A’s Fernando Rodney designated for assignment; Wei-Chung Wang called up

Fernando Rodney, at 42 the oldest player in the majors, was designated for assignment by the Oakland A’s on Saturday. Oakland exercised Rodney’s $4.25 million option in October after he made 68 appearances for the Twins and A’s, posting a 3.36 ERA. But he fell out of favor this year and lost his role as a setup man.
