Here are today's minor moves and minor outright assignments from around the league…
- The Indians announced, via Twitter, that right-hander Frank Herrmann has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Columbus. The 29-year-old Herrmann missed the entire 2013 campaign as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. He has a career 4.26 ERA with 5.4 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in 126 1/3 Major League innings and a stronger 3.13 ERA in 178 innings at the Triple-A level.
- In case you didn't see, earlier today, the Pirates made the rather surprising announcement that right-hander Vin Mazzaro has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A. Mazzaro has three days to accept or reject the assignment.
- Jeremy Jeffress, Hector Noesi, Mike Baxter and Pedro Ciriaco are all in DFA limbo at this time, and you can track their status and see the outcomes of other DFA cases using MLBTR's DFA Tracker.
