On April 19, 2019, the Diamondbacks traded Wilson to the Boston Red Sox for Blake Swihart.[5] Wilson started his Red Sox career with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs,[6] and later spent two months with the Class A-Advanced Salem Red Sox before returning to Portland.[7] Overall with three teams during 2019, Wilson appeared in 119 games while batting .269 with 18 home runs and 58 RBIs.[4] After the season, he played in the Arizona Fall League.[8]

The Red Sox added Wilson to their 40-man roster after the 2019 season.[9] He was optioned to Double-A Portland on March 8, 2020,[10] but did not play during the year due to cancellation of the minor league season. He played one game in the Mexican Pacific League during the 2020–21 winter season, but left after a league shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[11] Wilson began the 2021 season in Triple-A with the Worcester Red Sox. On July 30, the day of the trade deadline, Wilson was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for relief pitcher Hansel Robles.[12]

On June 29, 2022, Wilson was selected to the 40-man roster and was promoted to the major leagues to fill in for the injured Taylor Trammell. He made his major league debut the same day as a pinch hitter versus the Baltimore Orioles. On July 4, Wilson collected his first career hit, a single off of Sean Manaea of the San Diego Padres.[15] He was designated for assignment on July 30. On August 1, he was sent outright to Triple-A. On October 14, Wilson elected free agency.
