Bryse Wilson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Chicago White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon (back) has been scratched from his start on Saturday against the Texas Rangers due to lower-back tightness and is listed as day-to-day, according to MLB.com's Scott Merkin. With Cannon hurting, right-hander Bryse Wilson will make the start at Rate Field. It sounds like Cannon might be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but it's unclear when he'll be able to take the mound again. The 24-year-old has only 42 strikeouts in 55 innings over his 10 outings (eight starts) this year, but he's been decent with a 3.76 ERA (4.06 FIP) and 1.31 WHIP in his second year in the big leagues. The Rangers are an excellent matchup with a .651 OPS (fourth-worst in baseball), but Wilson will still be a volatile and risky fantasy streamer on Saturday. In his four starts in 2025, he has allowed 13 earned runs on 27 hits (four homers) with eight walks and 10 K's in 17 2/3 frames.

Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable said that right-hander Bryse Wilson will serve as the team's bulk reliever after an opener for Wednesday's game against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Wilson threw a season-high three innings in relief back on April 4 against the Detroit Tigers and might be asked to go around that length in Wednesday's game, but he still won't be worth streaming in any fantasy leagues. The 27-year-old reliever has made nine appearances out of the bullpen so far in his first year in Chicago in 2025 and is sporting a 4.50 ERA (6.79 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with three walks and eight strikeouts in 12 innings pitched. Wednesday's start was originally lined up to be veteran left-hander Martin Perez's (elbow) day, but he's now on the 60-day injured list.

Free-agent right-hander Bryse Wilson agreed to a one-year, $1.05 million deal, pending a physical, with the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal includes a potential $250,000 in performance bonuses. The 26-year-old will compete for a start in the starting rotation for the rebuilding White Sox. Wilson chose to head to free agency after being removed from the Milwaukee Brewers' 40-man roster this offseason. He threw 104 2/3 innings in the regular season for the Brew Crew in 2024 and had a 4.04 ERA with 82 strikeouts and 31 walks in 34 appearances (nine starts). As exclusively a reliever for Milwaukee the year prior, Wilson was better with a 2.58 ERA in 53 outings, although he was a bit fortunate. If Wilson does make Chicago's rotation, he'll most likely be more of an innings-eater than anything else and will be a low-upside streamer in deeper fantasy formats.
