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

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.

Healthy at Triple-A Wilson (hand) has appeared in each of Triple-A Lehigh Valley's first three games of the season, going 2-for-9 with a double and an RBI.

Impact Wilson exited the Phillies' March 21 Grapefruit League game after being hit on the left hand by a pitch and was optioned to the minors a day later, but he avoided any sort of major injury and was deemed good to go for the start of the Triple-A 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.

Back in majors The Phillies recalled Wilson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Wilson spent the vast majority of the season in Triple-A, slashing .259/.363/.515 with 31 homers and 86 RBI across 544 plate appearances. 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.

Impact Wilson has posted an .895 OPS with 29 homers and 28 steals in 112 games this season at the Triple-A level, but it might be another brief major-league stint for the 28-year-old infielder while Trea Turner is away on paternity leave.

Sent down Sunday Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wilson spent two weeks with the major-league club but played in just four games and went 2-for-6 with a homer, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base. He should have the chance to see more consistent playing time with the minor-league club.

Fills up box score in debut Wilson went 1-for-1 with a solo homer, two additional runs scored and a steal in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Nationals.

Impact It was a debut to remember for the 28-year-old rookie after spending nearly seven years in the minors. Wilson launched a 429-foot solo homer off MacKenzie Gore in his first MLB at-bat before reaching twice via walks and adding a stolen base. Wilson posted some intriguing numbers with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, batting .260 with 25 home runs and 23 steals across 100 games. Still, he'll likely be limited to a platoon role with the Phillies while Brandon Marsh (knee) is sidelined.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • Associated Press

Batting seventh in MLB debut Wilson is starting in left field and batting seventh in his major-league debut Wednesday versus the Nationals.

Impact Wilson was called up to the Phillies on Sunday after posting a shiny .884 OPS with 25 homers and 23 steals through 100 games this season for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He'll probably continue to play sparingly, though, and can go on being ignored in most fantasy formats. Kyle Schwarber is getting a rare day off Wednesday.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up as Marsh replacement The Phillies selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact The 28-year-old gets his first call-up to the big leagues in place of Brandon Marsh (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. While Marsh is out, Johan Rojas should be locked into a full-time role in the outfield, and the lefty-hitting Jake Cave could end up settling into a strong-side platoon role in left field. The righty-hitting Wilson could make sense as a short-side platoon mate for Marsh, and Wilson also offers the ability to play all four infield spots as well as right field. Wilson was slashing .260/.361/.524 with 25 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 426 plate appearances for Lehigh Valley this season.
