Let go by Baltimore
The Orioles released Wilkerson on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilkerson has spent his entire career in the Baltimore organization since being selected in the eighth round of the 2014 first-year player draft, but the 29-year-old utility man looks poised to explore opportunities elsewhere following his release. Baltimore had already made it clear Wilkerson wasn't part of its long-term plans when he was designated for assignment in late June, and he wasn't on track to earn a call-up anytime soon after posting a .581 OPS in 24 games at Triple-A Norfolk following his removal from the 40-man roster.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Wilkerson received 361 plate appearances last season, a number he likely wouldn't have reached for many other teams. His .225/.286/.383 slash line best suits a fifth outfielder, if it's even deserving of a roster spot. That line is theoretically made more palatable by the fact that Wilkerson spent the majority of his time in center field, but both DRS and UZR agree that he probably shouldn't have done so. The Orioles remain far from a good ballclub, so it's possible Wilkerson earns a similar role this season. It's equally likely that they consider 2019 to be a failed audition for the outfielder and move on to similarly fringy alternatives. Heading into his age-28 season, a breakout for Wilkerson is hard to envision, so both his floor and his ceiling are too low for him to interest most fantasy owners.
