Athletics claimed OF Kenny Wilson off waivers from the Blue Jays; optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.
Forecaster Impact
It's the third new organization that Wilson has joined since April. The 24-year-old outfielder has good speed but he's a weak .239/.333/.338 hitter at Triple-A.

Jays designate Kenny Wilson for assignment

News
Blue Jays designated OF Kenny Wilson for assignment.
Forecaster Impact
Wilson was plucked off waivers from the Twins back in May. He has struggled to the tune of .234/.312/.333 with two homers and 22 RBI across three minor league stops this season. He's unlikely to generate much interest on waivers, and is likely to return as minor league depth for the Jays.

Twins designated OF Kenny Wilson for assignment.
Forecaster Impact
The move clears space on the 40-man roster for Chris Parmelee. Wilson, who was just claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays a couple weeks ago, could be headed back to Toronto given GM Alex Anthopoulos' affinity for being active on the waiver wire.

Twins claimed OF Kenny Wilson off waivers from the Blue Jays; optioned him to Double-A New Britain.
Forecaster Impact
Wilson is a .228/.326/.312 career hitter in the minors, but he's a very good athlete and the Twins need all the outfield depth they can get. The 24-year-old was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on April 22.
