The Red Sox released Wilson on Tuesday, Katie Morrison-O'Day of The Springfield Republican reports. Wilson was getting scant playing time at Triple-A Worcester and was batting just .153 with a 47.1 percent strikeout rate over 68 plate appearances for the affiliate this season, so Boston opted to cut ties with the 26-year-old outfielder. He'll look to catch on elsewhere on a minor-league deal.

Wilson signed a minor-league contract with Boston on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. It's a return to the Boston organization for Wilson, as he was acquired for Blake Swihart back in 2019. The outfielder spent last year in the Seattle organization, getting first big-league call-up in late June before being pushed off the 40-man roster just over a month later. The 26-year-old outfielder is likely to serve merely as organization depth for Boston at Triple-A Worcester.

The Mariners outrighted Wilson to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. Wilson will remain in the Seattle organization after he went unclaimed by MLB's other 29 teams upon being exposed to waivers over the weekend. The 25-year-old got a brief cup of coffee in the majors earlier this season but has otherwise spent the entire campaign at Tacoma, with whom he's produced a .771 OPS over 282 plate appearances.

Wilson was designated for assignment on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. The Mariners needed to add a lefty reliever to the 40-man roster, and with Mitch Haniger's return right around the corner, Wilson was expendable. He could remain in the organization as outfield depth if he clears waivers.

The Mariners optioned Wilson to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. Wilson's week-long stint in the big leagues came to an end with first baseman Ty France (elbow) being activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his time with Seattle, Wilson appeared in three games and went 1-for-5 with a walk and a run scored.
