Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks signed INF Josh Wilson to a minor league contract.

Wilson is strictly a utility infielder and failed to earn a promotion with the Braves last season and won't be a realistic option for the Diamondbacks' 25-man roster. It's not clear whether the deal includes an invite to spring training.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Josh Wilson has been sidelined for 10 days with a strained hamstring.

The good news is that he could be ready to play by Monday. The bad news is that he could ill afford to miss over a week of action when he's fighting for a roster spot. Wilson might begin the season at Triple-A.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Braves signed INF Josh Wilson to a minor league contract.

Wilson posted a weak .224/.258/.353 batting line this year in 92 major league plate appearances. He can play all over the infield, but he'll struggle to land a spot on the Braves' bench out of spring training.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Josh Wilson has elected free agency.

Wilson was removed from Milwaukee's 40-man roster late last month. The 30-year-old infielder batted .224/.258/.353 with two home runs and five RBI over 92 plate appearances between Milwaukee and Arizona this season.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Brewers sent INF Josh Wilson outright to Triple-A Nashville.

The move clears him off the Brewers' 40-man roster. Wilson, 30, batted .224/.258/.353 with two home runs and five RBI over 92 plate appearances between Milwaukee and Arizona this season. His versatility comes in handy, but the Brewers wouldn't have a hard time replacing him.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Brewers claimed INF Josh Wilson off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Wilson was dumped by Arizona earlier this week after going just 2-for-10 with a double and an RBI in six games at the major league level. He's unlikely to make a big impact suddenly for the Brewers.

Wed, May 25, 2011 04:53:00 PM

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks designated INF Josh Wilson for assignment.

He was cleared to make room for Melvin Mora's return from the bereavement list. Wilson didn't play much after being called up from the minors last month, going 2-for-10 (.200) with one double and one RBI over six games.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks purchased the contract of infielder Josh Wilson from Triple-A Reno.

Wilson was hitting .351/.406/.561 in 57 at-bats for Reno, but last year's .227/.278/.294 line in 361 at-bats for the Mariners better describes him as a player. Ideally, he won't be needed to make many starts while Willie Bloomquist is out.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks signed INF Josh Wilson to a minor league contract.

Wilson, who was released by the Mariners earlier this week, will report to Triple-A Reno. The 30-year-old previously appeared in 11 games with the Diamondbacks during the 2009 season. He's nothing special, but makes for a decent insurance policy for Stephen Drew, who is currently dealing with a lower abdominal strain.

Mariners released INF Josh Wilson.

With Brendan Ryan handling shortstop duties and Jack Wilson taking over at second base, the M's simply didn't have a roster space. The 30-year-old will try to join up with another organization before the start of the regular season.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Mariners and SS Josh Wilson avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year contract.

Terms were not disclosed, but Wilson was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. Wilson, who turns 30 next March, batted .227/.278/.294 with two home runs and 25 RBI in 361 at-bats with the Mariners last season. He'll be a reserve infielder for the club in 2011.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Josh Wilson belted a three-run homer off Rays starter James Shields as the Mariners recorded a 6-2 win on Sunday.

Wilson's three-run blast in the sixth inning broke a 2-2 tie, and the Mariners would later add an insurance run. While it was a nice win for the Mariners, at this point their fans are more likely interested in securing the second pick in a loaded 2011 draft. Currently the Mariners are four games "behind" the Pirates for the game's worst record, but only two games "ahead" of the Orioles for the second pick.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Josh Wilson played first base for the first time in his career on Thursday.

"We want to keep Josh in there, we talked about trying to keep him in the lineup and he's plenty athletic enough to do it," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said Thursday, who indicated he will continue shuffling Josh and Jack Wilson at shortstop. "It'll be a good experience for him." Wilson made a throwing error in the fifth inning, so there will be some natural growing pains with a new position. Some extra eligibility at first base won't hurt, but he's hardly a desirable option in fantasy leagues.

Josh Wilson - 2B - Diamondbacks

Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu indicated that Josh Wilson will remain the starting shortstop once Jack Wilson is activated from the disabled list.

"Right now, Josh is playing," Wakamatsu said. "He’s one of our hottest hitters. So, Josh will play and we’ll work (Jack) back in when we see the need for it. But, like I said, it might give us some flexibility to give some other guys some days off and maybe flip Josh around a little bit and keep him in the lineup, too." Jack Wilson is currently rehabbing a hamstring injury with Triple-A Tacoma. Meanwhile, Josh Wilson is batting .288/.342/.396 with one home run and 12 RBI in 111 at-bats. Neither should be on your fantasy radar.

That will be two weeks after Hill was hoping to get the go-ahead to resume baseball activities, as his fractured hand is healing much slower than expected. The original timetable had him possibly returning by late May, but he probably won't be activated until well into June now. May 21
	2	Willie Bloomquist D.L. Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. May 19

CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Adam Eaton (elbow) played five innings in center field for High-A Visalia on Friday. It's the first time he's played the field during his rehab assignment, as he had been limited to DH duty. Eaton was scheduled to play the field again on Saturday before being re-evaluated by the Diamondbacks. He should be activated before the end of the month. Manager Kirk Gibson said he's "not really worried about" finding enough playing time for all the members of a deep group of outfielders. "If we have guys, we’ll find places for them to play," the manager added. May 19

It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation. May 19

Putz has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament, a strained flexor pronator and nerve irritation in his right elbow -- all of which can be addressed through rehab. He will try to return before the end of the 2013 season. Heath Bell has taken over Arizona's ninth-inning gig. May 9
