chas McCormick was scratched with a left-hand injury. The resulting lineup shuffle included Wilson playing third base, as Aledmys Diaz was given a rest day. The bottom half of Houston's order was made up of a ragged crew, but Wilson, Taylor Jones and Jake Meyers combined to go 6-for-12 with a home run, two triples, two doubles, eight RBI and six runs. With news that Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is on the verge of returning -- he's making a second rehab start Sunday -- Wilson's days on the roster could be numbered.

Wilson started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was called up last week as the Astros deal with injuries at both corner infield spots. With Alex Bregman (quadriceps) sidelined and potentially out another week, Aledmys Diaz has been the primary fill-in at third base, but manager Dusty Baker opted to give Wilson a shot against left-hander Patrick Sandoval. There could be a few more opportunities for Wilson, pending the time Bregman needs to get back to full strength. He's hitless in seven at-bats thus far for Houston.

Wilson was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Friday's game agains the Twins, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson appeared in six games with Oakland in July, going 1-for-6 with a run scored before being DFA'd and claimed by Houston on Monday. He seems likely to see the majority of his time at the corner infield positions with Yuli Gurriel (neck) landing on the IL and Alex Bregman (quadriceps) still rehabbing at Triple-A Sugar Land.

The Astros claimed Wilson off waivers Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old minor-league journeyman reached the majors for the first time in early July, appearing in six games for Oakland while going 1-for-7 at the plate before he was designated for assignment. Though Wilson will reclaim a 40-man roster spot and he joins Houston, he'll begin his tenure in the new organization at Triple-A Sugar Land. He could be the next man up for a promotion if Houston requires an extra infielder at any point over the final two months of the season.

Wilson was designated for assignment by Oakland on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Just one day after Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas, he'll be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Oakland's recent trade acquisitions. The 31-year-old has slashed .288/.385/.630 with 14 home runs, 46 RBI and 39 runs in 49 minor-league games this year.
