• Kolten Wong: Released by Arizona

  05/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Diamondbacks released Wong on Monday. It's not clear whether this was the Diamondbacks' decision or an opt-out situation, but either way Wong is now a free agent. The veteran second baseman slashed .271/.339/.383 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 31 games during his time with Triple-A Reno.

• Diamondbacks' Kolten Wong: Latches on with D-backs

  Wong signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports. Wong was cut by the Orioles ahead of Opening Day after batting just .185 during spring training. He'll now attempt to carve out a role for himself with the Diamondbacks, but Wong will likely need to re-establish himself in Triple-A first after slashing .183/.256/.263 in the majors last season.

• Kolten Wong: Parts ways with Baltimore

  03/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wong was granted his release by the Orioles on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. The Orioles had two days to either release Wong or add him to the big-league roster after he exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract Friday, and the club has now made its decision. The veteran second baseman posted a .519 OPS between the Mariners and Dodgers last season and hit .185 during spring training, so he's unlikely to find much in the form of guaranteed big-league opportunities with Opening Day less than a week away.

  02/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Wong agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. The Orioles are already flush with infield depth, but Wong will do his best to convince them he's worthy of a spot on their Opening Day roster. Wong posted an ugly .183/.256/.263 batting line in 87 games between the Mariners and Dodgers last season but did have an .853 OPS at the latter stop.

• Dodgers' Kolten Wong: Makes NLDS roster

  10/07/2023 • By RotoWire

  Wong is listed on the Dodgers' roster for the National League Divisional Series against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Wong has gone 9-for-30 with two homers and eight RBI since being picked up by Los Angeles in August. He likely won't get many starting reps in the postseason behind Mookie Betts, but he's emerged as a solid pinch-hit option off the bench.
