Outrighted To Triple-A: O’Sullivan, Wilson, Gorzelanny

By Steve Adams | July 8, 2015 at 4:50pm CDT

Here are today’s outright assignments from around the league…

  • The Phillies announced that right-hander Sean O’Sullivan has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. O’Sullivan was outrighted earlier this week after spending the bulk of the first half in the Phillies’s rotation. The 27-year-old has never enjoyed much success in the Majors, but he’s soaked up 302 1/3 innings with the Royals, Padres, Angels and Phillies from 2009-15, including 71 frames for the Phils in 2015. O’Sullivan worked to a 6.08 ERA this year. That number is clearly unappealing, but he did provide a serviceable 4.79 ERA through his first 10 starts before allowing six runs in each of his final three turns.
  • Infielder Josh Wilson accepted an outright assignment from the Tigers after being DFA earlier this week, writes MLive.com’s Chris Iott. The versatile veteran actually hit quite well in a small sample with Detroit this season but doesn’t have a track record of offensive success. Rather, he’s carved out a career through defensive versatility, as he’s logged significant innings at shortstop, second base and third base in addition to brief cameos in left field and at first base.

Earlier Updates

  • Left-hander Tom Gorzelanny has accepted an outright assignment from the Tigers after clearing waivers, tweets MLB.com’s Jason Beck. Gorzelanny was designated for assignment alongside Joba Chamberlain on Friday and had the right to elect free agency and retain what remained of his $1MM salary. Instead, he’ll work on a sidearm delivery at Triple-A Toledo, according to Beck. The veteran Gorzelanny posted a 6.38 ERA in 24 innings for Detroit this season.

    He’ll be back. The Tigers always bring them back. Hopefully Joba will become a FA because I don’t want him coming back. He can go tag team with Phil Coke.

      Don’t be so hopeful. Chamberlain supposedly turned down a few other teams that offered him more money in order to re-sign with the Tigers. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him accept an outright assignment.

    Somehow, Tom Gorzelanny managed to be better than the pitcher replacing him, Ian Krol.

    Guys like Sean O’Sullivan fascinate me. They walk the line between AAA pay and travel and MLB minimum. Wish one of them, like O’Sullivan, had.writing skills…could be a fascinating read. I know Dirk Hayhurst has written a few books, but he was kind of an also-ran. There’s so much written about minor leagues and star players…but something on these types would be fun to read.
