The Pacific Coast League's transactions page gives us the update on three recently-designated players.
- Rays reliever Mike Ekstrom has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A according to the transactions page on the team's official site. Ekstrom was designated for assignment three days ago.
- Red Sox catcher Mark Wagner cleared waivers and was assigned to extended Spring Training, according to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. The Red Sox designated him for assignment on March 29th.
- Travis Ishikawa cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A, the Giants announced (on Twitter).
- The Dodgers outrighted pitchers Jon Link and John Lindsey to the Albuquerque Isotopes. They'd been designated for assignment in late March.
- Catcher Lucas May, designated for assignment by the Royals on March 30th, cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Omaha Storm Chasers.
John Lindsey plays 1B; he’s not a pitcher.
No? I thought he was the former mayor of New York City.
And six hours and another addition later, he’s still listed as a pitcher.
I’m a little surprised the Red Sox would let a catcher pass through waivers, but then again, Lucas May is certainly no difference maker.
Wow. Ishikawa cleared waivers. Doesn’t help his confidence much I would imagine.
This surprises me. Ishikawa isn’t horrible, I figured someone was gonna pick him up even if just for a lefty bat on the bench and defensive sub
Comes as no surprise. Giants fans were saying that he was bound to be claimed but it never seemed very likely to me.
I like how Buster Posey is still the wallpaper on the Fresno Grizzlies home page. At least they could have gone with Belt, he ended last year with them.
