BRYSE WILSON NEWS

Gives up seven runs Wilson (0-3) allowed seven runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two in 1.2 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Cardinals.

Impact The Cardinals' offense combined to score 18 runs during Sunday's blowout loss, and Wilson was charged with his third loss in his last four starts. He's given up at least three earned runs in each of his last three outings, but Sunday's start was his worst of the year. Since the start of May, the right-hander has posted a 10.80 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 13.1 innings over four appearances (two starts). Wilson isn't guaranteed to keep his spot in the starting rotation, particularly since the Pirates recalled Roansy Contreras following Sunday's game.

Yields four runs Wilson allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in Monday's loss to the Cubs. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Wilson entered the game in the first inning with two outs and bases loaded after Dillon Peters was chased early. He didn't fare much better, failing to retire any of the first five batters he faced while also serving up a grand slam to Willson Contreras. The 24-year-old is sporting a 5.67 ERA and a 22:12 K:BB through 27 frames. Wilson is expected to face the Cardinals at home this weekend.

Clobbered by Dodgers Wilson (0-2) took the loss in Tuesday's 11-1 rout at the hands of the Dodgers, surrendering six runs on eight hits and a walk over 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Little went right for Wilson or Pittsburgh in this one, as the right-hander found himself in a 2-0 hole before the top of the first inning was done. Wilson needed 70 pitches (44 strikes) to get eight outs, and he has yet to complete five innings in any of his starts this season. He'll take a 5.82 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 21.2 innings into his next outing.

Set for bulk-relief role Wednesday Wilson is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind Dillon Peters in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Initially listed as the Pirates' scheduled starter for Tuesday's series opener, Wilson will have to wait a day to pitch after the game was postponed due to inclement weather. Though Pittsburgh lists Peters as the starter for the front end of the twin bill, he'll most likely be acting as an opener, as was the case the last time it was Wilson's turn to pitch April 27. While pitching out of the bullpen, Wilson delivered his best results of the season, as he kept Milwaukee off the board for four innings while striking out four and allowing only one baserunner.

Pirates-Tigers postponed Wilson and the Pirates won't play the Tigers on Tuesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Detroit.

Impact The two teams will reconvene for a straight doubleheader Wednesday. Expect Wilson to start one of the two games of the twin bill, with the Pirates likely keeping Jose Quintana on turn to star the other half of the doubleheader.

Success in bulk role Wilson allowed one hit and no walks while striking out four across four scoreless innings Wednesday against the Brewers.

Impact Wilson was originally tabbed as Pittsburgh's starter, but he ultimately entered the game in the third inning. He proceeded to cover four effective frames, keeping the Brewers scoreless. Wilson won a job in the rotation out of spring training, though he failed to cover more than 4.1 frames in any of his three starts this season. It is not clear whether the team will continue Wilson in this role, but it was clearly the most effective he has looked early on in the campaign.

Available Wednesday Manager Derek Shelton clarified that Wilson will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact As recently as Tuesday, Wilson was listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Wednesday, but Pittsburgh elected to make a late change. Dillon Peters is now slated to make his first start of the season Wednesday, though Shelton didn't specify whether he would be deployed as a traditional starter or act as more of an opener. Given that Peters hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his five relief appearances this season, he likely won't be able to work deep into Wednesday's contest, so Wilson could still end up picking up multiple innings out of the bullpen regardless of whether he's designated as a primary pitcher.

Impact Pittsburgh has yet to provide an explanation for the change, but it's possible that Wilson is dealing with an injury or illness or facing a demotion to the bullpen or Triple-A Indianapolis for performance-related reasons. Over his first three starts this season, Wilson has failed to reach the sixth inning and has submitted a 6.35 ERA and 1.76 WHIP.

Walks four in no-decision Wilson did not factor in the decision against the Cubs on Thursday, pitching three innings and allowing three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two.

Impact The right-hander posted his shortest outing of the campaign in large part due to his lack of control. Wilson issued a season-high four free passes and threw only 35 of 60 pitches for strikes in the brief appearance. The poor outing pushed his season ERA up to 6.35, though he hasn't factored in the decision in any of his three starts. His next trip to the mound is tentatively slated to come at home against Milwaukee on Wednesday.
