Minor MLB Transactions: 8/18/20

By Mark Polishuk | August 18, 2020 at 9:02pm CDT

The latest minor moves from around baseball…

  • The Cardinals announced before Tuesday’s game that they selected right-hander Jesus Cruz and optioned lefty Rob Kaminsky to their alternate training site. Kaminsky will remain on the Cardinals’ taxi squad. The 25-year-old Cruz is in his fourth season with the Cardinals organization. He has generally produced very good numbers at the lower levels of the minors, but his first stint with Triple-A Memphis last season did not go well. Cruz wound up with a 6.24 ERA and a 6.4 BB/9 in 57 2/3 innings, though he did punch out 12.33 hitters per nine.

Earlier:

  • The Rays have signed Dietrich Enns to a minor league contract, as announced yesterday by Enns’ independent league team in Joliet, Illinois.  Enns will report to Tampa Bay’s alternate training site and MLB.com’s Juan Toribio (Twitter link) adds that Enns has been added to the Rays’ 60-man player pool.  Originally a 19th-round pick for the Yankees in the 2012 draft, Enns compiled a 3.40 ERA, 2.48 K/BB rate, and 8.3 K/9 over 667 1/3 career minor league innings with the Yankees, Twins, and Padres.  His lone bit of MLB experience came in 2017, when Enns tossed four innings over two games with Minnesota.  Enns has mostly worked as a starter during his career and it isn’t out of the question that the Rays could deploy him in that role given how creative the club is with its pitching options, though it probably seems more likely that Enns will work as a reliever should he crack the big league roster.

    It could be a good move, if the Enns justify the means.

    I was at his MLB debut! I wondered where he had been since then so it’s good to see that something good has come of his career.

      Against some Cardboard Cutout Batters, with their cardboard cutout family in the stands.

    i feel Enns could do well as a RP arm. he’s done well as RP in a small minors sample and looked good as a RP when he was in camp with the Padres last year. also a BP with Enns as the closer just sounds too good.

    Good to see long shots like this and hope he found enough to make to the formal dance.
