Let's keep track of today's outright assignments right here…
- Aaron Cunningham has cleared waivers and been assigned to Triple-A by the Indians, reports Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer (on Twitter). The 26-year-old outfielder hit .175/.245/.247 in 109 plate appearances for the Tribe before being designated for assignment last week.
- The Astros have outrighted Aneury Rodriguez to Triple-A, reports Zachary Levine of The Houston Chronicle. The 24-year-old right-hander pitched to a 6.67 ERA in Triple-A this year but allowed three runs in six innings in his lone big league start.
- The Astros have also outrighted Enerio Del Rosario to Triple-A according to Levine. Del Rosario, 26, allowed 14 runs in 15 relief innings for Houston this year.
An awesomely damning headline about the Astros abilities.
As an Astros fan, I can tell you that it might be a good idea to outright the team to AAA, only problem is that their current AAA team (Oklahoma City) which is in first place may take offense !! As a matter of fact, any of their minor league teams (all of which are playing over .500 ball) may take offense!! We are a sad bunch at the major league level, but I have hope…..only because of what is taking place at the minor league level.
