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.

Sat, Mar 21, 2009 06:51:00 PM

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.

Tue, Jun 12, 2007 09:06:00 PM

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.

Tue, Mar 20, 2007 10:07:00 PM

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.

Sat, Mar 3, 2007 08:08:00 PM

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.

Mon, Jan 29, 2007 04:43:00 PM

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.

Batters

1B	1	Allen Craig
	2	Matt Adams
2B	1	Matt Carpenter
	2	Daniel Descalso
SS	1	Pete Kozma
	2	Rafael Furcal D.L. Cardinals transferred SS Rafael Furcal from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for the addition of Carlos Martinez. Furcal is out for the season following Tommy John surgery. May 3
3B	1	David Freese Sidelined David Freese (thumb) is out of the Cardinals' lineup again Wednesday. He's now missed three straight games due to swelling around his right thumb where he needed three stitches for a small cut. The Cards are worried that cut could split open, so they're playing things cautiously. Freese could be back in there Friday after the off day Thursday. Matt Carpenter is at third again Wednesday, with Daniel Descalso covering second. May 22

LF	1	Matt Holliday
CF	1	Jon Jay
	2	Shane Robinson
RF	1	Carlos Beltran
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Adam Wainwright
	2	Jaime Garcia D.L. Jaime Garcia was diagnosed with a 30-40 percent tear of the labrum in his left shoulder. Dr. James Andrews recommended surgery and reportedly expressed amazement that Garcia pitched as well as he did earlier this season under the circumstances. The Cardinals' team doctor will perform the shoulder procedure. It's safe to say that Garcia will not contribute in a meaningful way for the rest of the 2013 season. May 22
	3	Jake Westbrook D.L. Jake Westbrook had to stop his bullpen session Wednesday after 20 pitches due to pain in his right elbow. Well, that's not good. Westbrook felt fine while playing catch, but this was the first time since landing on the disabled list that he tried to throw from a mound. The right-hander isn't sure what the next step is, but obviously he's not going to be back anytime soon. May 22
	4	Lance Lynn
	5	Shelby Miller
	6	Chris Carpenter D.L. CBS Sports' Scott Miller reports that the Cardinals are hoping that Chris Carpenter (shoulder, neck) is able to join the starting rotation in late June or early July. Carpenter was originally considered unlikely to pitch this season due to a lingering nerve condition in his shoulder and neck. However, he has been encouraged by his throwing program and has suddenly progressed from an option for the bullpen to the starting rotation. The 38-year-old has already stretched himself out to 80 pitches and could begin facing live hitters next week if all goes well. The Cardinals aren't counting on anything, but his unexpected return would provide a major boost for a club which will likely be missing Jaime Garcia (shoulder) for a while. May 22
	7	John Gast
	8	Tyler Lyons
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Edward Mujica
	2	Trevor Rosenthal
	3	Randy Choate
	4	Carlos Martinez
	5	Joe Kelly
	6	Fernando Salas D.L. Cardinals placed RHP Fernando Salas on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with right shoulder irritation. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but the move clears a spot for Wednesday's starter, Tyler Lyons. Rookie right-hander Carlos Martinez could see an increased role during Salas' absence. May 22
	7	Seth Maness
	8	Mitchell Boggs
	9	Jason Motte D.L. Cardinals transferred RHP Jason Motte from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move is being made in order to clear space on the 40-man roster for John Gast, who will be called up to start Tuesday. Motte is out for the year following Tommy John surgery. May 12
