Cardinals Outright Ryan Meisinger

By Steve Adams | September 11, 2020 at 11:46am CDT

Cardinals right-hander Ryan Meisinger cleared waivers and was assigned outright to the team’s alternate training site, according to the team’s transactions log at MLB.com. He was designated for assignment when St. Louis reinstated Carlos Martinez from the injured list earlier this week.

Meisinger, 26, was a waiver claim out of the Orioles organization prior to the 2019 season and has had some strong performances in the upper minors. However, although he boasts a 2.73 ERA and 78-to-20 K/BB ratio through 62 2/3 Triple-A frames, Meisinger has received minimal opportunity in the big leagues. He’s logged just 23 2/3 innings in the big leagues, most of which came with the 2018 Orioles. He hasn’t found success to date, but it’s obviously a rather small sample of work.

That solid body of work in Triple-A apparently didn’t get him claimed by another club in search of bullpen depth, however. He’s been outrighted previously, so he could reject the assignment in favor of free agency. If he accepts, Meisinger will rejoin the Cardinals’ 60-man player pool and remain eligible to return to the club in the final couple weeks of the 2020 season.

        just the fact that he thinks Meisinger would be an upgrade for any club is damning enough

    Kind of surprised he hasn’t gotten more of a shot in the majors. He’s been spectacular at every stop along the way in the minors — looks like maybe he had TJ (or some other significant injury because he missed the entire 2018 season) BUT he really has been quite impressive in the minors. Particularly early in his career he posted ERAs below 2.00 in his first few professional seasons.

      He has below average stuff. He has two pitches: a below average 91-92 mph fastball and an average slider. Some guys are just good minor leaguers without tools to translate up the ladder.
