Outrighted to Triple-A The Diamondbacks outrighted Weems to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Impact 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.

Demoted to minors The Diamondbacks optioned Weems to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Officially added to 26-man roster Weems was added to the Diamondbacks' 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact 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.

Claimed by Diamondbacks Weems was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Monday.

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.

Reymin Guduan will remain in the bullpen after he was activated from the injured list as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader.

APRIL 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled Tuesday Weems was recalled from Oakland's alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact 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.

APRIL 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Weems was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Lands on injured list Weems was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right lat, retroactive to Aug. 1.

Impact 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.
