2018 Minor League Transaction Thread

[Mass Haas]

At Biloxi, LHP Cam Roegner lands on the 7-day DL, while RHP Danny Reynolds is activated from the same list.

 

Roegner's injury happened Thursday, and darn it, I am so done with pitchers batting already. I was a holdout for a long time, but the Guerra / Nelson / Anderson 2017 Brewers injuries just finally knocked me to my senses.

 

Biloxi Bottom of the 3rd

 

Max McDowell pops out to second baseman Taylor Featherston.

Cameron Roegner strikes out swinging.

Corey Ray flies out to center fielder Jose Siri.

 

Pensacola Top of the 4th

 

Pitching Change: Cody Ponce replaces Cameron Roegner, batting 9th.

 

The announcer at Biloxi's WXXV was having some fun with it here, but certainly didn't realize the awkward swing prompted an exit. Granted, even Roegner walked off with a smile, but that sure looked like one of those oblique swings (total conjecture on my part).

 

You can find the video along with other game highlights from Thursday at this link.

 

FOLLOWUP: I'm hearing that whatever the cause of Roegner's DL placement, it was not related to this at-bat, and the nature of his placement is unclear. So hopefully Cam's back in time for Biloxi's postseason run.

 

I'm still done with pitchers batting, though...

[clancyphile]

I'm hoping Roegner comes back soon and is 100% healthy.

[And That]

3B Lucas Erceg and RHP Josh Uhen hit the Biloxi 7-day DL, with Erceg's placement retroactive to 8/24.

 

C Johan Mojica and RHP Conor Harber were activated from Biloxi's DL to replace them. Mojica has been Biloxi's bullpen catcher all season, so he gets to see a little actual game action. Harber had been out of action since the 16th.

[And That]

RHP Devin Williams placed on Carolina's 7-day DL, retroactive to the 23rd. Williams left that game with an apparent lower-body injury.

 

1B Pat McInerney activated off of Carolina's DL to fill the roster space.

[And That]

LHP Wilfred Salaman and OF Jay Feliciano placed on Wisconsin's 7-day DL in an apparent roster shuffling move. INF Kenny Corey activated off Wisconsin's DL, and of course, Zach Davies was optioned to the Rattlers' roster.

[And That]

#Brewers minor league pitcher Franklin Hernandez, on rookie Helena roster, suspended 76 games for PED violation.

Hernandez has been placed on Helena's suspended list.

[And That]

In a bit of a surprise move, RHP Jolon Lun has been promoted from the AZL to Helena. Lun (aka Lun Zhao) is still a day shy of his 17th birthday so he could pitch tonight in the Pioneer League as a 16-year-old. That's something. Also makes you wonder if he has a shot at Wisconsin's roster next year. He worked 4.1 scoreless innings in the AZL in his initial pro assignment.

[And That]

The Brewers purchased the contract of RHP Chris Hall from the Frontier League's Schaumburg Boomers. He was a 14th round pick of the Blue Jays in 2016, made it as high as Lansing in the Midwest League last year, and was released before spring training of this year.

[And That]

C Mario Feliciano transferred from Carolina to the AZL roster. C Robie Rojas activated off of the Carolina DL in his stead. A bit of a lost season for the 19-year-old catcher sees him limited to to less than 200 PAs. Then again, he's just 19.

[And That]

Tim Dillard activated off of Colorado Spring's DL prior to yesterday's doubleheader, with Rymer Liriano being transferred to the AZL roster.

[And That]

Tim Dillard activated off of Colorado Spring's DL prior to yesterday's doubleheader, with Rymer Liriano being transferred to the AZL roster.

Liriano back on the active roster with the Sky Sox as of yesterday. Also, Erik Davis was activated off of Colorado Springs' DL and Tom Jankins was promoted from Biloxi to Colorado Springs.

[And That]

OF Nic Pierre was reinstated from Wisconsin's 7-day DL.

[And That]

RHP Danny Reynolds promoted from Biloxi to Colorado Springs to backfill for Knebel's roster spot.

 

RHP Josh Uhen activated from Biloxi's DL to backfill Reynolds' spot.

[And That]

C David Fry promoted to Wisconsin from Helena, OF Tristen Lutz assigned to the AZL roster, while OF Jay Feliciano and LHP Wilfred Salaman were activated off of Wisconsin's DL.

Brewers have re-signed Minor League righty Preston Gainey, the 2012 Draft pick out of the U.S. Naval Academy who had Tommy John surgery in the spring.

In other Minor League news, Brewers released RHPs Cody Martin and Daniel Missaki. Crew got Missaki from the Mariners (with Freddy Peralta and Carlos Herrera) for Adam Lind, but he had a second TJ surgery in March 2016 and hasn't pitched a regular season game since.

[CheeseheadInQC]

It’s good to see the Gainey news. I’ve always been bizarrely high on his chances to make it as a reliever.
