Eligibility
The San Diego Padres have signed infielder Tyler Wade to a minor-league deal.
Fantasy Impact
Wade spent the 2023 season with the Oakland A's split between the big leagues and Triple-A. He hit .255 with four steals and a .623 OPS across 26 games with the A's while hitting .291 with six homers and a healthy 42 stolen bases across 91 games at the Triple-A level.
The Oakland A's have outrighted infielder Tyler Wade to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Fantasy Impact
Wade's demotion was part of a flurry of roster moves made by the A's on Friday as infield prospect Zack Gelof's promotion cost Wade his spot on the roster. The speedy Wade hit .255 without a homer alongside four stolen bases and a .623 OPS across 55 appearances with the A's this season.
A's infielder Tyler Wade is in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
The speedy Wade will appear in just his 13th game with the A's this season while he's struggled mightily at the plate. While he's contributed four steals in 20 trips to the plate, the former Angel and Yankee is hitting just .118 with a 40% K% in that time.
Wade went 0-for-2 with a strikeout but was able to steal his fourth base of the season in the Athletics' 11-10 victory over the Angels on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the steal, Wade's season-long struggles at the plate continued, as he now owns a .083 batting average and a .162 wOBA through nine games played. The 28-year-old infielder will look to turn things around at the plate as the season progresses but does not have a clear path to regular playing time.
Tyler Wade was traded to the New York Yankees Wednesday for a player to be named later.
Fantasy Impact
Wade currently is not on the 40-man roster after being designated for assignment by the Angels earlier this month. He played in 67 games with the Angels slashing .214/.291/.298 with one home run, eight RBIs, and eight stolen bases. Wade will likely report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for now.
