The latest minor moves from around the league:
- The Royals announced that left-hander Daniel Tillo has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Kansas City had a pair of vacancies on the 40-man roster, so no additional move was required. Tillo, named the #51 prospect in the Royals system entering the year by Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs, was selected to the 40-man roster in advance of last winter’s Rule 5 draft. The 24-year-old has spent the entire year recovering from a 2020 Tommy John surgery and has thus far topped out at Double-A.
- The Giants signed right-hander Logan Ondrusek to a minor league contract over the weekend. He’s been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento, where he made his first appearance on Saturday. Ondrusek made 288 MLB relief appearances between 2010 and 2016, the bulk of that time coming with the Reds. The 36-year-old hasn’t appeared in the majors in five years, but he’s worked his way back to affiliated ball after beginning the year well with the Leones de Yucatán of the Mexican League. Now working as a starting pitcher, Ondrusek pitched to a 2.38 ERA with an incredible 50:3 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 45 1/3 innings in Mexico this season.
- Dodgers right-hander Yefry Ramírez has cleared outright waivers, according to the MLB.com transactions tracker. Ramírez, who was designated for assignment last week, had the right to reject an outright assignment because he’d been outrighted in the past. He has apparently chosen to accept an assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City, though, as he’s listed on OKC’s active roster. The 27-year-old made one appearance with L.A. but has otherwise spent the year with Oklahoma City, working to a 5.49 ERA across 62 1/3 innings.
Whoever has the time to rank a team’s prospects beyond the usual 30 all the way past 50 really needs to rethink their life.
Well he is paid to do it (Eric Logenhagen)
Logan Ondrusek- there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while
I was just going to say the same thing. Whats one more former Red for the Giants?
They should allow a minor league call up a minimum of 3 game appearances. One day is not enough.
less guys would get promoted then
Hard not to like the Giants as a Reds fan lol.
Logan Ondrusek? MLB franchises are signing Euro hockey players now?
They want someone who can check a catcher on a play at home
Seriously Giants…… what exactly can he do
I don’t know, but I think I’ll trust Farhan on this one (his track record for 2021 has been pretty good, LOL!
