Rays Sign Andrew Wantz To Minor-League Deal
According to MLB.com, the Tampa Bay Rays have signed right-handed pitcher Andrew Wantz to a minor-league deal. The 29-year-old spent most of the season with Triple-A before suffering a season-ending elbow injury. Through 23 1/3 innings with Triple-A Salt Lake, Wants posted a 6.17 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Through 118 1/3 career innings in the major leagues, Wantz has posted a 3.88 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. He struck out 126 batters over this stretch while operating primarily out of the bullpen. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training as he could contend for a spot on the Opening Day roster. If he were to make the Rays roster, he would likely be deployed as a middle-relief option out of the bullpen.
