Cubs Option Yoervis Medina

By Zach Links | August 3, 2015 at 9:10am CDT

AUG. 3: The transactions page has been updated to reflect that Medina was not designated for assignment but instead optioned to Triple-A. MLBTR has confirmed that Medina was optioned and remains on the Cubs’ 40-man roster.

AUG. 2: The Cubs have designated pitcher Yoervis Medina for assignment, according to the MLB.com transactions page.  Medina, who turned 27 last week, came to the Cubs in the May deal sending Welington Castillo to the Mariners.

The right-hander has tossed a combined 21 innings for the Cubs and Mariners this season, adding up to a 4.71 ERA with 6.9 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9 in a small sample size.  In 20 Triple-A appearances, the hurler has posted a skyhigh 7.03 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9.  Medina struggled in Triple-A Iowa and, at this time, doesn’t seem like a candidate to receive tremendous outside interest.

Earlier today, the Cubs also designated Taylor Teagarden for assignment.  To keep up with all of the players in DFA limbo, check out the MLBTR DFA Tracker.

    Meanwhile, Castillo is absolutely crushing it for the Diamondbacks. Think this one might be chalked up as Theo and Hoyer’s first big blunder.

      Yep, and saw this coming a mile away. Welly has always had offensive potential, Theo just couldnt stand the defense and pitch framing.

      I love Ross’s defense as a backup, but his bat is just not worth a MLB roster spot.

      Shouldnt have signed Ross, offensively-challenged Cubs couldve really used Montero and Castillo as a potent offensive platoon behind the plate. Sign Ross as a coach…

      Definitely not their first. There was the Edwin Jackson signing and the Ian Stewart deal.

        And it won’t be their last. But when your biggest mistakes are:

        — signing a pitcher to a $52 mil contract in today’s market

        –trading away an offensive minded catcher when you have Schwarber waiting in the wings and

        –trading away a guy whose stats are mostly a product of Coors Field

        Then I think you’ve done something right b

    I can understand independent sports websites making honest mistakes when they draw their information second hand. They’re only as good as their sources. But how does MLB dot com screw that up? Aren’t they getting their information directly from the main offices of Major League Baseball?
