The Padres signed Wendelken to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Scouting Report
Has the ability to strike plenty of batters out in the minor leagues, and has experience as a closer at lower levels. Owns some deception in his delivery. Does not have ideal size for a big-league pitcher, so he lacks stamina and must prove he can avoid injuries over time. Must keep the ball down in the zone.
Long Range Potential: Decent right-hander.
