Bryse Wilson To Serve As Bulk Reliever On Wednesday
Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable said that right-hander Bryse Wilson will serve as the team's bulk reliever after an opener for Wednesday's game against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Wilson threw a season-high three innings in relief back on April 4 against the Detroit Tigers and might be asked to go around that length in Wednesday's game, but he still won't be worth streaming in any fantasy leagues. The 27-year-old reliever has made nine appearances out of the bullpen so far in his first year in Chicago in 2025 and is sporting a 4.50 ERA (6.79 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with three walks and eight strikeouts in 12 innings pitched. Wednesday's start was originally lined up to be veteran left-hander Martin Perez's (elbow) day, but he's now on the 60-day injured list.
Bryse Wilson Agrees To One-Year Deal With White Sox
Free-agent right-hander Bryse Wilson agreed to a one-year, $1.05 million deal, pending a physical, with the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal includes a potential $250,000 in performance bonuses. The 26-year-old will compete for a start in the starting rotation for the rebuilding White Sox. Wilson chose to head to free agency after being removed from the Milwaukee Brewers' 40-man roster this offseason. He threw 104 2/3 innings in the regular season for the Brew Crew in 2024 and had a 4.04 ERA with 82 strikeouts and 31 walks in 34 appearances (nine starts). As exclusively a reliever for Milwaukee the year prior, Wilson was better with a 2.58 ERA in 53 outings, although he was a bit fortunate. If Wilson does make Chicago's rotation, he'll most likely be more of an innings-eater than anything else and will be a low-upside streamer in deeper fantasy formats.
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers and right-hander Bryse Wilson both cleared waivers on Monday and were outrighted to Triple-A Nashville. Both Bauers and Wilson were arbitration-eligible but will become free agents after being cast off the team's 40-man roster. Bauers matched his previous career-high of 12 home runs and also drove in 43 and stole a career-high 13 bases in 116 games in 2024 in his first year in Milwaukee, but he also hit just .199 with a .301 on-base percentage, .361 slugging percentage and below-average .662 OPS. He's now hit only .208 in five big-league seasons with five different teams. Wilson, 26, served as a swingman for Milwaukee this year, going 5-4 with a 4.04 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with a career-high 82 K's and 31 walks in 104 2/3 frames over his 34 outings (nine starts).
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson appears to be the odd man out in Milwaukee's starting rotation after the club acquired right-hander Aaron Civale from the Tampa Bay Rays this week. Civale will make his team debut on Friday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, while Wilson will be relegated to the bullpen for the time being, according to manager Pat Murphy. The 26-year-old hurler currently has a 4.27 ERA and 1.28 WHIP on the year in 20 appearances (nine starts) while striking out only 62 hitters in 78 innings of work. Wilson has allowed a lot of hard contact this year but has been slightly better out of the bullpen, so that's where he'll head for the time being. He was already a pretty weak streaming option in deep-mixed leagues before the change, so now he belongs on the waiver wire in all mixed fantasy formats.
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Bryse Wilson was tagged by the Colorado Rockies in Monday's 8-7 loss, allowing five runs (all earned) and seven hits over four innings. Wilson replaced opener Rob Zastryzny in the second inning and immediately allowed homers to Charlie Blackmon and Brenton Doyle while striking out three and walking two. He is now 5-3 with a 4.27 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, striking out 62 and walking 28 over 78 innings. Wilson's penchant for allowing dingers has been an issue, as he's allowed 14 homers. Monday's outing marked the fourth time in six outings that Wilson has yielded at least three earned runs, so now is a good time for fantasy managers to bail on him.
Rob Zastryzny To Open For Brewers On Monday, Bryse Wilson To Follow Out Of Bullpen
The Milwaukee Brewers will have pitcher Rob Zastryzny start Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies instead of Bryse Wilson. Milwaukee has done this quite a bit with Wilson recently, as the right-hander has started just once over his last four appearances. However, he is expected to pitch the bulk of innings, while Zastryzny will only pitch one to two frames. In his last appearance on June 25, Wilson came on in relief and threw six scoreless innings with four strikeouts against the Texas Rangers. Fantasy managers, though, should have lower expectations for him on Monday, considering he'll pitch at one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks at Coors Field.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson turned in an excellent outing in his team's 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Wilson entered the game in relief with two outs in the first inning and wound up matching his career-high with seven strikeouts in the game. He finished with two earned runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings to earn the win. Wilson now has a 3-1 record, 2.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 38 strikeouts over 13 appearances (six starts). The veteran right-hander doesn't have big strikeout numbers but he's shown the ability to suppress the opposing team's run production, making him worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues moving forward.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson is no longer listed as the starter for Friday's contest against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, but he could end up serving as the bulk reliever following left-handed Jared Koenig, who will serve as the opener. The 26-year-old Wilson is still worth starting in fantasy lineups on the road in Beantown. In his second season with Milwaukee, he's gone 2-1 with a strong 2.79 ERA (4.95 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with 16 walks and 31 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings over 12 appearances (six starts). His 4.95 FIP shows he's been a bit fortunate so far this year, but he's been better as a starter for a Brewers rotation that has been hit hard by injuries in 2024. Even though he's not starting, Wilson will be the best candidate to pick up a win for the Brew Crew on Friday in a bulk role.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Bryse Wilson turned in another solid start in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Royals. Wilson pitched six scoreless innings, allowing one hit and three walks with six strikeouts. He also hit a batter. The 26-year-old has continued to pitch well since moving into the starting rotation and now owns a 2.40 ERA with an 8.10 K/9 rate and a 3.00 BB/9 rate in 10 appearances (four starts) and 30 IP. He will look to continue his strong performance in a favorable matchup against the Cardinals. Fantasy managers could look to him in deeper leagues as a streaming option.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson is likely to move from the bullpen into the team's starting rotation for now with DL Hall (knee), Wade Miley (elbow) and Jakob Junis (head, shoulder) all on the injured list right now. Wilson made a spot start on the last homestand when the Brewers had a hole in their rotation and tossed 3 2/3 innings of scoreless ball while walking one and striking out two in a no-decision against the San Diego Padres. The former fourth-rounder of the Atlanta Braves in 2016 has been solid in his seven appearances for the Brewers so far in 2024, posting a 3.29 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 12 strikeouts in his 13 2/3 innings pitched. In NL-only leagues for sure, he's worth a pickup if he officially joins Milwaukee's rotation.
