Career
Wendelken was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 13th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft out of Middle Georgia College. On July 30, 2013, he was acquired by the Chicago White Sox in a trade that had Wendelken, Avisail García, Frankie Montas, and Cleuluis Rondon going to the White Sox, Jake Peavy and Brayan Villarreal going to the Red Sox, and José Iglesias going to the Detroit Tigers.[1] The White Sox added him to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season.[2]
On December 9, 2015, Wendelken was traded to the Oakland Athletics, along with Zachary Erwin, for infielder Brett Lawrie.[3] He was assigned to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds to begin the 2016 season. On May 8, 2016, he was recalled by the Athletics and made his major league debut that night.[4]
