Minor MLB Transactions: 7/11/19

By Steve Adams | July 11, 2019 at 8:11pm CDT

The latest minor moves from around the game…

Most Recent

  • The Orioles’ Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk announced several roster moves today, including the news that right-hander Matt Wotherspoon was outrighted to Triple-A after clearing waivers.  Wotherspoon was designated for assignment last week, and this marks the second time this season that the O’s outrighted him off their 40-man roster.  Now in his sixth pro season, Wotherspoon made his Major League debut earlier this year, getting hit hard for eight earned runs over 4 2/3 innings for Baltimore.

Earlier Today

  • Brewers right-hander Deolis Guerra cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A San Antonio, per MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy (Twitter link). The 30-year-old Guerra made just one appearance with the Brewers after having his contract selected, wherein he was hammered for four runs in two-thirds of an inning. Ugly as that outing was, Guerra has been excellent in an extraordinarily hitter-friendly Triple-A environment in 2019: 2.61 ERA, 10.5 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 1.09 HR/9 in 41 1/3 innings of relief. It seems the well-traveled Guerra will remain in the organization as a depth piece; he had the right to reject the assignment in favor of free agency, but there’s no indication he plans to do so.
  • Lost in the All-Star shuffle on Tuesday was the Indians’ announcement that righty Chih-Wei Hu cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Columbus. Hu, 25, was originally signed by the Twins as an amateur free agent out of Taiwan but was traded to the Rays in 2015 (for Kevin Jepsen) and then to the Indians this past offseason (for minor leaguer Gionti Turner). Hu pitched 23 innings of 3.52 ERA ball with a 21-to-7 K/BB ratio for Tampa Bay in 2017-18, but he’s been rocked for a 7.95 ERA while allowing 2.96 HR/9 in 48 2/3 innings in Triple-A this year. Hu had a 4.06 ERA and solid K/BB numbers in parts of four prior seasons of Triple-A ball prior to 2019, and he’ll strive to get back to that level of performance while no longer occupying a 40-man roster spot.

      Have you seen Donaldson’s hair the past few seasons? He has everyone beat for the worst hair.

    To beat the joke to death I have some questions:

    Is his favorite band the Who ? Does he call them the Me ?

    Is his warm- up song “Who are you ?”

    Is his favorite video game Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu?.

    When people say “Who are you ?” does he correct their English and say “I am Hu, but you say Are you Hu ?”

    Does he get defensive when someone asks who took the cookies from the jar or who flung poo ?

    Does he think Horton hears him ?

    And some unrelated puns:

    Joey Bart should have the nickname “peanut butter”. He should take a picture with Sean Hjelle holding a bat.

    Should Hjelle’s warm- up song be “I don’t think you’re ready for this Hjelle” ?

    Is any bread he bakes automatically a Hjelle roll ?

    Ok, done.
