Player Notes
July 9, 2008
The Indians have purchased the minor league contract of pitcher Juan Rincon from Triple-A Buffalo, according to the AP. The move fills a roster spot that was created when ace hurler CC Sabathia was dealt to Milwaukee. Manager Eric Wedge commented, "He’s showing a good arm, a good slider. He has tremendous late-inning experience, and this is a good opportunity to get him in the mix."
June 30, 2008
The Triple-A Bisons have activated Juan Rincon, according to the TribeTimeReport.com. The minor league club placed Ryan Mulhern on the DL, as a corresponding move.
June 24, 2008
Juan Rincon, who was designated for assignment by the Twins last week, has signed a minor league deal with the Indians, according to MLB.com. He will report to Triple-A Buffalo.
June 21, 2008
Juan Rincon has officially become a free agent, according to the AP. He was designated for assignment last week.
June 14, 2008
Juan Rincon has turned down the chance to pitch for Triple-A Rochester, and the Twins have 10 days to trade or release him, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
June 12, 2008
Juan Rincon was outrighted to Triple-A on Thursday, according to The Sports Network. Rincon has three days to decide whether or not he wants to accept the assignment. Third baseman Brian Buscher was recalled to take the roster spot.
June 11, 2008
Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters he still intends to cut the pitching staff from 13 members to 12 following tomorrow's game in Cleveland, according to MLB.com.
June 7, 2008
The Twins need to cut down their roster from 13 pitches to 12, and it appears that the pitcher most likely to be released is Juan Rincon, according to MLB.com. "I wish I could make a better case [to stay] by pitching better, but if that's what it's going to be, it's what it's going to be," Rincon said.
March 8, 2008
With three runs already scored against Brian Duensing, reliever Juan Rincon pitched the Twins out of a bases-loaded, none-out situation in the fourth, striking out Nyjer Morgan and Jack Wilson, then getting Nate McLouth on a line drive to right in the Twins' 8-4 win over the Pirates in Grapefruit League action. Rincon is likely to be a strong force for Minnesota this year, working in relief of a starting rotation in flux. Their top starter, Johan Santana, is gone, leaving the bulk of the hope in the arms of unproven youth. Outings like this from Rincon provide a bit of relief looking forward.
