Here are the latest outright assignments, with the newest moves at the top of the post…
- The Red Sox have outrighted catcher Erik Kratz to Triple-A, according to the MLB.com official transactions page. The move concludes a busy week for Kratz, as he was claimed off waivers from the Royals last Sunday and then designated for assignment on Thursday. Kratz has only appeared in four games this season (all with Kansas City), as he has spent time on the DL and also generally had a hard time getting into games given Salvador Perez’s heavy workload behind the plate.
- The Angels outrighted left-hander Edgar Ibarra off their 40-man roster, club director of communications Eric Kay tweets. The southpaw was already pitching at Triple-A after being optioned back to Salt Lake earlier this month. After ten minor league seasons, the 26-year-old Ibarra finally made his Major League debut, allowing a run in four relief innings for the Angels over two games. Ibarra has posted a 4.20 ERA, 2.07 K/BB rate and 8.0 K/9 over 686 1/3 career minor league innings.
