Weems has been added to the roster for the ALDS against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics altered their roster construction slightly ahead of the series, adding a reliever in Weems while removing reserve infielder Vimael Machin, who did not make an appearance during the AL Wild Card Round. Weems isn't one of Oakland's higher-leverage options, though he did look good in his 14-inning debut this season, posting a 3.21 ERA and a 31.0 percent strikeout rate.
