Weston Wilson - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Good shot at final bench spot Wilson is a strong candidate to win the last spot on the Phillies' bench, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson is a 30-year-old with just 49 games of MLB experience to his name, but he's performed well in his limited opportunities, hitting .288/.375/.490. The fact that he bats right-handed could give him the edge over lefty Kody Clemens, as the Phillies have a lefty-heavy roster already. If Wilson does win a roster spot, the largest role he can likely hope to win at the start of the year is the short side of a platoon in left field with Max Kepler.

Goes on paternity list The Phillies placed Wilson on the paternity list Monday.

Impact Wilson will be away from the Phillies for between one and three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. The 29-year-old has been with the Phillies since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on July 12 and has produced a 1.017 OPS over 54 plate appearances at the big-league level this season while primarily operating as a short-side platoon player.

Swipes second bag Wilson went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact The 29-year-old drew his third straight start in left field as Washington sent a third straight southpaw to the mound, and while Wilson didn't hit for the cycle as he did Thursday, he still put together a productive effort that included his second steal of the year. Since moving into a short-side platoon role in August, he's gone 8-for-15 (.533) with four extra-base hits, two RBI and five runs.

Furthermore, the outfielder has recorded an RBI in each of his last four contests.

Homer, three hits in loss Wilson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Wilson extended the Phillies lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the first inning before launching a solo home run off Martin Perez in the third, his first long ball this year. The 29-year-old utilityman had gone just 1-for-8 this season before Friday's outburst. Following Whit Merrifield's release, Wilson should remain with the Phillies in a bench role, where he could see the occasional start against left-handed pitching. Wilson's certainly displayed some power at the minor-league level -- he hit 31 home runs last year with Triple-A Lehigh Valley before slashing .240/.340/.487 with 18 homers in 71 games this season.

Swipes two bags Saturday Wilson went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Impact Getting the start at third base and batting seventh, Wilson flashed the speed that allowed him to rack up 32 steals in 38 attempts over 125 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season. The 29-year-old utility player couldn't repeat his success in the nightcap however, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts while seeing time at first and second base. With the Phillies already locked into the No. 4 seed in the National League playoffs and set to host a wild-card series beginning Tuesday, Wilson could get one more start Sunday as the team rests its regulars ahead of the postseason.

He's played in just five major-league games in his career, going 2-for-6 with a home run, and he will likely serve as bench depth heading into the postseason. Rodolfo Castro was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.
