Minor MLB Transactions: 8/3/17

By Steve Adams | August 3, 2017 at 4:41pm CDT

Here are Thursday’s minor moves from around the game…

  • Per an announcement from the Indians, righty Perci Garner has been released after clearing waivers. Garner was designated for assignment recently. The 28-year-old cracked the majors briefly last year and showed well in the minors, but he has missed a lot of time in 2017 for injury reasons that remain less than clear. When he has pitched, his control issues have resurfaced. Through 14 1/3 Double-A frames, Garner permitted nine walks but also rang up 18 strikeouts while allowing five runs on only seven hits. But he managed to permit seven earned runs on only one hit in his three appearances at Triple-A, owing to eight free passes in just 1 1/3 innings.
  • The Marlins have acquired outfielder Eury Perez from the Pirates, per an announcement from the Indianapolis Indians. Perez had been playing for Indianapolis, the Bucs’ top affiliate, since joining the organization on a minors deal over  the winter. He has been productive at the plate (.336/.400/.433) continued to run wild on the bases (22 steals) in a fifty game sample. Perez has seen MLB action in four seasons, though he has just 156 total plate appearances — with a poor .254/.307/.282 batting line — at the game’s highest level.
  • The Tigers are set to select the contract of veteran right-hander Edward Mujica, reports SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo (on Twitter). The 33-year-old hasn’t pitched in the Majors since 2015, as he’s spent the past season plus between the Triple-A affiliates for the Phillies, Royals, Twins and Tigers. The former Cardinals closer has generally been excellent in Toledo this season, though, logging 46 innings with 7.4 K/9, 1.0 BB/9 and a 36.5 percent ground-ball rate en route to a 2.35 earned run average. He’ll join a Tigers ’pen that has an MLB-worst 5.18 ERA and recently traded its best reliever, Justin Wilson.

    If they really wanted to tank,they would have stayed with F Rod as the closer

      Can’t blame it on Dombrowski any longer. Boston has one of the best

        One had everything to work with, while the other was left trying to pick up the pieces…

          Iltch gave Dombrowski an open checkbook towards payroll, that was not it. Look back at his last 3 y in Detorit:

          2013: 148m
          2014 163m
          2015 172m

          Payroll limitations is a non thinking person’s 1st excuse when it came towards Iltch’s Tiger teams the last 10y. They tried several times to bring in aging closers and they failed, even had the answer at the beginning of the millennium in Zumiya, but his arm was made out of spaghetti and never could hold up.

          Bad luck on people they developed and signed, except for maybe alex wilson, the throw in in the Porcello deal.

        How was Bostons bullpen when he took it over?

    Always been a Eury fan. I’d love to see him get an extended look. His on base numbers are much better this season than they had been in the past. OBP 70 points higher than BA, with his contact ability and speed, feel like he’d be a decent bench bat.

      Garner pitched a little bit for Tribe last season. The thing that kept getting shoved down our throats was how he’s an Ohio native.
