Oakland A’s prospect Renato Nunez was claimed off waivers by the Texas Rangers on Sunday, the A’s announced.
Nunez entered the 2018 season on the bubble for a roster spot. He’s out of minor league options so he needed to pass through waivers in order to be sent down to Triple-A, but the need to make that decision got delayed when he opened the season on the 10-day disabled list. He recently returned to action in the minors on a rehab assignment, but it looks like he’ll continue that recovery in a new organization.
In terms of skill set, Nunez brings a ton of power but not much else.
