The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated infielder/outfielder Weston Wilson from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday.
Wilson, 30, began the season on the IL with a left oblique strain sustained during spring training.
He batted .158 (6-for-38) with two RBIs in 10 rehab games with Class A Clearwater and Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Wilson started in left field and batted eighth in Wednesday’s game against the host New York Mets.
Wilson is a .289 career hitter with four homers and 12 RBIs in 49 games with the Phillies from 2023-24.
To make room on the 26-man roster, Philadelphia designated INF/OF Kody Clemens for assignment. Clemens, 28, had no hits in seven plate appearances this season.
Also, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said left-hander Cristopher Sanchez will not undergo an MRI after exiting Tuesday’s start with left forearm tightness. Sanchez (2-1, 3.42 ERA) was removed after two innings against the New York Mets after giving up two runs on four hits and two walks.
“He actually wanted to play catch today,” Thomson said. “Last I had heard, they just want him just to rest today.”
