Wilber, who hit .276 in 152 at-bats for the Pioneer League's Mustangs Billings, was traded to the Frontier League's Trois-Rivieres Aigles.
Wilber wasted little time making an impression for Trois-Rivieres, going 2-for-3, driving in two runs and drawing a walk in his debut on July 26 against the Empire State Greys.
This marks Wilber's return to the Frontier League. He played 21 games for the Washington Wild Things in 2022.
Wilber shined in college at Southeast Missouri State, earning All-Ohio Valley Conference honors after seasons hitting .378 with six home runs and 49 RBIs in 2021, and .331 with 18 homers and 74 RBIs in 2022.
