STEVEN WILSON NEWS

Avoids arbitration The White Sox and Wilson (shoulder) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $950,000 contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson receives a bump in pay in what was his first year of arbitration eligibility. The 30-year-old struggled mightily with his control in his first season with the White Sox, walking 26 over 34.2 innings while posting a 5.71 ERA. Wilson spent the final six weeks of the 2024 season on the injured list with a back issue, but it was a shoulder injury suffered on a rehab assignment which shut him down for the year. It's not clear whether he will be limited in spring training.

Pulled off rehab assignment Wilson (back) was returned from his rehab assignment Sunday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson was originally forced to the injured list in mid-August due to a lower-back strain. He appeared to be on closing in on a return, having made eight appearances during his rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte, but the shoulder impingement will bring an early end to his campaign. Wilson posted a 5.71 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 34:26 K:BB over 34.2 innings in his first season with the White Sox.

Starting up rehab assignment Wilson (back) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Wilson was placed on the IL on Aug. 17 with a lower-back strain, but the fact that he's already heading out on a rehab assignment suggests that he should be ready to rejoin the White Sox when he's first eligible Friday, or shortly thereafter. With the active roster expanding to 28 men Sunday, the White Sox could wait until that day to bring the righty reliever back.

Impact Wilson was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 30 with left hip inflammation. The Padres haven't shut Wilson down nor indicated that his injury is especially serious, and while he won't require an extensive buildup as one- or two-inning reliever, he's still not a lock to make it back from the IL before the season ends Oct. 1.

Shelved with hip inflammation The Padres placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left hip inflammation.

Impact The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Wilson will be eligible for activation Sept. 12.

The Padres called up lefty Ray Kerr from Triple-A El Paso to replace Wilson in the bullpen.

Stung by wildness Sunday Wilson (1-2) took the loss and was tagged with a blown save Sunday against Milwaukee, giving up four runs on one hit and three walks over one-third of an inning.

Impact Wilson couldn't find the plate against the Brewers, throwing just seven of 20 pitches for a strike and walking a trio of batters. One of the free passes was intentional, but that doesn't do much to soften the extent of the reliever's struggles. Wilson came into the contest with the Padres up 4-2, and he left having given up the lead, though there were already two runners on base upon his entrance. Despite the poor outing, Wilson figures to continue to hold a prominent place in the San Diego's bullpen. He's posted a 3.91 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB over 53 innings on the campaign while notching a team-leading 22 holds.

Returns from injured list Wilson (pectoral) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wilson has been on the shelf since late June with a right pec strain but is ready to rejoin the Padres' bullpen after throwing to hitters a couple times without issue. It's a boost to San Diego's relief corps, as Wilson boasts a 2.43 ERA with 40 strikeouts over 37 frames in 2023.

Throws to hitters Saturday Wilson (pectoral) tossed a simulated inning Saturday, per MLB.com.

Impact Wilson has been on the injured list since June 27 with a right pec strain. The righty reliever reportedly felt fine after throwing to hitters Saturday, and he's scheduled for another live session Tuesday. If that goes well, Wilson could rejoin the Padres bullpen immediately following the All-Star break.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 15-day IL Wilson was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right pectoral strain Tuesday.

Wilson has been very effective this season with San Diego, compiling a 2.43 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 40 strikeouts over 37 frames in 2023.

Collects 14th hold Wilson earned a hold against Tampa Bay on Saturday, striking out two batters in one inning.

Impact Wilson followed Blake Snell's six scoreless frames with one of his own, needing just 13 pitches to retire the side in order. The right-hander has held the opponent scoreless in 17 of his past 18 outings, posting a 0.95 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB over 19 innings during that span. He's emerged as one of the Padres' most reliable relievers and is tied for third in the majors with 14 holds, making him a solid option in fantasy leagues that count that category.
