The New York Yankees announced on Friday that minor league infielder/outfielder Zach Wilson has been released from his contract.

Wilson, 24, is an Arizona State product who was a 21st round draft choice from 2011. He reached Double-A for the first time in 2014, producing a .216/.284/.340 batting line in 28 games. In 237 career minor league games, Wilson hit .249/.313/.386 with 18 home runs.

Also released by the team was Australian outfielder Adam Silva, who played in just 10 games between two minor league seasons. It is likely that more releases will come to clear roster space before minor league seasons open next week.
