According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, Wilson made his decision on Sunday. He will be replaced on the American League roster by right-hander Jake Peavy of the Chicago White Sox, who is definitely having a brilliant season on the South Side.
Wilson finished the first half with a 9-5 record and a 2.43 ERA. The Angels will still be represented by Jered Weaver, Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo.
