Minor MLB Transactions: 9/7/15

By Steve Adams | September 7, 2015 at 10:08pm CDT

Here are today’s minor moves from around the league…

  • Righties Brandon Kintzler and Preston Guilmet were outrighted off of the 40-man roster by the Brewers, the club announced. As Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel explains, the 31-year-old Kintzler has dealt with injuries after serving as a reliable bullpen piece in recent seasons. Over the last two years, he contributed 135 1/3 innings of 2.93 ERA pitching with 5.9 K/9 against 2.1 BB/9. Guilmet, 28, has bounced around quite a bit on the waiver wire and ultimately saw action in four teams’ systems this year. While he struggled in limited big league action, Guilmet worked to a 2.19 ERA with 8.4 K/9 against 2.6 BB/9 in his 49 1/3 Triple-A frames. Milwaukee also selected the contract of catcher Nevin Ashley, who will see his first big league action at 31 years of age after putting up a solid .306/.374/.442 batting line in 381 Triple-A plate appearances this year.
  • Also outrighted today was righty Jake Buchanan of the Astros, per a club announcement. Recently designated for assignment, the 25-year-old Buchanan owns a 4.06 ERA over his 44 1/3 innings with Houston since the start of 2014. He has struck out 5.1 and walked 3.2 batters per nine in that span.
  • The Yankees announced that they have once again selected the contract of left-hander Chris Capuano. This should be the final 40-man transaction of the season for Capuano, whose tumultuous season has seen him jettisoned from the 40-man roster numerous times. Capuano was, in fact, designated for assignment four times within one calendar month from late July through late August, though the DFA roller coaster should be over for him thanks to expanded September rosters. The 37-year-old veteran has struggled with the Yankees in 2015, totaling a 7.71 ERA in 35 innings. He posted a solid 4.25 mark in 65 2/3 innings for the Yankees last season but has seen his control take a step back, among other issues, in 2015. To clear room for Capuano on the 40-man roster, lefty Jacob Lindgren was activated from the minor league DL, recalled to the Majors and placed on the 60-day disabled list.
  • The Giants announced that they’ve transferred Tim Lincecum to the 60-day disabled list to clear a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Brett Bochy, whose contract has been selected from Triple-A. Bochy, 28, has just 3 1/3 innings of big league experience — all of which came in 2014. He’s spent the 2015 campaign at Triple-A, where he’s recorded an impressive 2.95 ERA with 6.7 K/9 against 3.4 BB/9 in 58 innings of relief. He is the son of Giants manager Bruce Bochy.

    I’m not sure whats more confusing, why Capuano keeps staying with the Yankees, or why the Yankees keep bringing him back. That 5.45 ERA in 100 IP with the Yankees can’t be appealing.

      I have a good feeling he stays with the Yankees knowing he could be called up again later on as shown

      He’s stayed with the Yankees because he knows it likely means another MLB opportunity at some point, which he may not have as much luck with elsewhere. The Yankees keep bringing him back because using him in a mop-up role to adsorb innings is better and makes more sense than doing so with a young arm in the system. It’s just sort of worked for both parties.

    How can Kintzler and Guilmet be outrighted to Triple A when they both have been in Triple A for close to a month ( and in Kintzler’s case more then a month ). I think you ment to say that they were outrighted off the 40 man roster ?

      Well, really, the phrase “outrighted to Triple-A” is kind of a shorthand anyway. Regardless whether the player has been in the minors or the majors, they would be outrighted off the 40-man roster and their contract assigned to whatever MiLB club. (Otherwise, players on the 40-man who are playing in the minors are said to be on optional assignment.)

      But that somewhat sloppy phrasing is rather exposed here, as you rightly point out. I’ll edit.

    The Yankees had better have promised Capuano a coaching position when he retires, or a date with Lindsay Lohan……
