Steven Wilson Returns From Injured List
1 year agoThe San Diego Padres activated relief pitcher Steven Wilson (pectoral) from the 15-day injured list to begin the second half of the season on Friday. Wilson will return to the big leagues for the first time since late June after he landed on the injured list with a right-pectoral strain. It's great news for a Padres bullpen that has had its share of issues in close games in 2023. The 28-year-old right-hander probably isn't going to see many save chances, if any, but he's been an integral part of the Friars back end of the bullpen the last two years and is returning to a solid 2.43 ERA (3.98 FIP), 1.00 WHIP, 16 walks and 40 strikeouts in 37 relief innings this year. Wilson will be valuable in fantasy leagues that count holds as he returns to a high-leverage setup role in front of closer Josh Hader.
