The latest minor league moves from around baseball…
- The Pirates outrighted Hunter Owen to Triple-A, the team announced. The outfielder was designated for assignment earlier this week. A 25th-round pick for the Pirates in the 2016 draft, Owen made his MLB debut this season, and is still looking for his first hit after five plate appearances over three games.
- Right-hander Luis Madero cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to the Marlins’ Triple-A affiliate. The Marlins designated Madero for assignment earlier this week, and he had the option of becoming a free agent since he had previously been outrighted during his career, back in February 2020 when he was a member of the Giants. After signing a minor league contract with Miami in the offseason, Madero made his MLB debut by pitching three innings over two appearances this season.
