The Rays have officially added Matt Wisler to their active roster, per the team. Wisler was acquired via trade from the Giants yesterday. To make room on the active roster, southpaw Ryan Sherriff was optioned to Triple-A. The Rays continue to adeptly re-work their bullpen, adding Wisler to previous trade acquisitions J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen (though the latter is currently in Triple-A). Wisler presents a unique challenge for Tampa, as he is out of options and, therefore, must stay on the active roster, lest they expose him to waivers. In other AL roster moves…
- The Mariners announced a slew of roster moves ahead of today’s game. Dylan Moore has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list, and Yohan Ramirez has been recalled from Triple-A. On the way out, Dillon Thomas and Donovan Walton were optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. Catcher Jacob Nottingham has also been outrighted to Triple-A.
- Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario has been reinstated from the bereavement list, per the team. He has been placed on the injured list as he goes through intake protocols. Candelario has been out since June 6th. He has batted .266/.336/.381 in 241 plate appearances this season.
..”LEST they expose him to waivers”??????
“Foresooth, yonder a Wisler cometh”…..
Verily! Hereunto thou displays that you are not baseborn…
Sending Walton down is a mistake. That kid is a gamer. Don’t like that move one bit.
Walton is a reserve. They want a harder/longer look at Moore and Long. This wasn’t a surprise.
I am so happy for Sir Nottingham
So Nottingham isn’t going back to Milwaukee then… yet! Lol
… And on the same day Ryan SHERIFF was sent down. Coincidence? I thinketh not.
