Weston Wilson Injures Oblique On Friday
28 seconds agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Weston Wilson (oblique) felt something in his oblique while taking swings in the batting cage at camp on Friday morning. The severity of Wilson's injury is unknown, but he'll likely go for testing to determine if he'll need to miss any time in spring training. If it's an oblique injury, the 30-year-old will most likely have to miss at least around a week of action, depending on the severity. If healthy, he should be on Philly's Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder/first baseman after hitting an impressive .284/.347/.489 with an .836 OPS, three home runs, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored in 98 plate appearances over 40 games played. Wilson doesn't have a ton of MLB experience (48 games in two seasons), but when given the chance, he has hit the ball hard consistently. The problem is he doesn't have a clear path to regular playing time.
