The Red Sox released Wilson on Tuesday, Katie Morrison-O'Day of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was getting scant playing time at Triple-A Worcester and was batting just .153 with a 47.1 percent strikeout rate over 68 plate appearances for the affiliate this season, so Boston opted to cut ties with the 26-year-old outfielder. He'll look to catch on elsewhere on a minor-league deal.

Wilson signed a minor-league contract on Saturday with Boston, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a return to the Boston organization for Wilson, as he was acquired for Blake Swihart back in 2019. The outfielder spent last year in the Seattle organization, before being designated for assignment and outrighted off the roster in January. Wilson would have to be added to the 40-man roster in order to play for the Red Sox in 2023, and likely just provides organizational depth for the club at Triple-A Worcester.

The Mariners outrighted Wilson to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson will remain in the Seattle organization after he went unclaimed by MLB's other 29 teams upon being exposed to waivers over the weekend. The 25-year-old got a brief cup of coffee in the majors earlier this season but has otherwise spent the entire campaign at Tacoma, with whom he's produced a .771 OPS over 282 plate appearances.

Wilson was designated for assignment on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners needed to add a lefty reliever to the 40-man roster, and with Mitch Haniger's return right around the corner, Wilson was expendable. He could remain in the organization as outfield depth if he clears waivers.

The Mariners optioned Wilson to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson's week-long stint in the big leagues came to an end with first baseman Ty France (elbow) being activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his time with Seattle, Wilson appeared in three games and went 1-for-5 with a walk and a run scored.

The Mariners selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson will receive his first MLB call-up of the season in the wake of fellow outfielder Taylor Trammell straining his right hamstring in Tuesday's win over the Orioles and subsequently landing on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old slashed .209/.336/.469 with 12 home runs and eight stolen bases across 238 plate appearances with Tacoma. He has the ability to play all three outfield spots and is expected to serve as a bench piece for Seattle.

Wilson was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox in early August but didn't see the field at the big-league level in either Boston or Seattle. He hit a respectable .240/.364/.421 at the Triple-A level with the two organizations, good for a 110 wRC+, but he struck out in 33.4 percent of his plate appearances.
