The Oakland A’s spate of injuries gave Frank Schwindel another chance at the majors. With Mitch Moreland on the Injured List, Schwindel was given more of a look at the major league level. While he did show some pop, he was still considered expendable, having been designated for assignment when Moreland returned.
On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs swooped in, claiming Schwindel on waivers.
