Rest of Season
Misses out on roster spot
The Padres reassigned Wendelken to minor-league camp Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Wendelken had made 144 big-league appearances over stops with the Athletics and Diamondbacks from 2016 through 2022 before heading overseas and spending the last two seasons in Japan with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. The 31-year-old right-hander returned stateside and inked a minor-league deal with the Padres over the winter, and after giving up five earned runs in 1.2 innings over his two Cactus League appearances, he was unable to win a spot in San Diego's Opening Day bullpen. Unless the Padres allow him to enter free agency, Wendelken will likely begin the upcoming season at Triple-A El Paso.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Wendelken's performance took a dip with Oakland last season and he was designated for assignment in mid-August. However, Arizona recognized his solid body of work since 2018 and claimed him off waivers. The 28-year-old earned two wins, four holds and the first two saves of his career across 20 appearances with the Diamondbacks, but he wasn't overly impressive, posting a 4.34 ERA, 6.3 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 across 18.2 innings. Despite a subpar 2021, he remains one of the most experienced relievers in Arizona's bullpen after the team signed veteran Mark Melancon for their closer role. Wendelken could pick up a save chance or two when Melancon is unavailable, but he's more likely to be an asset for holds after posting an ERA under the 3.60 mark in three straight campaigns between 2018 and 2020.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Taking over as closer?
Wendelken recorded his second save of the year Thursday and could be taking over the closer role from veteran Tyler Clippard in the season's final weeks.
ANALYSIS
Clippard struggled Wednesday, allowing three runs in an inning of work, and the Diamondbacks turned to Wendelken for their next save opportunity. With the team sitting at 49-104, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 28-year-old Wendelken continue to see work over the 36-year-old Clippard.
