Wilson signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Saturday as a non-roster invitee.
Wilson struggled in the majors last season with a 9.53 ERA and 2.12 WHIP over 11.1 innings with the Brewers, but he was more polished at the Triple-A level, recording a 2.86 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. While the right-hander could make an appearance in the majors at some point next season, he'd likely be limited to low-leverage roles out of the bullpen.
Wilson agreed to a contract with the Cubs on Monday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
Wilson will stick in the NL Central, joining Chicago after being let go by the Brewers over the weekend. The veteran right-hander struggled during his time in Milwaukee, allowing 12 runs in 11.1 innings while recording a 15.8 percent walk rate, though he compiled a 3.36 ERA in 61.2 innings for Detroit last season. The terms of the contract are not yet known.
Wilson was released by the Brewers on Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Wilson made 13 appearances for the Brewers this season, allowing 12 runs in 11.1 innings while recording a 15.8 percent walk rate. The 32-year-old did post a 3.36 ERA in 61.2 innings for the Tigers last season, so it's possible he finds a big-league job by the end of the season.
Wilson was outrighted to Triple-A San Antonio on Wednesday.
Wilson passed through waivers unclaimed after recording a 9.53 ERA in 11.1 innings for the Brewers. He's now one step further from returning to the majors, as he's no longer on the 40-man roster.
