Not really any tough calls here. Weston Wilson did play in 54 games for the Mariners after joining the team in mid-June, but he hit just .192/.263/.296 in 137 plate appearances.

Wilson had one career four-hit game and one three-hit game, both in 2024, before going 5-for-6 with a double tonight. It was enough to raise his average from .190 to .217.

Wilson connected on a 2-2 cutter from Max Fried in the second inning, clubbing a 396-foot (104.1-mph EV) solo shot that gave the M’s an early 1-0 lead. That would be the extent of the scoring for both teams in the ballgame. Wilson finished the afternoon 1-for-2 plus a walk and is now hitting .204/.297/.357 with four homers and 11 RBI in 111 plate appearances at the MLB level this season.

The 31-year-old infielder opted out of his contract with the Orioles last weekend and now finds new life with the Mariners. Wilson has hit .231 (9-for-39) with one homer, three RBI and a pair of steals in 46 plate appearances at the big league level this season.

Wilson was designated for assignment on Saturday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He then refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. The versatile 31-year-old is now free to explore options on the open market.

Wilson loses his spot on Baltimore’s 40-man roster with the club bringing up Sam Huff as emergency catching depth prior to Saturday’s contest against Toronto. The 31-year-old is capable of handling multiple defensive spots and still has some appeal as a lefty-mashing bench bat.

Wilson gets the call to replace an injured Ryan Mountcastle on Baltimore’s bench. The 31-year-old utility specialist was in camp as a non-roster invitee this spring after getting into 100 games for the Phillies over the past three years.

Wilson was designated for assignment on Sunday, but he cleared waivers and will now be sent to Triple-A.

Wilson gets bumped three days after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies. He’s a fair 26th man playable against lefties, but at age 31, he’s already reached his ceiling.

The Phillies’ removed Wilson from their 40-man roster earlier in the week to make their deal with J.T. Realmuto official. The versatile 31-year-old slashed an underwhelming .198/.282/.369 in 125 plate appearances with the Phillies during the 2025 campaign. He’ll add depth for the O’s and can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

With J.T. Realmuto’s contract becoming official, the Phillies needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, so Wilson was let go. The 31-year-old hit .198/.282/.369 in 125 plate appearances with the Phillies in 2025. He has historically produced better and is strong against left-handed pitching, so he could find a spot somewhere else as a bench bat.
