The latest minor moves from around baseball…
- Blue Jays right-hander Rafael Dolis cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo, according Scott Mitchell of TSN Sports (via Twitter). Toronto designated Dolis for assignment earlier this week. Dolis was prepped to be a prime setup arm for the Jays this year, but he’s been slowed by both injuries — a calf injury and a middle finger strain — and a major lack of control. Walks have been a consistent problem for Dolis, though his 17.3% walk rate this season topped even the 13.4% career mark he carried into the 2021 campaign. Due in large part to these free passes, Dolis had a 5.63 ERA over 32 innings for the Jays this season.
Long overdue demotion. Goodbye to the human rain-delay.
Copying and pasting from the comments of the last Dolis post? I’m honored
Seriously though you saw this coming from the subpar shin bones years before the jays even signed this guy right?
Of course.
Sort of surprised they didn’t just release him.
Why?
I’m just absolutely beside myself, nobody picked him up?
