Joey Wentz Activated by Pirates
The Pirates activated Wentz on Thursday after he was claimed off waivers Tuesday from the Tigers.
Analysis: Wentz was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Friday, but finds himself back on an active roster Thursday. In his last seven appearances, he has pitched 10.1 innings and had shutout outings in all but one of them. The one blemish in the stretch was when he gave up four earned in one inning against the Cubs on Aug. 22. To make room for Wentz on the active roster, Domingo German was designated for assignment Thursday.
Joey Wentz Claimed by Pittsburgh
The Pirates claimed Wentz off waivers from the Tigers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Wentz was used as a full-time reliever this season for the first time, holding a 5.37 ERA and 60:27 K:BB over 55.1 innings. The left-hander is under team control through 2029 and is still just 26, so the Pirates thought he was worth a shot. Wentz is out of minor-league options, so he will report directly to the major-league club.
