Athletics Recall Eduarniel Nunez
The Athletics right-handed flamethrower Eduarniel Nunez will rejoin the big league roster after being optioned on August 6. The 26-year-old will fill Ben Bowden's (lat) spot in the bullpen. Nunez was acquired at the trade deadline from the San Diego Padres and has put together a nice season in MiLB (across Double-A and Triple-A), with a 2.48 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and a 14.85 K/9. However, during his first stint in the Majors earlier this season, he struggled to the tune of a 9.00 ERA and 2.57 WHIP in six appearances. He will now get another chance to showcase his high upside this time around. For Nunez, it's all about his control. He features a 109 Stuff+ and averages 97.9 mph four-seamer, but has a poor 65 Location+ and a 21.6 percent walk rate. At this time, Nunez can remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
