OAKLAND -- The A's added four September callups to the mix Tuesday, bringing in power-hitting prospect Renato Nunez, pitchers Daniel Mengden and Raul Alcantara, and infielder Joey Wendle ahead of their contest against the Angels.
Nunez, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the organization's No. 22 prospect, belted 32 home runs with Triple-A Nashville this year, good for a second-place tie among all Minor League players.
Signed by the A's out of Venezuela as a 16-year-old for $2.2 million in 2010, Nunez was primarily groomed as a third baseman, before adding first base and left field to his now-diversified repertoire.
