Russell Wilson to be in uniform Monday

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Those fans hoping to snap a photo of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in a Texas Rangers uniform will get a shot Monday.

The Rangers announced today that Wilson is expected to work out with the big league squad Monday and will be in uniform for the Cactus League game that afternoon against Cleveland at Surprise Stadium. It's unclear what parts of the workout that Wilson may participate in with the Rangers.

Wilson, who helped lead the Seahawks to the Super Bowl title less than a month ago, was selected by the Rangers in the Rule-5 draft at the Winter Meetings in December. He last played professional baseball in 2011 with the Colorado Rockies organization, hitting .228 with three homers, five doubles, four triples, 15 RBIs and 40 runs scored in 61 games with Class A Asheville.
