Returns from IL The Reds reinstated Wilson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Impact After being placed on the IL on May 17 with left shoulder tightness, Wilson didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, as the Reds were comfortable enough with how he looked over multiple bullpen sessions to bring him back on the 26-man active roster. Southpaw Alex Young was optioned to Triple-A Louisville to make room in the bullpen for WIlson.

Transferred to 60-day IL Wilson was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list (lat) on Monday.
Impact Wilson suffered the injury July 29 while warming up in the bullpen. He was set to make his return from Tommy John surgery, but now he will not make an appearance in the 2023 season. The reliever only made five appearances last season.
AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return this season Manager Craig Counsell said Friday that Wilson (lat) will miss the rest of the 2023 season, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Wilson suffered the lat strain while warming up for his season debut July 29 after recovering from Tommy John surgery, and he won't end up taking the big-league mound this season. The veteran left-hander made just five appearances last year before requiring the elbow procedure, and 2023 is now a lost season. He has a $2.5 million club option for 2024, but the Brewers aren't likely to exercise that option given the circumstances.
AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back on injured list Wilson was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left lat strain.
Impact Wilson was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Friday after working his way back from Tommy John surgery, but he suffered another injury in the Brewers' bullpen just moments before he was about to make his season debut. The 35-year-old lefty will be eligible to return beginning Aug. 13, and Trevor Megill will come up from Triple-A to take his spot in the bullpen.
JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns from IL The Brewers reinstated Wilson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.
Impact Wilson has been out of action since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2022, but he's now officially ready to join the Brewers' bullpen. Wilson made seven rehab appearances in Triple-A, surrendering just one run across 6.1 innings while striking out six batters and walking one. Milwaukee already has a myriad of talent in their bullpen, meaning Wilson's role will likely be limited to middle relief. Bennett Sousa (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.
JULY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not activated just yet Wilson (elbow) has rejoined the Brewers but not been activated from the 60-day injured list yet, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wilson cleared his final rehab hurdle in making back-to-back appearances with Triple-A Nashville on Saturday and Sunday. He will rest for a day or two before rejoining Milwaukee's bullpen. Wilson is coming back from last June's Tommy John surgery.
JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rehab moves to Triple-A Wilson (elbow) had his rehab assignment transferred Thursday to Triple-A Nashville, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Wilson is now just one step away from returning to the Brewers' bullpen after a three-appearance stint in the Arizona Complex League, during which he struck out six of the 11 batters he faced. The veteran southpaw is more than 13 months removed from Tommy John surgery and could be deemed ready for major-league action shortly after the All-Star break.
JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Beginning rehab assignment Wilson (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wilson has been on the shelf all season while recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in June 2022. Wilson figures to spend a good amount of time on assignment to ensure there are no lingering issues with his left elbow, so he could still be roughly a month away from making his debut in the Brewers' bullpen.
JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to 60-day injured list Wilson (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Impact The move has no impact on Wilson's return timeline, as he isn't expected to be back from Tommy John surgery until the second half of the season. The transaction clears space on Milwaukee's 40-man roster for the team to select Joey Wiemer's contract.
APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IL The Brewers placed Wilson (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wilson required Tommy John surgery last June and won't be an option for the Brewers' 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.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Progressing nicely in rehab Wilson (elbow) began a flat-ground throwing program and has been "progressing nicely," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact 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.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lands with Milwaukee Wilson (elbow) signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Brewers on Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The contract includes a $2.5 million club option for 2024.
Impact Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said that Wilson likely won't pitch until July while he recovers from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last June. Wilson threw only 3.2 innings at the MLB level last season prior to suffering the elbow injury 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.
