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.
