Justin Wilson Won’t Pitch Again In 2023

By Mark Polishuk | August 5, 2023 at 10:42am CDT

When the Brewers placed Justin Wilson on the 15-day injured list on July 29, it was expected that the southpaw was in for another lengthy absence.  Manager Craig Counsell described Wilson’s left lat strain as “pretty significant” at the time, and Counsell updated reporters (including Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) on Friday that Wilson will indeed miss the rest of the 2023 season.

Wilson’s year will end without a single MLB appearance, as his time on the Brewers’ active roster was short-lived.  Milwaukee only activated Wilson from the 60-day IL on July 28, as the left-hander was returning from Tommy John surgery rehab.  Unfortunately, Wilson was warming up in the bullpen for his first appearance of the season when he suffered his lat strain, thus ending his Brewers debut before it officially happened.  Between this injury and the TJ surgery, Wilson has only pitched in five games (for 3 2/3 innings) since the start of the 2022 season.

The Brew Crew signed Wilson to a one-year free agent deal last offseason worth $1MM in guaranteed money — $850K in salary for 2023, and a $150K buyout of a $2.5MM club option for 2024.  The contract was designed to give Milwaukee some flexibility if Wilson ended up missing most or all of the season due to Tommy John rehab, so in theory, the lat strain shouldn’t much change the original equation for the team.  On the other hand, $2.5MM is a decent amount of money for a medium-payroll team to spend on a veteran (Wilson turns 36 this month) reliever who hasn’t pitched in almost two full seasons.  This isn’t a decision the Brewers will have to make until after the World Series is over, so there’s plenty of time for the club to monitor Wilson’s recovery from the lat injury.

In better injury news for the Brewers, Counsell said that Rowdy Tellez is slated to begin a Triple-A rehab assignment on Tuesday.  Tellez hasn’t played since July 4, as a 10-day IL stint that started due to forearm inflammation was then extended when Tellez broke the fingertip on his left ring finger in a fluke accident while shagging fly balls before a game.

      And he’ll continue to work on eating those bratwursts, cheese curds and drinking miler lites while he’s dealing with that injury

    Where does Rowdy fit in? Santana at 1st now. Platoon with Canha at DH, I guess. Who goes down then? Limited infield flexibility

    I wonder what teams E rod had on his no trade, it’d be nice if that was not some big secret. He should have been traded somewhere.

      He would have if Harris had known what he had. Poor fella isn’t very bright. He could have dealt Cisnero and Shreve but Harris isn’t very bright. Kept trying to force that square peg in the round hole.

        Look at some of the relievers that were dealt… Tigers could have made a killing for Foley or Lange. Even Holton.

        I was largely supportive of Harris and giving him benefit of doubt up til this deadline. With ERod, considering he had NTC a backup deal should have been in place or at least close to done in the event the NTC was not waived. Especially in this case where he is not even eligible for a qualifying offer.

        I absolutely agree on the relievers. This years deadline was a complete sellers market for pitchers and Tigers could ve sold very high. Instead they largely stood pat when they had an opportunity to really capitalize.

      @MPrck from what was reported it seems as though his NTC was mainly compromised of West coast teams. Which makes Harris not having a back up plan ready even more perplexing. ERod obviously had a clear wish to avoid going to a west coast team, yet that was completely disregard.
