Roansy Contreras has been designated for assignment by the Orioles, and his roster spot was given to right-hander Shawn Dubin, who was claimed off waivers from the Astros organization. Contreras, once a top prospect with the Yankees and Pirates, joined Baltimore via the waiver wire this offseason. He has pitched well in Triple-A this season and provided 4 1/3 innings of scoreless long relief yesterday in his Orioles debut. That extended appearance makes him unavailable for the next several days. Contreras is out of minor league options and cannot be optioned without first passing through waivers. More information is expected.
The Orioles announced Thursday morning that right-hander Roansy Contreras has been designated for assignment. His spot on the roster goes to righty Shawn Dubin, who has now been added to the roster after being claimed off waivers out of the Astros organization. It'll be a one-and-done stop on the big league roster for Contreras, a former top prospect with the Yankees and Pirates who landed in Baltimore by way of the waiver wire this past offseason.
He's pitched well in Triple-A this season and gave the O's 4 1/3 innings of scoreless long relief yesterday in his team debut. That lengthy appearance obviously renders him unavailable for the next few days, however, and Contreras is out of minor league options and thus couldn't be sent down without first passing through waivers.
