Top Chih-Wei Hu News

  • Padres' Chih-Wei Hu: Agrees to deal with Padres

    Hu signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Thursday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    The right-hander spent all of 2019 in the minors, where he posted a 7.74 ERA with a 45:24 K:BB over 54.2 innings. Despite his struggles, he'll get a chance to bounce back within the Padres' organization. Given Hu's past experience in the majors, he will likely appear in major-league spring training as a non-roster invitee.

  • Cubs' Chih-Wei Hu: Signs with Cubs

    Hu signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Thursday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

    Hu struggled to a 7.18 ERA across 57.2 innings with Double-A Akron and Triple-A Columbus before being cut loose by the Indians at the end of July. The righty does own a 3.52 ERA across 23 career big-league innings.

  • Chih-Wei Hu: Cut loose by Cleveland

    Hu was released by Cleveland on Tuesday.

    Hu owns a 7.18 ERA in 57.2 innings across the two highest levels of the minors this season, striking out just 19.3 percent of opposing batters. He could still generate some interest as a free agent thanks to his 3.52 ERA in 23 career big-league innings.

  • Indians' Chih-Wei Hu: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Hu was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Hu was booted from the 40-man roster Wednesday and went unclaimed while on the waiver wire, which is unsurprising considering his 7.95 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 48.2 innings at Triple-A this season.

  • Indians' Chih-Wei Hu: Designated for assignment

    Hu was designated for assignment by Cleveland on Wednesday.

    Hu was removed from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for Andrew Velazquez (undisclosed), who was acquired in a trade from Tampa Bay in a corresponding move. Hu owns a very poor 7.95 ERA in 48.2 innings for Triple-A Columbus this season, though his 3.52 ERA in 23 career major-league innings could make him worth a look on waivers.

  • Indians' Chih-Wei Hu: Returns from injury

    Hu (hip) returned from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

    Hu missed just over two weeks with right hip flexor tightness. He owns a poor 6.54 ERA in 42.2 innings for Columbus this season.

  • Indians' Chih-Wei Hu: Heads to injured list

    Hu was placed on the 7-day injured list Thursday due to right hip flexor tightness, Tribeinsider reports.

    It's unclear as to when Hu's injury cropped up, but he'll head to the shelf for at least a week while on the mend. He's accrued a 6.54 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 34:16 K:BB over 42.2 innings this season for Triple-A Columbus.

  • Indians' Chih-Wei Hu: Returns to Triple-A

    Hu was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    Hu was acquired by the Indians from the Rays in November but didn't showcase himself well in spring training with 12 runs allowed on 13 hits over four innings. The 25-year-old appeared in 11 games with the Rays over the last two seasons as he spent the bulk of his time at Triple-A Durham.

  • Indians' Chih-Wei Hu: Dealt to Cleveland

    Hu was traded to the Indians from the Rays in exchange for infielder Gionti Turner on Monday.

    The 25-year-old spent much of the season with the Rays' Triple-A affiliate, producing a 4.66 ERA and a 92:28 K:BB in 102 innings split between 19 starts and five relief appearances. He also has 23 innings of major-league experience under his belt from the past two seasons, allowing nine runs with a 21:7 K:BB in that span. Hu figures to be in the mix for a bullpen spot with his new club, though he does have an option remaining if Cleveland bolsters its bullpen more with veteran arms.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Set for promotion Thursday

    Hu will be recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

    Hu has appeared in just three games for the Rays this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 0.80 WHIP with nine strikeouts in 10 innings of relief. Look for him to serve in low-leverage spots upon his arrival prior to the series opener in Toronto.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Sent back to minors

    The Rays optioned Hu to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    A corresponding transaction hasn't been announced, but it's expected that Hu's spot on the active roster will be filled by Jonny Venters (hamstring), who is on track to return from the 10-day disabled list. Hu's latest stint with the Rays lasted just two days, with the right-hander making a relief appearance in Tuesday's 4-0 loss. He gave up a run on two hits and struck out four over 2.1 innings in the outing.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Called up from Durham

    Hu was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

    In a corresponding move, the Rays placed Blake Snell (shoulder) on the disabled list. There's a chance Hu will take Snell's place in the rotation for Tuesday's start against the Yankees, but that should be determined in the coming hours. Across two long-relief appearances with the club this year, Hu has logged a 5.87 ERA and 0.78 WHIP in 7.2 innings. He recently allowed five earned runs off eight hits during a four-inning start with Durham last Tuesday.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Sent back to Triple-A

    Hu was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

    Hu was up for just two days, allowing a pair of runs in five innings Thursday against the Twins. A corresponding move has not yet been announced.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Promoted to big leagues

    Hu was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Hu has struggled to a 4.66 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with a 55:23 K:BB over 67.2 innings for the Bulls, but he'll be added to Tampa Bay's bullpen for its upcoming series with the Twins. The 24-year-old right-hander will take the place of Willy Adames on the 25-man roster.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Returns to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Hu to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Hu did not make an appearance since being recalled Sunday, and allowed three runs on three hits with two strikeouts and a walk over 2.2 innings during his only outing for the Rays earlier this season.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Summoned from minors

    The Rays recalled Hu from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Hu will give the Rays some length out of the bullpen with long reliever Matt Andriese set to make a spot start Sunday but expected to be capped at around three or four innings. The 24-year-old Hu has been serving in a starting role at Triple-A this season, posting a 4.15 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 13 frames. Hu previously made a long-relief appearance for the big club April 16 against the Rangers, surrendering three runs on three hits and a walk over 2.2 innings.

  • Rays' Chih-Wei Hu: Likely to be called up

    Hu was scratched from his scheduled start at Triple-A Durham on Saturday in anticipation of a likely promotion to the Rays on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Hu is needed at the big-league level in order to help offset the adverse effects of Yonny Chirinos' brief outing Saturday, which caused manager Kevin Cash to alter his short-term rotation plans. The Rays skipper turned to Ryan Yarbrough, who'd been scheduled to start Sunday's game, and the young right-hander ended up working four innings in Saturday's contest. Matt Andriese is now slated to open Sunday's game, and Hu will serve as an extra arm in what is slated to officially be a "bullpen day." The 24-year-old right-hander has made one appearance at the major-league level this season, allowing three earned runs on three hits and a walk over 2.2 innings against the Rangers on April 16.
