Cubs signed C Austin Wynns to a minor league contract.

It didn’t take Wynns very long to find a new opportunity after being designated for assignment by the Rangers last week. The 35-year-old journeyman backstop has appeared in 34 games between the Athletics, Braves and Rangers this season. He’s merely emergency organizational depth at this stage of his career.

TEX Catcher #38

Rangers designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

Wynns went 8-for-29 with one homer during a 14-game stint with the Rangers after being brought up last month. The well-traveled 35-year-old loses his roster spot with Danny Jansen back from the injured list. He’s spent time with three different organizations this season and figures to wind up back on the open market after going unclaimed on waivers.

Wynns provides Texas with some emergency catching depth at Triple-A Round Rock behind Kyle Higashioka and Elias Díaz. The well-traveled 35-year-old backstop went 4-for-53 at the dish during a 20-game run with the Braves earlier this season.

Wynns heads out to the open market to see if there’s another club in need of emergency catching depth. The 35-year-old journeyman backstop went 4-for-53 during a 20-game stint with the Braves. He’s merely a temporary stopgap for injury-plagued clubs at this stage of his career.

ATL Catcher #16

Braves sent C Austin Wynns outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Wynns loses his spot on Atlanta’s roster with starting catcher Drake Baldwin back from the injured list. The 35-year-old journeyman went 4-for-53 across 20 games for the Braves after being brought up earlier this month.

ATL Catcher #29

Braves acquired C Austin Wynns from the Angels for cash considerations.

Wynns had been released by the Athletics in the middle of May and then signed a minor league contract with the Angels.

LAA Catcher #29

ATH Catcher #29

Athletics designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

Wynns had to know he was losing his spot when the A’s acquired Jonah Heim, but he stuck around for a few extra days with Shea Langeliers going on the paternity list. Now that Langeliers is back, Wynns is gone. The 35-year-old was off to a 3-for-39 start at the plate this year, giving him a .077/.143/.077 line.
Shea Langeliers

ATH Catcher #23

Athletics placed C Shea Langeliers on the paternity list.

Langeliers launches two homers on his wife’s birthday on Saturday before she gave birth to their first child on Sunday morning. The 28-year-old slugging backstop is going to take some time away from the club to be with his family for the next couple days while Austin Wynns and newly acquired Jonah Heim handle the catching duties.

Justin Foscue went 1-for-2 with a solo home run against the Athletics on Monday.

Foscue’s home run was his 10th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Gage Jump in the fourth inning. Foscue was still pinch hit for once the left-hander Jump was out of the game. His at-bats are limited to facing left-handed pitching, but he’s hit 10 home runs in those limited at-bats. Foscue is much more valuable in his role with the Rangers than he is to fantasy managers.
