The Oakland A’s activated Joey Wendle from the 10-day disabled list and then optioned him to Triple-A Nashville, the team announced Saturday. The second baseman opened the year on the DL due to a strained shoulder, after playing in only seven spring training games.
Wendle had spent the last week on a rehab assignment in Nashville, so this move doesn’t actually change anything in the present day — he was already playing for the Sounds, and now he will continue doing so. He’s hit safely in five of his six games so far, including a 5-for-8 mark over his last two outings (three of them for extra bases).
