Heads to bench Monday Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wade will give way to the righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for Colorado. Wade had started in three of the previous four games and continues to see the majority of the time at the hot corner while Manny Machado remains limited to designated-hitter duties following his offseason elbow surgery.

Out of starting lineup Wade will not start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Gaining traction at hot corner Wade will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Wade had been part of a messy three-man timeshare at third base during the first full week of the regular season, but he seems to have moved into a larger side of the platoon with Eguy Rosario at the position after the Padres cleared up the logjam by optioning Graham Pauley to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. The 29-year-old will garner his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and a stolen base over the previous four contests. Both Wade and Rosario will lose out on opportunities at the hot corner once Manny Machado -- who has been limited to designated-hitter duties thus far -- completes his throwing program as he works his way back from October surgery to repair a tendon in his right elbow.

Sitting vs. lefty Friday Wade is not in the Padres' lineup Friday against the Giants.

Impact With the Giants starting left-hander Kyle Harrison on Friday, Eguy Rosario will draw the start at third base and bat eighth. Wade was the third baseman Thursday and went 1-for-3 with one run, one RBI and one strikeout.

Makes Opening Day roster The Padres selected Wade from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact After signing a minor-league contract with the Padres in November, Wade will officially join the big-league club ahead of San Diego's opening series in South Korea against the Dodgers. Wade slashed .294/.351/.471 across 37 spring plate appearances and gives the Padres another option at third base with Manny Machado (elbow) limited to a DH role at the moment.

Sticks in organization Wade cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Impact The veteran infielder was designated for assignment by Oakland on Thursday but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. Wade struggled to a .623 OPS in 55 plate appearances during his time in the big leagues this year.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Wade was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact Wade only spent a couple of days in the majors this time around and did not see the field. The 28-year-old utilityman is a career .217/.293/.300 hitter at baseball's highest level.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Selected from Triple-A The Athletics selected Wade's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Wade was sent outright to Las Vegas in mid-July, but he'll return to Oakland after slashing .297/.366/.405 over 10 games since his demotion. He'll take the place of Manny Pina, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cast off 40-man Wade was outrighted off Oakland's 40-man roster on Friday.

Impact He is essentially being replaced by Zack Gelof, who is getting the call from Triple-A Las Vegas along with Tyler Soderstrom on Friday. Wade hit .255 with zero home runs and four steals in 55 plate appearances and was worth 0.2 fWAR in his part-time role that included seeing time at four different positions.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wade will cede shortstop duties to the righty-hitting Nick Allen for the second game in a row with Detroit bringing another southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the bump. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 17, Wade appears to have settled in as Oakland's primary shortstop versus right-handed pitching. He's slashing .393/.393/.500 in 28 at-bats since his call-up, but Wade hasn't provided any home runs or stolen bases during that stretch.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Laces triple in win Wade went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

Impact Wade laced his first three-bagger at the big-league level since 2021 in the third inning and subsequently crossed the plate with the Athletics' first run of the game on Esteury Ruiz's single. The 28-year-old has now hit safely in five of the last six games, and with Kevin Smith going in for a second opinion on the back injury that he currently has no return timetable for, Wade's roster spot appears secure for the time being.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-hit effort in loss Wade went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Impact Wade hit safely for the third time in his last four starts while producing his first multi-hit effort and RBI of the season at the big-league level. The 28-year-old has been a positive addition offensively since his June 17 call-up, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with a double, Saturday's RBI and one run. With Kevin Smith on the injured list due to a back strain that could potentially keep him out beyond 10 days, Wade, who can play second base, third base and across the outfield, is making an early case to potentially hold on to a roster spot even when he returns.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles, scores in loss Wade went 1-for-2 with a double and a run in a loss to the Guardians on Wednesday.

Impact Making his second straight start at shortstop, Wade hit safely for the second consecutive game while collecting his first extra-base hit in 13 big-league appearances this season. The well-traveled veteran is slated to remain with the Athletics through Kevin Smith's (back) stint on the injured list, at minimum.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected by Athletics Wade's contract was selected by Oakland on Saturday.

Impact Wade is up to replace Kevin Smith, who landed on the injured list with a strained back. Wade had appeared in 10 MLB games this season, stealing four bases despite striking out in eight of his 16 plate appearances. A career .211/.290/.293 across parts of seven seasons, he's unlikely to carve out a regular role even on a team like the Athletics.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to minors The Athletics outrighted Wade to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact He'll remain in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment over the weekend. During his two-week stint in the big leagues, Wade contributed four stolen bases but went just 1-for-13 at the plate.
