Here are Friday’s minor moves from around the game…
- First baseman/outfielder Jim Adduci cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Cubs and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Iowa, per the league’s transactions page. He’d have had the right to reject an outright assignment in favor of free agency, but Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports (via Twitter) that Adduci was indeed added to the Iowa roster, with Matt Carasiti landing on the temporarily inactive list in a corresponding move. The 34-year-old Adduci was hitless in five plate appearances during his extremely brief time with the Cubs before being designated for assignment to accommodate the addition of Carlos Gonzalez. He hit .261/.306/.478 through 41 games in Iowa earlier this season and .267/.290/.386 in 185 plate appearances for the Tigers in 2018.
Better luck next time Jimbo
Chicagoan at least had a cup of coffee at Wrigley.
Not related to this, but I figured it wouldn’t get buried in the comments here. Are the IOS notifications working for anyone? I haven’t received anything from the app for awhile now and I double checked to make sure I have everything enabled.
Yeah they’re not working for me either
Thanks man.
Me neither.
Carasiti asked for his release, it was granted and he will sign with the Mariners
It looks like he would make a good Slow Pitch Softball Pitcher?
