Wilson (shoulder) will open the season on the injured list, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
An MRI last week confirmed that Wilson wasn't dealing with an serious shoulder injury, and he's since resumed throwing. He's in a fine place in his recovery, but the lost buildup time means he won't be quite ready to go by Opening Day. The Yankees can backdate his trip to the injured list, meaning he won't have to miss more than a week to start the season.

Wilson (shoulder) played catch from 90 feet Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson threw for the first time since exiting Monday's game with a trainer, and he reportedly felt great after his throwing session. While it doesn't appear as though Wilson will be ready to pitch in time for Opening Day, the team still hasn't determined whether he'll require time on the injured list to begin the regular season.

Wilson (shoulder) won't throw "for at least a few days," Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
This likely puts Wilson out of the running for Opening Day, though an official timeline for his return has yet to be announced. The left-hander is nonetheless believed to have avoided serious injury and isn't expected to miss extensive time.

Manager Aaron Boone said the MRI that Wilson (shoulder) underwent Tuesday revealed "nothing actionable."
EDGE Analysis
Wilson has been dealing with left shoulder tightness since leaving Monday's spring game with a trainer. The southpaw will receive an oral anti-inflammatory medication over the next several days and will resume a throwing program following his treatment. While it appears unlikely that Wilson will be available for Opening Day, he seems to have avoided a serious injury and is currently considered day-to-day.

Wilson (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Once the results of Wilson's MRI become available, the Yankees are expected to provide an update on how long the lefty might be sidelined after he exited Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies with shoulder tightness. He retired none of the four batters he faced prior to departing with the injury, and his spring ERA now sits at 23.14 over four appearances.

Wilson was diagnosed with tightness in his left shoulder after exiting Monday's contest early.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson motioned to the dugout in the middle of his outing and quickly exited the game after speaking with a trainer. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday, though the injury has the potential to hold him out through the start of the regular season.

Wilson (undisclosed) exited Monday's game with a trainer, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Wilson retired only one batter (via strikeout) in Wednesday's Grapefruit League appearance versus Pittsburgh, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits.
EDGE Analysis
It's safe to assume that this isn't how Wilson anticipated his first outing of the spring to go. He struck out the first batter he faced, then allowed a solo home run to Jared Oliva. The next three batters reached base (one via error) before Brian Goodwin ended Wilson's appearance with a grand slam to right field. Despite the rough start, the southpaw has a firm hold on a bullpen spot for the Yankees, especially with fellow left-hander Zack Britton out for an extended period due to elbow surgery.

Wilson signed with the Yankees on Monday, Sweeny Murti of Sports Radio 66 WFAN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The financial terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. The 33-year-old has 18 career saves, though he's unlikely to pick up many more this season in a bullpen where he'll be the third southpaw behind two of the best left-handed relievers of this generation in Aroldis Chapman and Zack Britton. Still, Wilson should certainly be able to help the Yankees, as he recorded a 3.66 ERA in 19.2 innings for the Mets last season and owns a 3.26 ERA across the last four campaigns.

Wilson retired both batters he faced Tuesday en route to earning his ninth hold of the season in the Mets' 5-2 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Wilson was summoned from the bullpen after starter Seth Lugo departed in the seventh inning with one out and runners on first and second. After a successful double steal by the Rays put two runners in scoring position, Wilson induced a groundball to record the second out of the inning. He then allowed the Rays to cut their deficit to one run on a wild pitch, but he buckled down and struck out Hunter Renfroe to end the threat. Wilson now has nine holds on the season to go with a 3.86 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 22 appearances.
