Orioles' Weston Wilson: Claimed off waivers by Orioles
Rotowire
The Orioles claimed Wilson off waivers from the Phillies on Thursday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Wilson slashed only .198/.282/.369 in 52 regular-season games for the Phillies in 2025, but he's a career .250/.359/.475 hitter versus left-handed pitching. He does not have minor-league options remaining, so he'll have to pass through the waiver process again if the Orioles elect not to keep him on the big-league roster.

Phillies' Weston Wilson: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Phillies designated Wilson for assignment Tuesday.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of J.T. Realmuto, whose re-signing was made official Tuesday.

Rotowire
Wilson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
Wilson continues to occupy a reserve role, though his playing time has picked up a bit with the Phillies' middle infield stretched thin by the absences of Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin). Most of Wilson's playing time has come in a short-side platoon role at a variety of positions. He's now at a .202/.276/.393 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 98 plate appearances this season.

Phillies' Weston Wilson: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Rotowire
Wilson (oblique) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Wilson, who has yet to make his season debut with Philadelphia after suffering a left oblique strain in spring training, appeared in four games with Single-A Clearwater last week, going 1-for-10 with four walks, a stolen base and four runs. Per MLB.com, Wilson is scheduled to play nine innings at second base Tuesday, and he could get some exposure to the corner outfield later on in the week while he's with Lehigh Valley.

Phillies' Weston Wilson: Delivers three hits in loss
Rotowire
Wilson went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.

Phillies' Weston Wilson: Fills up box score in debut
Rotowire
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.
It was a debut to remember for the 28-year-old rookie after he spent 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.
