PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) Catcher Matt Wieters has been dropped from the U.S. roster for Olympic baseball qualifying that starts Monday.
“He’ll be on our radar if we do get the opportunity to move forward,” U.S. manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday.
Wieters, a 35-year-old four-time All-Star, hit .200 (7 for 35) with no homers and four RBIs for the St. Louis Cardinals during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and became a free agent.
Cutting Wieters left Tim Federowicz and Mark Kolozsvary as the catchers on the 26-man U.S. roster.
Anthony Carter, a 35-year-old left-hander with the Mexican club Saraperos de Saltillo, was added to the U.S. roster Sunday. Kansas City’s 24-year right-hander Jonathan Bowlan was dropped, three days after the Royals said he needs Tommy John surgery.
