Paul Wilson

I'm heading to Dayton on Thursday to cover Paul Wilson's rehab start for MLB.com. Dayton plays Peoria at Fifth Third Field at 7 p.m.

Wilson, as you are probably aware, is working his way back after undergoing shoulder surgery in June.

He last pitched on Friday in an extended spring training game at Sarasota and went 7 innings allowing 11 hits, one earned run, 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. He threw 94 pitches, which is an indication that he could be returning sooner than expected.

It's not certain at this point how long Wilson will be in Dayton, or how Eric Milton's injury and Dave Williams' struggles might help expedite the process.

Wilson's performance on Thursday could help clear things up one way or another.

Stay tuned.
