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.
