Here are the day’s minor moves:
- Middle infielder Tommy Field has accepted an outright assignment with the Rangers after clearing waivers, club executive VP of communications John Blake announced. The 28-year-old will provide a depth option for the big league club. He has seen 45 turns at bat this year with the major league club, slashing .195/.250/.366.
- The Angels have outrighted outfielder Gary Brown to Triple-A after he cleared waivers, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times tweets. Brown was designated for assignment on Monday to clear a 40-man spot. The former first-round pick has hit a meager .202/.254/.331 this year at Salt Lake, but he’ll have a chance to stay in a familiar environment as he looks to engineer a turnaround and earn a crack at the big leagues.

Can you outright someone to single A?

Seems like yesterday when Brown was almost shipped to New York in place of Zach Wheeler in the Carlos Beltran deal.
Wooltron
I wish that was the case.

Could have been Belt. Thats who the Mets first choice was.
Wooltron
That would have been incredibly short sighted. Glad that didn’t happen.
