The Athletics released Wieland on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wieland did not find much success with Triple-A Las Vegas, recording an 8.16 ERA and 2.13 WHIP across 32 innings. The 33-year-old righty could receive another minor-league contract elsewhere, but his poor performance makes it unlikely he reaches the majors anytime soon.

Wieland signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

We have to go all the way back to 2016 for the last big-league action for Wieland, who turns 33 years old this weekend. He pitched in Japan and an independent ball for a few years before appearing in eight games in the minors with the Rays in 2022.

Wieland signed a minor-league contract with Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wieland hasn't pitched at any level since parting ways with the Cubs organization and electing free agency in November, so he'll report to the Rays' spring training facility in Port Charlotte, Fla. to build up his arm. Once he's deemed ready to go, Wieland is expected to settle in the bullpen at Triple-A Durham. The 32-year-old right-hander has previously seen big-league action in parts of four seasons, with his most recent appearance in the majors coming in 2016 with Seattle.

Wieland signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs and was added to the 60-man player pool, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was most recently playing overseas in the KBO and came stateside this year to play independent baseball, where he apparently impressed Cubs scouts. The 30-year-old righty has a 6.32 ERA in 52.2 career MLB innings, mostly as a starter.

Wieland agreed Wednesday with the Kia Tigers of the Korea Baseball Organization on a one-year, $1 million contract, Yoo Jee-ho of the Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wieland, who last appeared in affiliated ball in 2016, has spent the past two seasons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, accruing a 3.80 ERA over 225 innings. The 28-year-old will forgo a potential return to North America and instead stick around in Asia, where he'll earn a heftier payday.

Wieland was traded to the Braves on Wednesday, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports.

EDGE Analysis

The return package for the Mariners has not been announced, but it could simply be in exchange for cash or a player to be named later. Wieland is now on his fifth organization, despite being just 26 years old and having only 52.2 MLB innings under his belt. The Braves' are extremely thin in the rotation due to injuries, so it's possible Wieland could receive a start or two down the stretch, perhaps as soon as Saturday against the Nationals.

Wieland cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wieland was optioned to Triple-A on Friday following the team's activation of Steve Cishek from the DL. He'll now land at Triple-A, while freeing up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Wieland was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This move is unsurprising as it was made subsequently to the team activating Steve Cishek from the 15-day DL. Wieland sports a 5.38 ERA in 103.2 innings pitched in Tacoma this season.

Wieland made his season debut in a spot start Friday versus the A's, allowing six runs on nine hits across five innings. He struck out three and suffered the loss.

EDGE Analysis

Wieland was making a spot start for Ariel Miranda, who pitched in a relief role Tuesday, and he fell victim to a pair of rough innings. He surrendered three runs in the first inning, cruised through four more innings and was then chased from the game after a rally with no outs in the sixth inning resulted in three more. Wieland was not having a stellar season at Triple-A Tacoma before being called up, and Friday's performance should ensure that he is sent right back down.

Wieland was called up by the Mariners on Friday and will get the start against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Wieland has yet to make an appearance in the majors this season, but will take the mound in Oakland on Friday. He has amassed an 11-5 record with Triple-A Tacoma this season, posting a 5.38 ERA with a 1.56 WHIP. Ariel Miranda was scheduled to start Friday, but he made a relief appearance in Tuesday's extra-inning affair, so Wieland will get the nod.
