Devin Sweet Claimed Off Waivers By Oakland
1 year agoRelief pitcher Devin Sweet has been claimed off waivers by the Oakland Athletics and optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. The 26-year-old reliever was designated for assignment by Seattle on August 31 to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for Dominic Leone. Sweet appeared in just two games with the M's this season, posting a 9.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 1:1 K/BB ratio but has been more than solid in the minor leagues. Across two levels (Triple-A and Double-A) this season, he owns a 1.71 ERA, 0.976 WHIP, and 54:11 K/BB Ratio over 42 innings of relief. Oakland will likely call him up to the big leagues down the stretch here to give him an opportunity to showcase his stuff.
