Impact He'll join the big-league bullpen as a replacement for J.B. Wendelken (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Over the past two seasons, Weems has made 12 relief appearances for the Athletics, posting a 3.31 ERA and 21:8 K:BB in 16.1 innings.

Optioned to alternate camp Weems was optioned to the Athletics' alternate training site Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Weems spent two weeks with the major-league club and made three relief appearances for the Athletics. During that time, he allowed one run on a hit and one walk while striking out three in 2.1 innings. Reymin Guduan will remain in the bullpen after he was activated from the injured list as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader.

Recalled Tuesday Weems was recalled from Oakland's alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact Burch Smith (groin) and Reymin Guduan (thumb) landed on the injured list, so Weems will provide some much-needed bullpen depth in the short term. Weems will likely be up and down between the majors and the minors for most of the season.

Sent to Triple-A Weems was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact The 28-year-old appeared in nine games for the A's last season and had a 3.21 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB over 14 innings, but he'll open 2021 in the minors. Weems should receive a promotion at some point this season as Oakland shuffles its bullpen pieces.

Mows through Rangers in relief Weems fired three perfect innings in relief during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers, recording five strikeouts.

Impact As his line implies, Weems was thoroughly dominant, and he recorded his nine outs on an efficient 38 pitches. Performances the caliber of Saturday's are becoming par for the course for the 27-year-old, who's now posted four straight scoreless appearances (seven innings) after surrendering two earned runs to the Rockies in his season debut back on July 28.

Lands on injured list Weems was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right lat, retroactive to Aug. 1.

Impact Weems was effective in two relief innings Friday, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two. However, he apparently suffered an injury around that time that will sideline him for several games. Right-hander James Kaprielian was promoted to the 30-man roster to take Weems' place. A timetable for Weems' return hasn't been announced.

Works three innings in debut Weems allowed two earned runs on four hits over three innings while recording three strikeouts in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact The converted backstop made his major-league debut, which came after a position switch four years ago and 10 separate minor-league stints spanning seven different seasons.

The hard-throwing right-hander threw 33 pitches overall and was also able to feature his changeup, slider and curve alongside the high-90s fastball.
