Daniel Mengden News
The Kansas City Royals agreed to sign right-hander Daniel Mengden to a minor league deal on Tuesday. In addition to Mengden, the Royals signed former Houston Astros swingman Brad Peacock to a minor league deal on Monday, giving them some rotation depth for the 2022 season. Mengden, 29, had a 3.60 ERA with 104 strikeouts in 120 innings while pitching in Korea last year. In five major league seasons with the Oakland Athletics before that, he had a 4.64 ERA and 1.31 WHIP while striking out 224 and walking 102 in 302 2/3 innings over 60 appearances (48 starts) from 2016-20. In the shortened 2020 campaign, Mengden allowed five earned runs in 12 1/3 innings over four outings (one start) for the A's.
Oakland Athletics pitcher Daniel Mengden was optioned to the team's alternate training site over the weekend and passed through waivers on Tuesday afternoon. The 27-year-old posted a combined 12-8 record with a 4.31 ERA across the 2018 and 2019 seasons, but a positive COVID-19 test derailed his 2020 season. The team had no room for Mengden on their roster, but the assumption is that another club will take a chance on him during the offseason. He has shown flashes of effectiveness at the MLB level.
Oakland Athletics right-handed pitcher Daniel Mengden was placed on the injured list Thursday due to a positive COVID-19 test, which paves the way for left-handed pitcher Mike Minor to join the active roster. Mengden has been utilized primarily as a long reliever this season after making one start in July; all told, he has produced a 3.65 ERA across 12 frames with 10 strikeouts to his credit. Spots on the As staff are presumably up for grabs with Minor entering the fray, while No. 3 prospect A.J. Puk nears a return within the next week. Mengden holds little season-long fantasy intrigue at this stage, with Oakland set to return to play Friday.
