The latest outright assignments from around MLB…
- Padres pitcher Kip Wells cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Tucson, according to U-T San Diego (via Twitter). The Padres designated the right-hander for assignment on Friday. Wells, 35, made seven starts for the Padres this year.
- The Blue Jays outrighted Andrew Carpenter to Triple-A, Las Vegas, according to MLB.com’s transactions page. The Blue Jays had removed Carpenter from their roster to create room for Adeiny Hechavarria and Jesse Chavez over the weekend.
- The Pirates outrighted Drew Sutton to Triple-A Indianapolis, according to MLB.com’s transactions page. Pittsburgh designated Sutton for assignment one week ago on the day of the non-waiver trade deadline.
Happy that Sutton is still in the organization. He was a nice spark the first week or so but regressed afterwards. Still, he was a great guy and genuinely enjoyed his time there, hopefully he will be back up when rosters expand.
That’s the first time Sutton made it through waivers this year, he was claimed the previous 2 or 3 times and has a lot of stickers on his luggage. I’m glad he’s still with the Buccos, and he will probably be first in line for a recall if there are any injury issues.
‘Hey guys, I was pretty good 10 years ago, you should give me a chance!’ Seriously, Kip Wells amazes me
Man, I was sure every contending team needed a Kip Wells.
any other angel fans see the name wells and get really excited only to see it wasnt him?
damn, thought it was vernon wells
Man I saw that headline and thought it meant Vernon Wells. As an Angels fan, I was stoked!
