Reds' Justin Wilson: Records save
Justin Wilson retired both batters he faced and recorded his first save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.Lucas Sims was first to get the save opportunity, but he departed after allowing two Cubs to reach base. Enter Wilson, who induced a popout and a groundout to record his first save since September of 2019. Presumably, closer Alexis Diaz was unavailable after having thrown a combined 42 pitches Thursday and Friday. Wilson, who returned from the injured list last week, has a 5.93 ERA over 20 outings (13.2 innings) this season.

The Cincinnati Reds reinstated Justin Wilson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.After being placed on the IL on May 17 with left shoulder tightness, Wilson didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, as the Reds were comfortable enough with how he looked over multiple bullpen sessions to bring him back on the 26-man active roster. Southpaw Alex Young was optioned to Triple-A Louisville to make room in the bullpen for WIlson.

The 36-year-old last appeared in the majors with the Reds in 2022 before needing Tommy John surgery.

Dodgers' Justin Wilson: Drawing manager's attention
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Justin Wilson is one player who has caught his attention in camp, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.Wilson is with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract, so he's not on the 40-man roster and is far from guaranteed to break camp with the big club. However, given Roberts' comments, there's at least a chance that the left-hander hurler could make the Opening Day roster, and he's made his presence known with a 10:1 K:BB over four innings across four spring outings (though he's also given up two runs on five hits). Wilson has had plenty of success in the majors with 18 career saves and 132 career holds, but he hasn't pitched in the big leagues since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June of 2022.

Dodgers' Justin Wilson: Signs as non-roster invitee
Justin Wilson (lat) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.Wilson was expected to return from Tommy John surgery in the middle of last season but suffered a lat injury just before making his 2023 debut, and he missed the entire campaign. The Brewers wound up declining his $2.5 million club option for 2024. The left-hander last saw significant MLB action with the Reds and Yankees in 2021 with a 5.29 ERA in 42 appearances, and he'll likely fill a lower-leverage role if he earns a spot in the Dodgers' bullpen.
