Padres Designate Matt Wisler

By Connor Byrne | June 29, 2019 at 5:37pm CDT

The Padres announced that they’ve designated right-hander Matt Wisler for assignment. They’re replacing him on the 25-man roster with righty Robert Stock, who’s up from Triple-A El Paso.

Wisler’s in his second stint with the Padres, though his designation could once again lead him elsewhere. Formerly a well-regarded prospect, Wisler initially left the Padres in April 2015, when the Friars sent him to the Braves in a deal for closer Craig Kimbrel and outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. Wisler lasted into 2018 with the Braves, who traded him to the Reds in July to acquire outfielder Adam Duvall, before returning to San Diego this past April in a swap for righty Diomar Lopez.

Now 26 years old, Wisler saw his first action with the Padres this season before his DFA, logging an unimpressive 5.28 ERA over 29 innings and 21 appearances. Wisler has, however, posted a 4.11 FIP with 10.55 K/9, 3.1 BB/9 and a 43.4 percent groundball rate in the majors this year. Including his days with the Braves and Reds, Wisler has pitched to a 5.18 ERA/4.83 FIP with 6.74 K/9, 2.92 BB/9 and a 36.8 percent grounder rate in 367 big league frames.

    There is a god. Too bad it wasn’t Munoz coming up from AAA but anything will be better than watching Wisler get knocked around.

    Maton shouldn’t be too far behind.

        Good news is that Jose Castillo should be back soon along with Dinelson Lamet who in turn makes the bullpen better because Strahm is likely to be going back into it.

        Adding Castillo plus Strahm with the sudden emergence of Quantrill & Perdomo spells good for the second half of the season.

        The bullpen will be a huge factor to whether or not San Diego makes the playoffs. The offense is just fine.

          If anything, cal jr will be used to piggy back off paddack and strahm to get a full 6-7 between the two. Inning limits will happen sooner or later

          I think a huge key is if Logan Allen can keep up what he started. Regardless, I don’t see a huge need to run out a trade for a starter like reports state.

        I’m happy with this move, but how on earth was Maton not the first one to go? The fact that he is still on the MLB roster boggles my mind. Serious question, who makes that decision? AJ or Green?

          Why? Simple who had options and who doesn’t have options
          Wisler has zero thanks to the braves and maton still has this year and next year.

    The gas is back. With Robert Stock and hopefully Muñoz soon, that’s some serious gas coming out of the pen.

        WHIP of 2.00 at El Paso. If he can’t cut down on the walks against AAA hitters, he’s going to get rocked again in the majors.

    Is Wisler all the Braves got in that trade? I know the Pads had to eat up that terrible BJ Upton contract, but I thought the Braves may have gotten more on that post Spring Training pre-opening day deal for Kimbrel.

    Ahh, yes tharrie. I believe you’re right. I think I heard Chip Caray actually say that during a Braves game this season. I am a little confused about that though. I keep hearing that MLB teams are not allowed to trade draft picks. I know the Braves traded Texiera to the Angels and after Texiera signed with the Yanks as a free agent, the Angels were able to use the compensatory pick they received to draft Mike Trout (heart breaking right? Instead of trading Texiera for 1 year of Kasey Kotchman the Braves could have just let him walk as a free agent instead and gotten Trout. Who would rather have 1 year of Kotchman over an entire career of Trout). But I don’t have a clue how we could have received the Riley draft pick in a trade. I thought you couldn’t trade picks and you could only get compensatory picks when certain free agents left after turning down a qualifying offer or something like that. Can anyone explain to me how this works and how the Braves got a draft pick in a straight trade without letting any free agents walk?

      MLB teams are allowed to trade compensation picks and competitive balance picks, but not “actual” draft picks. The Austin Riley pick was a 1st round comp pick, which is why they were able to acquire it.

      As for the Braves trading Tex, if they didn’t trade him, they could’ve extended him a qualifying offer, and then receive the comp pick once the Yankees signed him.

      Very true, however they all should be gone soon. Process of elimination hopefully.

      Wisler was traded to the Reds last year before the trade deadline when they got Adam Duvall.
