Wilson struck out five and walked one while allowing two runs -- one earned -- on four hits over seven innings against the Giants on Friday night. While Wilson did not factor in the decision, he lowered his season ERA to 2.73 through five starts. Thus far, Wilson has had a few favorable matchups against teams that have generally struggled against left-handed pitching. He'll face the Mariners at home Wednesday in his next scheduled start.

Wilson threw the ball against the Giants on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits with five strikeouts over seven innings. Wilosn likely deserved better than his no-decision Friday, as he didn't allow an extra-base hit through his seven innings. The 34-year-old had fluid drained from his elbow before the outing, but doesn't anticipate problems going forward, telling Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com "it's manageable." While his optimism is encouraging, owners may want to monitor him a bit more closely going forward, starting with his outing against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Wilson (elbow) allowed one run over 5.2 innings against the Rangers on Saturday. He struck out four and walked three in the contest. Wilson had his start pushed back because of elbow soreness, and struggled with his command Saturday, needing 103 pitches to record 13 outs. The 34-year-old will reportedly take steps to protect his elbow going forward, telling Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register that he will throw less in between starts for the foreseeable future. There were questions regarding Wilson's command coming into the season, and the fact that he is now dealing with an injury could drum up more concern in the minds of prospective owners. Wilson will face the Giants on Friday.

Wilson (elbow) has been confirmed as Saturday's starter against Texas. The Angels decided to give Wilson, who was originally slated to start Thursday, a couple extra days to rest his stiff elbow. Wilson gave up six runs in 5.2 innings against Kansas City in his second start of the year, but is sitting with a 0.98 WHIP and .187 BAA through 20.1 innings this season. Opposing lefties have combined to go just 1-for-18 against him.

Wilson (elbow) is expected to start Saturday against the Rangers, ESPN Los Angeles reports. The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday due to stiffness in his elbow -- Nick Tropeano will start in his place -- but evidently the issue will not even cost Wilson a full turn in the rotation. Considering the nature of the injury, it would be wise of owners to confirm Wilson's status Saturday before deploying him against Texas.

Wilson will have his regularly-scheduled start skipped Thursday due to illness, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports. Wilson is apparently feeling a bit under the weather, but as long as no further complications arise, he should be able to make up the start at some point this weekend. Otherwise, he next start on paper would land next Wednesday in a road matchup against Oakland. Right-hander Nick Tropeano is scheduled to take the hill against the Athletics in his stead.

Wilson allowed two runs in 6.2 innings while walking four and striking out eight against the Astros on Saturday. Wilson left the contest with a man on in the seventh, before a home run surrendered by Mike Morin added another run to his tally. The 33-year-old was able to keep runs to a minimum despite losing the zone at times, but did surrender his first home run of the season to George Springer in the sixth. He will look for an opportunity to get back on the right side of the ledger Thursday against the A's

Wilson allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits in 5.2 innings en route to taking a loss against the Royals on Sunday. Wilson simply didn't have it Sunday, as he was hammered by the Royals for a home run, two triples and three doubles over 94 pitches. The good news is that the 34-year-old once again walked just one batter in the contest, giving him just two in 13.2 frames this season. He will look to rebound in his next outing against the Astros on Saturday.

Wilson twirled a gem in his first start of the season Tuesday, holding the Mariners scoreless for eight innings en route to a victory. Wilson, who walked one and struck out two in the contest, looked like a new man on the mound Tuesday, as he was able to get through eight frames with just 96 pitches, throwing 63 of them for strikes. Wilson was hurt by the free pass last season, allowing 85 walks in 175.2 innings, but if the 33-year-old is focusing on pounding the zone and being more efficient, he could be worth monitoring going forward.

Wilson struggled in his return to the Cactus League on Sunday, allowing two runs (on two home runs) three hits and four walks in 4.1 innings against the Giants. Wilson missed his last two turns in the rotation because of knee issues and an illness, but was able to pitch in Wednesday's intrasquad game before taking the hill Sunday. Wilson has allowed two earned runs over 7.1 innings this spring, but has allowed four walks to go with the two homers, which could be seen as less than encouraging after he posted an 11.2 percent walk rate in 2014.
