Seattle Mariners infielder Will Wilson has been sidelined with a broken left thumb, leading the team to place him on the 10-day injured list this Saturday.
The roster move was made effective Thursday. To fill the gap, Seattle brought up catcher Jhonny Pereda from their Triple-A Tacoma affiliate.
Wilson, age 27, appeared in just two contests this season, posting a .200 batting average with one hit in five at-bats. His lone hit was a home run in his debut at-bat during Seattle’s 11-9 victory over St. Louis on April 25. The thumb injury likely occurred during his second appearance Wednesday, when he went hitless in three at-bats with one walk and one strikeout in a 5-3 win against Minnesota.
The Angels drafted Wilson 15th overall in 2019 from North Carolina State University.
Playing second and third base, Wilson entered the majors in 2025 with Cleveland, where he hit .192 across 34 games with 15 hits in 78 at-bats, driving in two runs and recording four doubles. He joined Seattle as a free agent this past January.
The 30-year-old Pereda brings major league experience from stints with Miami in 2024 and both Oakland and Minnesota in 2025, compiling a .241 career average with eight RBIs over 48 games.
Seattle also made additional roster changes Saturday, sending left-handed pitcher Josh Simpson, 28, down to Tacoma while promoting right-hander Nick Davila, 27, from Double-A Arkansas.
