C.J. Wilson: May be headed for retirement
C.J. Wilson said Thursday that he's turning his primary focus toward race car driving and the auto dealership that he owns, but hasn't formally announced his retirement from professional baseball, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. "I don't know. If the situation was right, maybe," Wilson said, in reference to his future in baseball. "But right now I'm here at the dealership. The most attractive offer I had was to race this season."Wilson, 36, made just a lone rehab appearance in the minors in 2016 before requiring season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder in July. Given his advancing age and poor health in recent years -- along with the fact that his production waned when he was healthy enough to pitch during his final three seasons with the Angels -- Wilson unsurprisingly attracted few interested suitors upon hitting free agency this winter, but it was still expected that he'd pitch in a showcase at some point in February. For the time being, it appears the showcase may no longer be in the cards, which would likely be the death knell for a potential comeback.

C.J. Wilson: Progressing toward possible showcase in February
C.J. Wilson (shoulder) began throwing over a month ago and is progressing toward a possible showcase in February, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.Wilson saw his tenure with the Angels end on a sour note when he required season-ending surgery in his contract year, so a showcase to demonstrate his stuff is still there is likely a requirement for a team to take a chance on him. The 36-year-old hasn't produced an ERA+ above league average since 2013 though, so his ceiling is beginning to look fairly limited.

Angels' C.J. Wilson: Needs for season-ending surgery
C.J. Wilson will undergo surgery next week to address fraying on the labrum and rotator cuff in his left shoulder.Things seemed to be trending this way with Wilson seeking a second opinion on the shoulder last week, and the team officially announced Tuesday that the lefty will need surgery. The procedure will knock him out until next season and presumably end his tenure with the Los Angeles Angels, as Wilson's a free agent this winter. He turns 36 in November.

Angels' C.J. Wilson: Leaning toward season-ending surgery
C.J. Wilson (shoulder) is leaning toward undergoing season-ending surgery, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.Apparently, the second opinion Wilson received on his shoulder last week was similar to the first, as he now seems resigned to needing surgery. Wilson has made little notable progress over the past month or so following another setback near the end of May. An MRI around that time reportedly showed no "new damage" to the shoulder.

Angels' C.J. Wilson: Going for second opinion on shoulder
C.J. Wilson is slated for a second opinion on his injured shoulder, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.The shoulder has been bothering Wilson since February and he hasn't pitched, even in a rehab start, since May 25. At this point, it's hard to imagine he's going to pitch in the majors in 2016, but we'll update if his next doctor's visit supplies some unexpected good news.

Angels' C.J. Wilson: No reported progress toward return
C.J. Wilson (shoulder) has not pitched in a game since a May 25 rehab appearance at Inland Empire.He was scheduled to throw a bullpen session two weeks ago, but the Los Angeles Angels have provided nothing in the way of updates regarding Wilson's progress in the time since that scheduled session. It's reasonable to think that he will need four or five rehab starts if and when he's healthy enough to pitch again this season, making it unlikely that he will be activated before the All-Star break.

C.J. Wilson (shoulder) will resume throwing later in the week, Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register reports.Wilson threw a bullpen session last weekend and reported feeling "awful" in the aftermath.

Wilson will now resume throwing, but he'll likely be brought along slowly to avoid another setback.

Angels' C.J. Wilson: Will undergo MRI after poor bullpen session
C.J. Wilson (shoulder) relayed that he felt "awful" during Saturday's bullpen session, and he's now set to undergo an MRI within the next two days, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.Wilson was on the cusp of making his second minor-league rehab start Monday at Triple-A Salt Lake, but that plan will now be nixed after the lefty suffered a setback. The MRI should help clarify Wilson's injury, but right now, the Los Angeles Angels are just labeling his ailment as shoulder discomfort. Even if the MRI results prove to be nothing serious, it's certainly not encouraging that Wilson is already hitting roadblocks in his recovery.

Angels' C.J. Wilson: To make rehab start at Triple-A Monday
C.J. Wilson (shoulder) will make his second rehab start Monday at Triple-A Salt Lake, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.According to Fletcher, Wilson will make at least two starts at Triple-A before the Los Angeles Angels consider activating him from the 60-day DL. Wilson made his first rehab appearance Wednesday at High-A Inland Empire, allowing one earned run over 4.0 innings while striking out four batters. Given that he needs a minimum of two starts at Triple-A, Wilson appears to be on track for a return closer to mid-June than early-June.
