Minor Moves: Mazzaro, Sizemore, Murata, Rogers

By Mark Polishuk | June 28, 2015 at 7:02pm CDT

Here are today’s minor league transactions from around baseball, with the newest moves at the top of the post.  All moves were announced by the teams themselves unless otherwise cited.

  • Vin Mazzaro has elected to become a free agent, according to MLB.com’s official transactions page.  The veteran righty was designated for assignment by the Marlins earlier this week and then outrighted, giving him the option of accepting the assignment or choosing free agency.  Mazzaro has a 3.75 ERA, six strikeouts and six walks over 12 relief innings for Miami this season.
  • The Rays selected the contract of Grady Sizemore prior to today’s game, and the veteran outfielder delivered three hits in his Tampa debut.  Sizemore was released by the Phillies and signed to a minor league deal by the Rays earlier this month.  In corresponding roster moves, righty Matt Andriese was sent to Triple-A and outfielder Desmond Jennings was moved to the 60-day DL.
  • The Indians purchased the contract of right-hander Toru Murata, who is making his MLB debut in a start tonight against the Orioles.  Murata was signed as a free agent out of Japan in 2010 and he owns a 3.88 ERA, 3.01 K/BB rate and 6.8 K/9 over 489 2/3 minor league innings.  In a corresponding move, the Tribe released right-hander Scott Atchison.
  • The Yankees selected the contract of righty Esmil Rogers, who was just outrighted off the roster two weeks ago.  Rogers has a 6.27 ERA over 33 bullpen innings for New York this season, though he has been hamstrung by a .356 BABIP and a very low 56% strand rate.
  • The Pirates selected the contract of utilityman Gorkys Hernandez.  Once a top-100 prospect, Hernandez appeared in 70 MLB games with the Pirates and Marlins in 2012 and hasn’t since been back to the Show.  Hernandez has a .278/.342/.376 slash line, 33 homers and 213 steals (out of 285 chances) over 4055 career minor league plate appearances.
  • The Braves selected the contract of right-hander Ryan Kelly, who is getting his first taste of the majors after nine pro seasons.  Kelly was a 26th-round draft pick for the Pirates in 2006 and he’s compiled a 3.99 ERA, 3.10 K/BB rate and 8.2 K/9 over 462 2/3 innings (mostly as a reliever).

    Not entirely sure how Gorkys Hernandez is a utility man. He’s only played outfield in his career

      Hey! He played one game at 1B in 2007 and one game at 3B in 2008 – both in the minors. That’s got to count for something. I think his nickname was the ‘Jack-Knife’ back then.

    No one is posting because the new system wrecked the forum IMHO

    Why does Cashman have such an affinity for Esmil Rogers? The guy is downright awful and should just be released.. I was hoping he would have made a move for Volstad when the Pirates designated him.. Its time for them to give some fresh faces a shot because Rogers undoubtedly sucks and is not going to get better..

    I think the Pirates have the pieces to pry Josh Reddick from the A’s. There are a lot of players up for grabs in the next Rule V draft. Unfortunately, you can’t keep them all on the 40-man roster at the end of the season.
