Wilson had lost five of his last six decisions, though he was pitching no worse than he did when he opened the season 3-0. Now he's 5-5 with a 3.90 ERA. His 1.43 WHIP is still pretty unimpressive, but it's been coming down since April. Wilson has a favorable matchup at home against the Mariners next time out. Jun 15 - 1:33 AM

Date:

C.J. Wilson struggled in Saturday’s loss to the Red Sox, surrendering four runs on eight hits over his five innings of work.

Wilson also issued three free passes on the evening while striking out five. He was also highly inefficient with his pitches, needing 104 to get through five frames. He’s been awful over his last three starts, compiling a 6.88 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. He’ll attempt to get back on track when he takes on the Yankees at home on Friday.
Jun 8 - 11:27 PM

C.J. Wilson was charged with three runs on five hits and had nine strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Astros.

Wilson dominated early with six strikeouts in his first 10 outs, but gave up solo home runs to Carlos Corporan and Carlos Pena for two of his three runs. Despite the loss, he was able to bounce back after struggling in his last outing. Wilson now has a 3.93 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through his first 12 starts.
Jun 2 - 7:17 PM

C.J. Wilson's run of impressive starts ended on Memorial Day, as he allowed six runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Dodgers.

Prior to the outing, Wilson hadn't allowed more than three earned runs in a start since April 9. His ERA bounced from 3.39 to 3.95 during Monday's lemon, but it wasn't all bad news. Wilson, who hadn't walked less than two batters in an outing this year, surrendered no free passes to the crosstown Dodgers. The lefty takes a 4-3 record and 1.46 WHIP into a dream matchup next time out against the Astros.
May 28 - 1:26 AM

C.J. Wilson allowed just one run over eight innings of the Angels' 7-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday.

Wilson had pitched well in three losses prior to Wednesday's start, so he took matters into his own hands against the Mariners. Wilson struck out 10 batters in his eight innings, and he now owns a 3.39 ERA through 10 starts. He'll take his next turn Monday against the Dodgers.
May 22 - 10:09 PM

C.J. Wilson allowed three runs and four walks over 6 2/3 innings on Sunday night in a loss to the White Sox.

Wilson wasn't nearly as good as Chris Sale, but held his own with six shutout innings before allowing three runs in the seventh. He gave up six hits and had just three strikeouts. Wilson has been highly inconsistent this season. He has a 3.88 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through his first eight starts.
May 12 - 11:04 PM

C.J. Wilson allowed seven runs -- two earned -- in 6 1/3 innings as the Angels lost to the Astros on Tuesday.

Wilson was hit-or-miss, fanning 12 batters to go along with the seven runs allowed. He didn't get much help from his catcher, as Hank Conger had two fielding errors that led to the Astros' five-run third inning. The lefty has been generally good this season, so one rough outing shouldn't do much to change his standing in. He'll try to be better the next time out against the White Sox.
May 8 - 12:26 AM

C.J. Wilson moved to 3-0 this season by limiting the A's to two runs in 6 1/3 innings on Wednesday.

The bullpen held on from there in a 5-4 game, if only barely. Wilson still hasn't had a great outing this season -- he allowed six hits and walked five in this one -- but he also hasn't had any particularly bad ones and the Angels have scored 4-6 runs for him every time out. As a result, he's yet to take a loss despite a 4.04 ERA and a poor 1.57 WHIP.
May 1 - 7:24 PM

C.J. Wilson struck out nine while allowing three runs in 5 1/3 innings Friday in a win over the Mariners.

Wilson isn't doing much more than treading water, but thanks to generous run support, he has a 2-0 record to go along with his 4.30 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. Mixed leaguers should wait and see how he does against Oakland and Houston in his next two stats before they consider selling.
Apr 27 - 2:00 AM

C.J. Wilson allowed three runs on five hits over six innings and took a no-decision in his start Sunday against the Tigers.

Wilson didn't have his best stuff, but likely would have come away with a win if not for giving up a two-run homer to Prince Fielder. He posted four strikeouts and finished with 109 pitches. Wilson has a plus matchup in his next start Friday against the Mariners.
Apr 21 - 9:00 PM

C.J. Wilson allowed just one run on five hits over six innings in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Astros.

Wilson was solid for the most part, but he struggled with his command (four walks) and had to be removed at 115 pitches after working up a high pitch count. It was his first win of the season after getting no-decisions in both of his previous outings. Wilson's next start will come against the Tigers this weekend.
Apr 14 - 6:56 PM

C.J. Wilson allowed four runs -- three earned -- in six innings against the Reds on Wednesday.

Wilson actually did pretty well to limit the damage, as he allowed five hits and four walks over his six frames. The 32-year-old lefty had his worst year as a starter in 2012 and he still won 13 games in the process. Wilson isn't a frontline guy, but he's a serviceable third or fourth pitcher in mixed fantasy leagues.
Apr 3 - 10:35 PM

C.J. Wilson was absolutely obliterated in Friday’s loss to the Royals in Grapefruit League action, surrendering eight runs (six earned) on eight hits and a walk over 2 2/3 innings of work.

Five of the seven outs that Wilson recorded came via the strikeout, so he has that going for him at least. Eric Hosmer and Jeff Francoeur each knocked one over the boards on the afternoon against him. He’s had a very disappointing spring to this point, posting a 7.11 ERA and 1.97 WHIP over 12 2/3 innings, despite his 11/2 K/BB ratio.
Mar 22 - 7:54 PM

C.J. Wilson allowed six hits but only one run over three innings in Thursday's win over the Padres.

He struck out one and served up a longball to Jesus Guzman. Wilson has now allowed 10 hits over his first 4 2/3 innings this spring, but the Angels really only care if he finishes Cactus League play healthy.
Mar 7 - 7:54 PM

C.J. Wilson allowed two runs on four hits in 1 2/3 innings in his first Cactus League start Saturday.

Wilson struck out two batters while not allowing a walk, so it wasn't all bad for the Angels' lefty on the day. Wilson, 32, had surgery to remove bone chips from his left elbow shortly after the 2012 season ended, so any spring statlines should be taken with a grain of salt. Having made at least 33 starts in each of his three seasons since becoming a starter, Wilson is as durable as it gets these days. He is on track to be ready for Opening Day.
