Preston Wilson is hoping to make a comeback this season, reports ESPN's Jayson Stark.

Wilson last played in the majors in 2007 and spent time with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League. Wilson is seeking a minor league pact with an invite to spring training, but is just one of many outfielders in that situation. He has a career .264/.329/.468 line in 4,003 at bats.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson, who lasted played in the majors in May 2007, has signed on with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League.

Wilson was shut down by knee surgery in 2007, but it was a surprise that he never resurfaced, even on a minor league deal, last year. He's just 34, so there is the chance that he could make it back to the majors at some point.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson underwent surgery on his right knee Tuesday and will be out the rest of the season.

The Cardinals weren't going to benefit from his presence anyway. Wilson hit .219/.265/.313 in 64 at-bats before going on the disabled list.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson is in Colorado on Monday to have Dr. Richard Steadman look at his knee.

Steadman will examine Wilson's sore knee to determine if a cleanup procedure or more serious microfracture surgery is necessary. If he has microfracture surgery, he will be finished for the season.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

The Cardinals are growing increasingly worried that Preston Wilson might not return this season as Wilson is all but committed to undergoing surgery on his right knee.

Wilson has swelling in the knee and treatment has done nothing to alleviate the condition. "He's clearly at the point where he needs to consider something surgical," Dr. George Paletta said. Wilson planned to consult with noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard Steadman soon for a second opinion.

Preston Wilson (sore knee) hasn't swung a bat since going on the disabled list on May 6.

Wilson is still feeling pain in the knee and there is no timetable for the start of his rehab.

Wed, May 23, 2007 10:27:00 AM

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals placed outfielder Preston Wilson on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right knee.

The Cardinals could gain from going from Wilson to Ryan Ludwick in a reserve role. Wilson followed up an ugly spring with a .219/.265/.313 line, one homer and five RBI in 64 at-bats to start the year. Maybe a healthier knee will help, but it's quite possible he's done as a useful player.

Sun, May 6, 2007 01:04:00 PM

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

The Cardinals are expected to place Preston Wilson (knee) on the 15-day disabled list in the very near future.

Wilson had his right knee drained after Saturday's 13-0 loss. He has experienced discomfort in the joint for much of the season and did not play Wednesday afternoon in Milwaukee because of stiffness. Wilson is hitting .222 with one home run and five RBI. He has made 14 starts, all in right field.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson went 0-for-3 on Saturday to finish the spring at .192/.250/.269 in 52 at-bats.

Wilson is very lucky to still have a job after finishing with no homers, three RBI and 16 strikeouts this spring. Even with Juan Encarnacion out, he should be limited to playing only against left-handers early on.

Sat, Mar 31, 2007 08:41:00 PM

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson doubled three times and scored three runs Tuesday against the Dodgers.

He had delivered just one extra-base hit this spring. Wilson hasn't impressed the Cardinals with his effort or his performance, but he'll probably be on the team anyway over the more deserving John Rodriguez. Perhaps they'll be room for both with Juan Encarnacion on the DL.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson made his spring debut in center field Friday.

Manager Tony La Russa said he's "interested to see how he looks (in center field) this year." Wilson will probably get some playing time in all three outfield positions.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson rejoined the starting lineup for Monday's game and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts as a designated hitter.

Wilson missed the previous two days with biceps tenderness.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Preston Wilson was held out of Saturday's game with biceps tenderness.

He's expected to miss a few days with the injury.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals re-signed outfielder Preston Wilson to a one-year, $1 million contract.

He can make an extra $500,000 in incentives. Wilson still has some value as a fourth outfielder, but the Cardinals might have been better off without him. The 32-year-old hit .243/.300/.486 in 111 at-bats after joining St. Louis last year. He then hit .200 with two RBI in 35 at-bats in he playoffs. The smart strategy would be to use him only against lefties in a platoon with Chris Duncan. However, he'll probably also get some at-bats against righties, especially when Jim Edmonds is hurt. So Taguchi seems unlikely to have value in NL-only leagues with Wilson back.

Preston Wilson - OF - Cardinals

The Cardinals are talking with free agent Preston Wilson, probably about a one-year deal.

Wilson hit .243/.300/.486 in 111 at-bats after joining the Cardinals last season and then .200 with two RBI in 35 at-bats in the playoffs. St. Louis could bring him back as a fourth outfielder. Giving him any of Chris Duncan's playing time against righties would be a bad idea.

	2	Kolten Wong Sidelined Kolten Wong (shoulder) hit a pinch-hit leadoff triple in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday, but the Cardinals weren't able to drive him in and fell 2-1 to the Reds. Wong was held out of the starting lineup yet again with shoulder discomfort, but his swing looked free and easy as he launched a ball off the top of the right field wall at Busch Stadium. He flew around the bases before sliding feet-first into third. But that is where Wong would remain, with Reds closer Raisel Iglesias inducing two groundouts and a shallow outfield fly from the Cardinals' next three batters. Wong should be able to make a start or two over St. Louis' final four regular season games. Sep 29

LF	1	Matt Holliday 15-Day DL Matt Holliday (thumb) is doubtful to return to the Cardinals' active roster this year. Holliday was aiming to take live batting practice over the weekend, but it didn't happen. The veteran outfielder is apparently still dealing with some discomfort and strength issues surrounding his surgically-repaired right thumb. St. Louis has an interesting decision to make this winter with Holliday holding a $17 million club option for 2017. He posted a career-low .768 OPS with 19 homers and 60 RBI in 107 games this season and will turn 37 years old in January. Sep 27

	7	Lance Lynn 60-Day DL Lance Lynn (elbow) has ended his minor league rehab assignment. Lynn tossed 48 pitches over three scoreless innings in a start at Double-A Springfield last week and felt fine after the outing, but Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the Cardinals made the decision to shut him down because he "was not going to be cleared to contribute in the majors this season" just 10 months removed from Tommy John surgery. Lynn should be 100 percent for the beginning of spring training next February. The 29-year-old right-hander holds an excellent 3.37 ERA and 766 strikeouts in 791 1/3 career major league innings. Aug 31
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Seung Hwan Oh Sidelined Seung Hwan Oh suffered a blown save Thursday, allowing a run on two hits, but ended up getting the win against the Reds. A day after leaving an outing with groin discomfort, Oh was back in there but didn't get the job done, giving up a leadoff double and eventually allowing the run to score on a soft infield hit with two outs. Oh then struck out Adam Duvall to end the frame, his second strikeout in the inning. Blown save aside, the 34-year-old didn't show many ill effects from the groin injury, and while he'll likely be given Friday off, the right-hander should be ready and able to pitch against the Pirates this weekend. Sep 30
	2	Kevin Siegrist
	3	Trevor Rosenthal
	4	Zach Duke
	5	Matt Bowman
	6	Tyler Lyons 60-Day DL Cardinals transferred LHP Tyler Lyons from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move effectively rules him out for the remainder of the regular season, as he wouldn't be eligible to return until September 29. Lyons is battling a stress reaction in his right knee. Aug 12
	7	Jonathan Broxton
	8	Seth Maness 60-Day DL Cardinals transferred RHP Seth Maness from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move frees up a 40-man roster spot. Maness had Tommy John surgery last month. Sep 4
