Minor Moves: Cards, Carpenter, Murphy, Clemens

By Mark Polishuk | August 2, 2015 at 6:55pm CDT

Here are today’s minor league transactions from around baseball, with the newest moves at the top of the post…

  • The Cardinals outrighted right-hander Marcus Hatley and first baseman Dan Johnson off the 40-man roster and sent them to Triple-A, according to the club’s official transactions page.  Both players were designated for assignment earlier in the week.
  • Braves right-hander David Carpenter has accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo tweets.  Carpenter was designated for assignment last week and had the option of becoming a free agent, which he declined to stay in the Braves organization.  Carpenter has only appeared in four games for Atlanta this season, posting a 7.36 ERA over his 3 2/3 innings of work.
  • The Brewers released infielder Donnie Murphy, as per the Pacific Coast League’s transactions page.  Murphy signed a minor league contract with Milwaukee in February and had a .257/.352/.371 line over 162 PA at Triple-A Colorado Springs.  The 32-year-old Murphy has appeared in parts of nine Major League seasons with five different teams since 2004.
  • The Royals signed righty Paul Clemens to a minor league deal, according to MLB.com’s transactions page.  Clemens posted a 5.51 ERA over 98 innings with the Astros in 2013-14 and a 5.54 ERA over 26 innings in the Phillies’ minor league system this season.  He was released by the Phils in June.
  • Chris Capuano has accepted his outright assignment from the Yankees and reported to Triple-A, SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo tweets.  The veteran southpaw had the option of becoming a free agent, though doing so would’ve forfeited the roughly $1.7MM still owed to him on his Yankees contract for the rest of the season.
  • Angels right-hander Jeremy McBryde has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, the club’s communications department tweets.  McBryde was designated for assignment earlier in the week.  McBryde has a 4.07 ERA over 659 1/3 career minor league innings, though he’s struggled to a 5.63 ERA in 46 1/3 relief frames for the Halos’ Triple-A affiliate this season.
  • While McBryde’s case has been settled, over 20 players are still in DFA limbo.  Check out the MLB Trade Rumors DFA Tracker for a full accounting of the players still awaiting their next assignment.

Braves Designate David Carpenter For Assignment

By Steve Adams | July 28, 2015 at 9:57pm CDT

The Braves announced tonight that they’ve designated right-handed reliever David Carpenter for assignment. The move creates a spot for Mike Foltynewicz to return to the big league club.

This marks the second DFA of the season for Carpenter, who is not to be confused with the Nationals reliever of the same name. Both David Carpenters, of course, have pitched for the Braves in the past two seasons, creating a bit of confusion around Atlanta’s pair of DFAs this season.

The Carpenter in question — David Lee Carpenter — has the more limited track record of the two. He’s pitched just 3 2/3 innings for the Braves this season, allowing three runs in that time but also fanning five without any walks. Carpenter has a 5.40 ERA over the life of his career — a span of 46 2/3 innings. He has a 4.02 ERA in 118 2/3 Triple-A innings to go along with averages of 7.9 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9.

Braves Reliever David Carpenter Designated For Assignment

By | July 17, 2015 at 4:47pm CDT

The Braves have designated reliever David Carpenter for assignment, tweets David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Carpenter, 27, was recalled in early July and made four appearances for the Braves. The soft-tossing righty posted a 7.36 ERA in three and two-thirds innings with 12.27 K/9, no walks, and two home runs allowed. In 37 innings at Triple-A, he managed a 0.73 ERA with 8.76 K/9 and 3.65 BB/9. Over a 46 inning major league career, Carpenter has a 5.40 ERA with 6.56 K/9 and 3.66 BB/9.

Those who don’t closely follow the Braves can be excused for some confusion as to which David Carpenter has been designated. Over the offseason, Atlanta traded a harder throwing Carpenter to the Yankees who have since dealt him to the Nationals. That Carpenter was placed on the disabled list today, tweets Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York. The Carpenter designated today was signed to a minor league deal in January. He originally debuted with the Angels.
