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.

SS	1	Paul DeJong 10-Day DL Paul DeJong (hand) hit off a tee Saturday for the first time since undergoing surgery. DeJong will travel with the Cards on their upcoming road trip, another sign that he's moving toward a return to the big club. He might require a short rehab stint to get his timing back, but the 24-year-old could be back with the team by the end of the month if things continue to go well. Jun 16

	2	Adam Wainwright 60-Day DL Adam Wainwright said Thursday that the results of tests on his right elbow have been "really encouraging" so far. He still needs to undergo further testing, but so far it doesn't look like he's dealing with any structural damage. "That’s really encouraging," Wainwright said. "You go into something like that and you say, ‘What are they going to find?’ They found the ‘best-case scenario’ stuff. It’s just that my joint basically was inflamed." Wainwright isn't eligible to return until mid-July and what role he'll ultimately have by that time is totally up in the air. May 25

	7	Alex Reyes 10-Day DL Alex Reyes underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right lat muscle on Wednesday. According to Mark Saxon of The Athletic, recovery time on Reyes's surgery is typically six months. Unfortunately, that means the talented right-hander's season is over. Reyes had missed 16 months recovering from Tommy John surgery, and while he put up dominant numbers in his rehab, he suffered an injury in his last rehab start that escalated in his 2018 MLB debut. We'll hopefully see Reyes back on the mound for the Cardinals in 2019. Jun 6

	2	Greg Holland 10-Day DL According to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com, the Cardinals plan to activate Greg Holland from the disabled list at some point during the upcoming week. Holland will travel with the team this week rather than continuing on his rehab assignment. The right-hander has been on the disabled list since May 26 with a right hip impingement. In 13 1/3 innings with the Cardinals this season, he has posted a horrifying 9.45 ERA and 10/15 K/BB ratio. Jun 17
	3	Luke Gregerson 10-Day DL Luke Gregerson had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair his meniscus on Monday and is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. Gregerson has been on the disabled list for nearly four weeks with a right shoulder impingement and now it appears the knee procedure will likely keep him out past the All-Star break. The veteran reliever also began the year on the DL with a strained hamstring and has posted an 8.64 ERA over 12 appearances when he has been healthy. In other words, he's had a rough year. Jun 11
	4	Tyler Lyons 10-Day DL Cardinals placed LHP Tyler Lyons on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to June 6, with a left elbow sprain. It means he has a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament, although it's unclear at this point whether Lyons will try the rest and rehab route or undergo Tommy John surgery. The Cardinals already lost another left-handed reliever, Tyler Lyons, to Tommy John surgery earlier this week. Jun 8
	5	Dominic Leone 60-Day DL Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said Monday that Dominic Leone (arm) is "improving" and the team is "more optimistic" about the reliever's recovery. The GM also added, however, that they'll probably know more about Leone's condition within the next 4-6 weeks, so he's certainly not close to a return. Leone has been on the shelf since early May with nerve damage in his pitching arm. Jun 11
