Rangers Return Rule 5 Pick Kyle Dowdy To Indians

By George Miller | July 28, 2019 at 4:42pm CDT

The Rangers have returned right-handed pitcher Kyle Dowdy, who was chosen in December’s Rule 5 Draft, to the Indians, per a club announcement. He had been designated for assignment on Thursday and was offered to his original club after clearing waivers.

Originally chosen by the Mets in the Rule 5 Draft, Dowdy was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Rangers. Before landing on the injured list with an elbow impingement, he contributed 22 1/3 innings, including one start, for the Rangers, striking out 17 batters but walking 18.

Dowdy, 26, will return to the Indians organization and has been assigned to Double-A Akron.

    Our minor leagues pitching coordinators will get him going right again.

      Yes.
      When he came over from Detroit last season they altered his delivery and he was throwing 5 mph faster and with better control by the end of the season.

    The electronic strike zone would have saved this kid some BB; he surely was squeezed in the games I watched. Like most rookies, they must prove themselves to the working umpire behind the plate. Unfortunately, different k-zones according to the name on your back…

    Kind or a waste had him take up a roster spot for months . Few months away from having control of him in your organization

      I don’t think the time on the IL counts towards Rule 5 requirements.

        You are correct,it doesn’t.
        But they can keep him on the IL during the off season and start up his rule 5 required time on the roster at the beginning of next season.The Orioles did that with Anthony Santander.

        Sort of. He only has to spend 90 days on the active roster. I thought he had enough time that he could be hidden. Guess not.

    Speaking of Rule 5 guys… we will have to return Wilson Garcia ourselves, correct? I believe he was a Rule 5 we selected but he never will sniff past AA.

    Never mind! I just read he was taken in the minor league Rule 5 as a minor league free agent of the Rangers. Different set of rules than the major league version. Burning River Baseball just listed Garcia as the Tribe’s #1 1B Prospect with Bobby Bradley now graduated to the major leagues and no longer a prospect….this even though Bradley bring sent back down again to AAA recently .
