Oakland Athletics left-handed pitcher Wei-Chung Wang had his contract purchased from Triple-A Las Vegas over the weekend. He was limited during Cactus League spring training play due to injury, but he showed well in the minors with a 3.75 ERA in 16 relief appearances. "Looks like he could get some lefties and righties and give you multiple innings," manager Bob Melvin said. "He's pitched two or three innings down there. Gives us a little more distance in the bullpen than it was up until yesterday." Wang will take the roster and bullpen spot of Fernando Rodney, who was DFA's over the weekend. No fantasy value here, but Wang is one to watch.
The Oakland Athletics signed relief pitcher Wei-Chung Wang to a minor-league contract on Wednesday. He has made 22 appearances in the majors, last working with the Milwaukee Brewers during the 2017 campaign. The southpaw spent last season pitching out of the bullpen for the NC Dinos in the KBO League in South Korea, posting a 7-10 record with a 4.26 ERA across 141 2/3 innings across 25 starts, striking out 108 batters with a 1.48 WHIP. In his career in the majors, he was working out of the bullpen with ugly results, turning in a 11.09 ERA over 18 2/3 innings, so he isn't someone to target for fantasy purposes in 2019.
