FUTURE EXPECTED MOVES
- BAL: SP Alex Cobb will be recalled from the minors on Saturday April 14th to make his Orioles’ debut, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN.
- HOU: 1B Yuli Gurriel is expected to be activated from the 10-Day DL on Friday April 13th, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
- LAA: 2B Ian Kinsler expects to be activated from the DL on Thursday April 12th, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Southern California News Group.
- LAA: SPs Nick Tropeano and Andrew Heaney as candidates to start on Thursday and Friday, also according to Fletcher.
- NYY: OF Aaron Hicks could be activated from the 10-Day DL as early as Thursday April 12th, according to Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record.
- SEA: DH Nelson Cruz and OF Ben Gamel could both be activated from the DL as early as Friday April 13th, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com.
- TB: OF Johnny Field will have his contract purchased from the minors on Friday April 13th, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Ryan Weber will be optioned to Triple-A.
With the White Sox 40-man roster currently maxed out the simplest corresponding move on Thursday would be to replace Gregory Infante with a player at Charlotte who is also on the reserve roster. The only pitcher who meets that criteria aside from just demoted Juan Minaya is Thyago Vieira who has pitched decently enough for the Knights with no runs allowed, 5 SO’s and 2 BB’s in 2.2 IP.
