Here are today’s minor moves from throughout the game.
- Rays lefty Everett Teaford has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo tweets. The Rays designated Teaford for assignment on Wednesday. He’s spent most of this season in the rotation with Durham, where he’s posted a 5.56 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 68 innings.
- The Rockies have selected the contract of lefty Aaron Laffey, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post tweets. They’ve also added righty Gonzalez Germen to their active roster, placed righty David Hale (groin strain) on the 15-day DL, optioned righty Scott Oberg, and moved minor league lefty Tyler Anderson (elbow) to the 60-day DL. The 30-year-old Laffey has played parts of seven big-league seasons with the Indians, Mariners, Yankees, Blue Jays and Mets, but he hadn’t appeared in a big-league game since 2013 before appearing with the Rockies tonight. He’s spent this season with Triple-A Albuquerque, posting a 4.91 ERA, 6.2 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 47 2/3 innings split between the rotation and the bullpen.
This really should be included.. m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/135935162/yankees-r…
I feel bad for Gonzalez German.. Bounced around all over the place in the off season and finally landed with Chicago.. Only to be DFA’d and picked up by Colorado a few months later.. He has pretty decent stuff but from watching him last year it seems that he lacks confidence.. I doubt he will get any pitching in Coors Field.. I would have liked to have seen a team like Oakland or Dan Diego grab him.. Moving to a pitchers park would have helped restore some of that confidence..
He started tonight for Colorado, looked good
