The 36-year-old has been tearing it up at Triple-A Round Rock this season, posting a .918 OPS in 22 games with the Express. This intrigued the Tribe enough to bring him over to Cleveland, although he'll likely spend more time as an organizational depth piece given the lack of room on the big-league roster.

The 36-year-old infielder has some major-league experience to his name, most recently spending 2014 with Texas and 2015 with Detroit. The latter stint showed some promise, as he pieced together a .316 batting average in 38 at-bats with the Tigers. He'll likely provide organizational depth unless a glaring hole appears at the major-league level.

In what is one of many moves to come the Tigers released Wilson. He had a .316 batting average over 41 plate appearances in 2015. He certainly has a chance to picked up by a smaller market team on the cheap.

Wilson will join the team as a utility infielder. He will replace Hernan Perez whom the Tigers lost via waivers Tuesday.
