Diamondbacks' Kolten Wong: Latches on with D-backs
Kolten Wong signed a minor-league contract with the Arizona 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.

Kolten Wong: Parts ways with Baltimore
Kolten 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.

Orioles' Kolten Wong: Prompts opt-out decision
Kolten Wong exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract Friday, giving the Baltimore Orioles two days to either release him or add him to the big-league roster, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.The veteran second baseman didn't appear likely to crack Baltimore's Opening Day roster after signing as a non-roster invitee in February, but he's apparently still in the mix after the club reassigned top prospect Jackson Holliday to minor-league camp Friday. Wong didn't exactly put his best foot forward during spring training and had a .587 OPS in 31 plate appearances, which is only marginally better than last season's .183/.256/.263 slash line.

Dodgers' Kolten Wong: Swipes two bags Saturday
Kolten Wong went 1-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Nationals.The second baseman nearly played hero for the Los Angeles Dodgers, singling home James Outman in the top of the ninth inning to tie the game at 5-5 and then swiping second and third, only to be stranded when Will Smith grounded out. It was only Wong's second start since being picked up by Los Angeles, but he's appeared in four other September games as a pinch hitter and late-inning defensive replacement, going 2-for-11 overall with a homer, four RBI and Saturday's two steals.

Dodgers' Kolten Wong: Homers in first game with new team
Kolten Wong hit a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.The second baseman pinch hit for Freddie Freeman in the eighth inning, and Wong got his Los Angeles Dodgers career started with a bang. Prior to signing a minor-league deal in August, Wong mustered an abysmal .468 OPS with the Mariners over 67 games. With Los Angeles, he figures to be little more than a part-time player, though his solid defensive reputation may lead to him coming off the bench as a late-game replacement more often than not.
