The Brewers placed Wilson (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson required Tommy John surgery last June and won't be an option for the Milwaukee bullpen until the second half of the 2023 regular season. He signed with Milwaukee in February on a one-year, $1 million contract with a $2.5 million club option for 2024.

Wilson (elbow) began a flat-ground throwing program and has been "progressing nicely," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson signed with the Brewers in February while in the process of recovering from the Tommy John procedure he underwent in June. The team still expects the veteran reliever to return in July, at which point he will likely give the Brewers some bullpen depth and see most of his appearances come during low-leverage scenarios.

Wilson (elbow) signed a one-year deal with a club option for a second with Milwaukee on Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brewers general manager Matt Arnold told reporters Saturday that Wilson likely won't pitch until July as he recovers from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last June. He only threw 3.2 innings prior to the injury last year and hasn't thrown more than 40 in a season since 2018, but he's been effective enough when available, posting a 3.74 ERA over the last four years.

Wilson underwent Tommy John surgery Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson had been sidelined with an elbow injury since late April, and he moved to the 60-day injured list in late May. Following Friday's procedure, the southpaw will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2022 season and most or all of the 2023 campaign. It's a discouraging development for the 34-year-old, who had been effective over a limited sample in 2022, allowing just one run on three hits and no walks while striking out seven in 3.2 relief innings.

Wilson (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson landed on the injured list in late April due to an elbow injury, and he'll be ineligible to return to action until at least late June after being moved to the 60-day IL. However, a recovery timetable for the left-hander hasn't yet been revealed.

Wilson was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to April 24.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson pitched just once in the last week, and he's apparently dealing with an elbow issue that will force him to miss at least a week and a half. The severity of his injury isn't yet known, but the Reds selected the contract of Phillip Diehl to provide another left-handed arm in the bullpen.

Wilson is part of a large group of pitchers who could close games for the Reds this season according to manager David Bell, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas Sims looked like the top candidate but will open the season on the injured list due to elbow troubles. Wilson has 18 career saves, but the 34-year-old doesn't look like the same guy he was at his peak. He stumbled to a career-high 5.29 ERA and a career-low 19.5 percent strikeout rate in 34 innings last season.

Wilson has exercised his player option and will remain with the Reds for next season.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson will be owed $2.3 million next year. The lefty struggled to a 7.50 ERA in 18 innings for the Yankees to start the year but posted a 2.81 ERA in 16 frames after midseason trade to the Reds.

Wilson and Luis Cessa were acquired by the Reds from the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson joined the Yankees on a one-year deal during the offseason, but he was unable to find much consistency in 21 outings with a 7.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. The veteran lefty, who hasn't had an ERA over 3.70 since 2016, will attempt to rediscover his old form with a new team.

Wilson allowed five runs on four hits and one walk without retiring a batter in Saturday's loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander was called upon in the sixth inning with the Mets ahead by three runs. Wilson couldn't keep the game close, allowing three straight singles followed by a walk and a double before departing with the Yankees down 6-0. Both baserunners he passed on to Michael King soon came around to score, and Wilson was charged with five total runs in the outing. His season ERA jumped to an ugly 8.79 as a result, and he has given up at least one earned run in three of his past four appearances.
