After optioning Sean Newcomb to the alternate training site, as manager Brian Snitker announced Monday night, the Braves recalled Wilson, who’s getting his first taste of the majors this season.
Wilson, 22, has appeared in nine games (five starts) over the past two seasons. He has a 7.00 ERA with 22 walks against 16 strikeouts in the small sample of 27 innings. The right-hander is fastball-heavy, trying to develop his change-up and slider to take another leap in his development.
The Braves haven’t announced their rotation plans, but it’s possible Wilson will be making his first start in the coming days.
