In 52 games in 2025, Wilson, who’s played first, second, third base and the corner outfield, hit .198 with five home runs and 17 RBIs.

Last season, he was 3-for-7 with a home run and two RBIs in two games against the Orioles at Citizens Bank Park.

Another utility player, Marco Luciano, who was designated for assignment after Suárez was claimed, is heading to the New York Yankees, who claimed him off waivers on Thursday.
