Let’s round up some minor moves from around the baseball landscape…
- The Brewers injury-ravaged pitching staff will reach further down the depth chart today. Alec Bettinger will join the Major League club to make his debut, starting today’s game against the Dodgers, per MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy (via Twitter). The Brewers also signed catcher Christian Kelley to a minor league contact, per Robert Murray of FanSided (via Twitter). The 27-year-old will provide much-needed depth at catcher for the Brewers.
- The Pirates released a pair of minor-leaguers today. Catcher Daniel Angulo and infielder Carlos Arroyo are now free agents, per Kevin Gorman of Trib Sports (via Twitter). While settling on the assignments as the minor league season opens, the Pirates have granted a number of veterans their release.
Bettinger was already up
Doesn’t look like he should be.
Nottingham to Milwaukee for cash.
that was already reported on
Bettinger played the “sacrificial lamb” for the pitching staff today. Poor slob. Hell of a way to make your major league debt…
Still took 3 of 4 from LA as beat up as we are….take that any day of the week. Just have to hold the line for a little bit before we start getting dudes back.
