Minor 40-Man Moves: Adams, Ortega, Capra

By Anthony Franco | August 1, 2023 at 7:21pm CDT

With the trade deadline behind us, a few smaller 40-man transactions from throughout the day that weren’t previously covered:

  • The Angels selected outfielder Jordyn Adams onto the big league roster while transferring Jo Adell and Sam Bachman to the 60-day injured list. The 17th overall pick in the 2018 draft, Adams is set for his major league debut. The 23-year-old outfielder is hitting .264/.351/.466 through 389 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake. Strikeout issues have knocked down his former top prospect stock, but he’s capable of playing center field and has stolen 37 bases in 42 attempts this year.
  • The Pirates selected infielder Vinny Capra. Pittsburgh acquired the 27-year-old for catcher Tyler Heineman in a minor swap with the Blue Jays at the end of April. His big league experience consists of eight games with Toronto last season. The right-handed hitter owns a massive .350/.457/.485 showing with more walks than strikeouts over 34 games at Triple-A Indianapolis for the Bucs.
  • The Mets selected Rafael Ortega. Signed to a minor league deal in mid-June, the lefty-hitting outfielder returns to the big leagues for a seventh season. Ortega hit .265/.344/.408 for the Cubs between 2021-22. He owns a .228/.352/.388 line between two Triple-A affiliates this season. The 32-year-old will be eligible for arbitration after the season if he finished the year on the MLB roster.

Injured List Transactions

  • Rockies reinstated Tyler Kinley from 60-day IL
  • Yankees transferred Jose Trevino to 60-day IL
  • Blue Jays reinstated Hyun Jin Ryu from 60-day IL, transferred Otto Lopez to 60-day IL

    Losing Bachman is not a biggie.

    Looks like the Mets are officially service timing Ronnie. He is in the AAA lineup today and Marte is back tomorrow

      Feel free to do so. No one is making you keep believing in him or stopping others from continuing to do the opposite.

      I never had any hope in Adell to give up on. He is a perfect example of why prospects should never be hyped like he was.

        Jo Adell is another example of the vagaries of baseball. Bryce Harper was hyped and won Rookie of the Year and two MVPs. Mike Piazza was a 62nd-round draft pick who made the Hall of Fame. It’s a wonderfully unpredictable sport played by unpredictable people.

      Hayes is supposed to be reinstated from the IL today and Jason Delay will be promoted from Indy also today, so someone will be sent to the minors in a corresponding move

    Why webb now? It is a wonder how well the Angels played despite blunders of Minasian and Nevin!

    Good for Ortega, my son and I just went to a Syracuse game and he was nice enough to hook us up with a ball after he was done stretching out in center field
