| Jun 24 2025 | The Astros selected Weems' contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems was just signed to a minor-league deal earlier this month and receives a promotion after allowing five runs with a 10:6 K:BB over 11.1 innings with Sugar Land. He'll likely operate in low-leverage situations. |
|
| Aug 12 2021 | The Diamondbacks outrighted Weems to Triple-A Reno on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems will stay in the organization after none of MLB's other 29 teams put in a claim for the right-handed reliever when he was exposed to waivers earlier in the week. The 28-year-old has appeared in seven games between Oakland and Arizona this season, giving up 10 earned runs on six hits and six walks across 5.2 innings. |
|
| Jul 11 2021 | The Diamondbacks optioned Weems to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems was one of several Arizona pitchers battered in Saturday's 22-1 loss to the Dodgers, as he retired just one batter while allowing five runs on three hits and two walks. The reliever gave up two runs in an inning over his other appearance with Arizona following his July 6 call-up, so he didn't make a compelling case to stick around on the 26-man active roster. |
|
| Jul 6 2021 | Weems was added to the Diamondbacks' 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems was claimed off waivers from Oakland on Monday and now he'll join Arizona's big-league roster as expected. The right-hander allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks across 4.1 major-league innings before being DFA'd by the A's on Saturday. |
|
| Jul 5 2021 | Weems was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Saturday, and he should join the Diamondbacks' major-league bullpen after left-hander Ryan Buchter was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Weems had been with Triple-A Las Vegas since mid-May, and he posted a 7.36 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 14.2 innings across 15 relief appearances. |
|
| May 30 2021 | Weems was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems was promoted Friday but will head back to Triple-A without making an appearance in the majors. Jesus Luzardo (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. |
|
| May 28 2021 | Weems was recalled by the Athletics on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems has spent two previous stints on the major-league roster this season, allowing three runs in 4.1 innings across five relief appearances. Reymin Guduan (groin) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move. |
|
| May 12 2021 | Weems was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems made two relief appearances during his most recent stint in the majors and allowed two runs on a hit and two walks while striking out one in two innings. The right-hander will now return to the minors after James Kaprielian was called up ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday. |
|
| May 2 2021 | The Athletics recalled Weems from their alternate training site Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll join the big-league bullpen as a replacement for J.B. Wendelken (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Over the past two seasons, Weems has made 12 relief appearances for the Athletics, posting a 3.31 ERA and 21:8 K:BB in 16.1 innings. |
|
| Apr 21 2021 | Weems was optioned to the Athletics' alternate training site Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems spent two weeks with the major-league club and made three relief appearances for the Athletics. During that time, he allowed one run on a hit and one walk while striking out three in 2.1 innings. Reymin Guduan will remain in the bullpen after he was activated from the injured list as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader. |
|
| Apr 6 2021 | Weems was recalled from Oakland's alternate training site Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Burch Smith (groin) and Reymin Guduan (thumb) landed on the injured list, so Weems will provide some much-needed bullpen depth in the short term. Weems will likely be up and down between the majors and the minors for most of the season. |
|
| Mar 21 2021 | Weems was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old appeared in nine games for the A's last season and had a 3.21 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB over 14 innings, but he'll open 2021 in the minors. Weems should receive a promotion at some point this season as Oakland shuffles its bullpen pieces. |
|
| Oct 5 2020 | Weems has been added to the roster for the ALDS against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Sep 13 2020 | Weems fired three perfect innings in relief during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers, recording five strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As his line implies, Weems was thoroughly dominant, and he recorded his nine outs on an efficient 38 pitches. Performances the caliber of Saturday's are becoming par for the course for the 27-year-old, who's now posted four straight scoreless appearances (seven innings) after surrendering two earned runs to the Rockies in his season debut back on July 28. |
|
| Aug 24 2020 | Weems was recalled from the Athletics' alternate training site Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems spent some time at alternate camp after returning from the injured list Aug. 14, but he'll return to the major-league bullpen. He'll take the place of right-hander Paul Blackburn, who was optioned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move. Weems made two relief appearances at the end of July, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over five innings. |
|
| Aug 10 2020 | Weems (lat) is getting closer to throwing to hitters at the Athletics' alternate training site in San Jose, the Associated Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems went on the injured list Tuesday, but he's apparently making steady progress. Manager Bob Melvin confirmed as much Sunday, saying "I know everything's progressing well" when asked about the hard-throwing reliever. Weems was an early success story for the Athletics after finally making the majors this season, posting a 3.60 ERA and 5:1 K:BB across five innings over two appearances before his injury. |
|
| Aug 4 2020 | Weems was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right lat, retroactive to Aug. 1. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems was effective in two relief innings Friday, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two. However, he apparently suffered an injury around that time that will sideline him for several games. Right-hander James Kaprielian was promoted to the 30-man roster to take Weems' place. A timetable for Weems' return hasn't been announced. |
|
| Jul 29 2020 | Weems allowed two earned runs on four hits over three innings while recording three strikeouts in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The converted backstop made his major-league debut, which came after a position switch four years ago and 10 separate minor-league stints spanning seven different seasons. Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports Weems hit 97 mph with his fastball on a strikeout of Trevor Story to start his outing, and he was able to impressively settle down after allowing two runs in his first inning of work by retiring the final eight batters he faced. The hard-throwing right-hander threw 33 pitches overall and was also able to feature his changeup, slider and curve alongside the high-90s fastball. |
|
| Jul 19 2020 | Weems was informed Sunday that he'll be on the major-league roster for Opening Day, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weems was reported as a darkhorse candidate to make the roster early in camp, but he impressed enough to be rewarded with a spot in Oakland's bullpen to begin the season. The 27-year-old has had some control issues in the past but has been able to throw a fastball in the high-90s during camp. The right-hander hasn't pitched at the major-league level during his career, and it's a bit unlikely that he'll be used in many high-leverage situations early on. |
|
| Jul 2 2020 | Weems, who is part of the group of players reporting to the Oakland Coliseum portion of the Athletics' summer camp, could carve out a role on the Opening Day roster, Alex Coffey of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old took a circuitous route to the Athletics and pitching in general, considering he was a catcher in the Red Sox organization for seven professional seasons before heading to the mound in 2016. Weems boasts a fastball that typically averages between 94 mph and 97 mph, a blistering power pitch he complements with a slider and changeup. Control has been an issue, but Weems impressed over six Cactus League appearances this spring by hurling six shutout innings and recording seven strikeouts. Factoring in rosters will accommodate 30 players for the first two weeks of the regular season and Weems has been invited to the camp location that will house players with the best chance of making the Opening Day roster, the right-hander seemingly has a chance to garner a spot with an impressive ramp-up period. |
