Bryse Wilson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Bryse Wilson appears to be the odd man out in Milwaukee's starting rotation after the club acquired right-hander Aaron Civale from the Tampa Bay Rays this week. Civale will make his team debut on Friday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, while Wilson will be relegated to the bullpen for the time being, according to manager Pat Murphy. The 26-year-old hurler currently has a 4.27 ERA and 1.28 WHIP on the year in 20 appearances (nine starts) while striking out only 62 hitters in 78 innings of work. Wilson has allowed a lot of hard contact this year but has been slightly better out of the bullpen, so that's where he'll head for the time being. He was already a pretty weak streaming option in deep-mixed leagues before the change, so now he belongs on the waiver wire in all mixed fantasy formats.
