Wilson improved to 6-6 as he allowed one run on five hits and three walks over six innings Monday against the Yankees.
Wilson has now allowed one run or fewer in three of his past four starts. The quality start was Wilson's ninth in 16 outings this year. Over 25 percent of Wilson's earned runs came in a pair of outings to begin the month; starts like Monday's have been closer to the norm for Wilson, who lowered his ERA to 3.78 in the process.
Wed Jun 24 201501:14Wilson fell to 5-6 as he took beating Tuesday from Astros
Wilson fell to 5-6 as he took a beating Tuesday from the Astros. He allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks over just 3.1 innings.
Tuesday marks the first time Wilson hasn't made it through at least five innings this season. Wilson still has 35 strikeouts in just 31.1 innings in June, but he has given up six home runs and is struggling to keep the ball on the ground -- he induced just three ground balls in Tuesday's loss.

Wilson (5-5) shut down the Diamondbacks on Thursday, striking out nine while giving up just one run on eight hits in eight innings.
He didn't walk a batter for the second time in three starts, and that's no mean feat for a guy like Wilson, who's been dogged by control issues throughout his career. And holding the D-Backs -- the National League's most productive offense -- to one run in their hitter-friendly home ballpark is a darn fine accomplishment too. The veteran lefty is in the midst of by far the finest of his four seasons as an Angel, and he's responded to a pair of blowups by posting two consecutive dominant outings. He'll look to make it three when he faces the Astros on Tuesday.

Wilson spun a gem against the A's on Saturday, tossing seven scoreless innings while striking out eight and walking three en route to his fourth victory of the season.
Wilson got back on track in a big way Saturday, with only a high pitch count (106) preventing him from progressing further in the contest. Wilson has been inconsistent on the mound this season, but has struck out 28 batters in his last 26 innings, which could make him an intriguing play going forward.

Wilson allowed six runs on seven hits while striking out eight over seven innings in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday.
Wilson has now struck out at least seven batters in three straight starts, but has allowed 12 earned runs over that span, including a season-high three homers in Monday's loss. It's worth noting that he did not issue a walk in the contest, but while he has shown some positive signs, his inconsistency makes him a tricky play, particularly in hitter-firendly environments. The 34-year-old will take a 3.92 ERA to the mound against the A's on Saturday.

Wilson allowed five runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking three over six innings in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.
Wilson has struggled with his command of late, walking 11 batters in his last three starts, after allowing just three free passes in his previous three outings. He will look to reestablish the strike zone when he takes a 3.55 ERA into a rematch against the Rays on the road next week.

Wilson gave up one run and two hits in six innings Thursday against the Tigers. He struck out seven and walked five.
Wilson (3-3) allowed his only run in the third, hitting two-time AL MVP Miguel Cabrera on the right foot with the bases loaded after giving up a leadoff single to James McCann and two two-out walks. The Angels supported Wilson with 12 runs, enough to earn him the win. His next outing will be against Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Wilson gave up four runs on seven hits over six innings while striking out six and walking three in a losing effort against the Red Sox on Saturday night.
Mike Napoli did most of the damage against him, as the Red Sox first baseman hit both of the home runs that Wilson surrendered. After a two-start week featuring a pair of tough road matchups, Wilson will face another difficult test against the Tigers at home Thursday in his next scheduled start.

Wilson struggled in a no-decision Monday afternoon, allowing four runs in five innings against the Blue Jays.
Wilson allowed a season-high 10 hits in the bumpy outing and struck out just three. Wilson hadn't allowed more than two runs in any of his previous five starts, and should bounce back nicely when he takes the mound against the Red Sox this weekend.
Wed May 13 201511:27Wilson allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six over...
Wilson allowed two runs on five hits while striking out six over eight innings in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.
Wilson has looked good good over his last three starts, throwing 22 innings over that span. The 34-year-old has always had issues with control as a starting pitcher, which culminated in a career-high walk rate last season, but he appears to have found a way to stem the tide, having walked just two batters in his last three outings. Wilson will look to continue to challenge hitters when he takes a 2.63 ERA into a matchup against the Blue Jays on Monday.
Thu May 7 201500:52Wilson allowed two runs over seven innings while notching four s...
Wilson allowed two runs over seven innings while notching four strikeouts Wednesday against Seattle, earning a no-decision.
Wilson was in line for the win heading into the ninth inning, but closer Huston Street allowed the tying run to cross. He threw 61 of his 96 pitches for strikes and didn't walk a single batter. His lone mistake was leaving a fastball up and in to Kyle Seager, who pulled it into the right field stands for a two-run home run. Wilson will make his next start Tuesday at home against Colorado.

Wilson struck out five and walked one while allowing two runs -- one earned -- on four hits over seven innings against the Giants on Friday night.
While Wilson did not factor in the decision, he lowered his season ERA to 2.73 through five starts. Thus far, Wilson has had a few favorable matchups against teams that have generally struggled against left-handed pitching. He'll face the Mariners at home Wednesday in his next scheduled start.

Wilson threw the ball against the Giants on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Wilosn likely deserved better than his no-decision Friday, as he didn't allow an extra-base hit through his seven innings. The 34-year-old had fluid drained from his elbow before the outing, but doesn't anticipate problems going forward, telling Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com "it's manageable." While his optimism is encouraging, owners may want to monitor him a bit more closely going forward, starting with his outing against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Wilson (elbow) allowed one run over 5.2 innings against the Rangers on Saturday. He struck out four and walked three in the contest.
Wilson had his start pushed back because of elbow soreness, and struggled with his command Saturday, needing 103 pitches to record 13 outs. The 34-year-old will reportedly take steps to protect his elbow going forward, telling Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register that he will throw less in between starts for the foreseeable future. There were questions regarding Wilson's command coming into the season, and the fact that he is now dealing with an injury could drum up more concern in the minds of prospective owners. Wilson will face the Giants on Friday.
Sat Apr 25 201519:24Wilson (elbow) confirmed as Saturday's starter against Texas
Wilson (elbow) has been confirmed as Saturday's starter against Texas.
The Angels decided to give Wilson, who was originally slated to start Thursday, a couple extra days to rest his stiff elbow. Wilson gave up six runs in 5.2 innings against Kansas City in his second start of the year, but is sitting with a 0.98 WHIP and .187 BAA through 20.1 innings this season. Opposing lefties have combined to go just 1-for-18 against him.
Wed Apr 22 201521:25Wilson (elbow) expected to start Saturday against Rangers
Wilson (elbow) is expected to start Saturday against the Rangers, ESPN Los Angeles reports.
The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday due to stiffness in his elbow -- Nick Tropeano will start in his place -- but evidently the issue will not even cost Wilson a full turn in the rotation. Considering the nature of the injury, it would be wise of owners to confirm Wilson's status Saturday before deploying him against Texas.
Wed Apr 22 201520:58C.J. Wilson: Scratched Thursday
Wilson will have his regularly-scheduled start skipped Thursday due to illness, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.
Wilson is apparently feeling a bit under the weather, but as long as no further complications arise, he should be able to make up the start at some point this weekend. Otherwise, he next start on paper would land next Wednesday in a road matchup against Oakland. Right-hander Nick Tropeano is scheduled to take the hill against the Athletics in his stead.

Wilson allowed two runs in 6.2 innings while walking four and striking out eight against the Astros on Saturday.
Wilson left the contest with a man on in the seventh, before a home run surrendered by Mike Morin added another run to his tally. The 33-year-old was able to keep runs to a minimum despite losing the zone at times, but did surrender his first home run of the season to George Springer in the sixth. He will look for an opportunity to get back on the right side of the ledger Thursday against the A's

Wilson allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits in 5.2 innings en route to taking a loss against the Royals on Sunday.
Wilson simply didn't have it Sunday, as he was hammered by the Royals for a home run, two triples and three doubles over 94 pitches. The good news is that the 34-year-old once again walked just one batter in the contest, giving him just two in 13.2 frames this season. He will look to rebound in his next outing against the Astros on Saturday.

Wilson twirled a gem in his first start of the season Tuesday, holding the Mariners scoreless for eight innings en route to a victory.
Wilson, who walked one and struck out two in the contest, looked like a new man on the mound Tuesday, as he was able to get through eight frames with just 96 pitches, throwing 63 of them for strikes. Wilson was hurt by the free pass last season, allowing 85 walks in 175.2 innings, but if the 33-year-old is focusing on pounding the zone and being more efficient, he could be worth monitoring going forward.
