Athletics acquire righty Hayden Juenger from Jays

Hayden Juenger

ATH Relief Pitcher #70

Player Stats

Athletics acquired RHP Hayden Juenger from the Blue Jays for C Owen Carapellotti.

Juenger was DFA’d by the Jays earlier this week. In his MLB debut, the 25-year-old gave up three earned runs over two innings in two appearances for the Jays earlier this season. Primarily a reliever the last four years, he has a 4.71 ERA and a 251/113 K/BB in 237 career innings in Triple-A. The A’s figure to stick him in their Triple-A bullpen for now.

Blue Jays designated RHP Hayden Juenger for assignment.

Juenger is off the 40-man roster, and it clears room for Shane Bieber (elbow) to be activated off the 60-day injured list for his season debut Tuesday against the Astros. Juenger could see interest on the waiver wire, but if he goes unclaimed or untraded, he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Buffalo.
Hayden Juenger

TOR Relief Pitcher #70

Blue Jays optioned RHP Hayden Juenger to Triple-A Buffalo.

He allowed three earned runs in two innings with the Jays in his first MLB action, walking two and striking out none. He’ll likely be back at some point on the Buffalo/Toronto shuttle when the Jays need a fresh arm.
Hayden Juenger

TOR Relief Pitcher #70

Blue Jays selected the contract of RHP Hayden Juenger from Triple-A Buffalo.

Juenger earns his first promotion to the majors after posting a serviceable 3.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 23/8 K/BB ratio across 20 innings for Triple-A Buffalo this season. He also has three saves during that span. The 25-year-old joins Toronto’s bullpen ahead of Saturday’s contest against the division-rival Orioles and figures to operate in low-leverage spots initially.
Ricky Tiedemann

TOR Starting Pitcher #70

Blue Jays LHP Ricky Tiedemann and 18 other players were invited to spring training.

Tiedemann — universally considered among the top pitching prospects in the game — should get a legitimate shot at cracking the Jays’ Opening Day rotation. Injuries limited him to just 44 innings over 15 minor league starts in 2023 before he concluded his season by taking home Pitcher of the Year honors in the Arizona Fall League. The 18 other players invited to major league spring training on Monday were RHP Andrew Bash, C Zach Britton, LHP Jimmy Burnette, C Phil Clarke, RHP Connor Cooke, RHP Chad Dallas, INF Luis De Los Santos, OF Cam Eden, LHP Brandon Eisert, LHP Mason Fluharty, RHP Devereaux Harrison, RHP Ryan Jennings, RHP Hayden Juenger, INF Damiano Palmegiani, OF Will Robertson, OF Alan Roden, C Brian Serven and Andres Sosa.

Braxton Garrett allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits in six innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

The left-hander also struck out six and walked one on the day. Garrett has struggled in two starts with the Marlins, but he has a 1.54 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 75/26 K/BB ratio in 70 innings at Triple-A. He probably deserves another chance to start or provide bulk relief innings at the big league level. But with Janson Junk (shin) close to returning from his rehab assignment, it’s tough to see how the Marlins will fit Garrett in.

CIN 3rd Baseman #3

Ke’Bryan Hayes (back) went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, an RBI, and three runs scored for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

It was a box score-stuffing night for Hayes, who also played the entire game at third base. He’s played only four rehab games so far, but he seems like he’ll be ready to go after the All-Star break. Since Hayes has no minor league options left, the Reds will likely need to decide whether to send down Edwin Arroyo or Matt McLain when Hayes is ready to come back. Another option could be Nathaniel Lowe, who has hit just .203/.313/.261 with a 34 percent strikeout rate in 27 games since June 1st.

Joshua Báez

Cardinals OF prospect Joshua Báez went 0-for-5 for Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Báez had a tremendous month of June, but the last two weeks have been a struggle. In 11 games from June 25th on, Báez has gone 5-for-44 with two doubles and two home runs. Obviously, the hits aren’t falling, and his 13/3 K/BB ratio over those 11 games isn’t ideal, but it’s also not egregious and shows he’s not being overmatched. He will likely get hot again, but there remains no real spot for him in the Cardinals’ lineup, so he’s probably not as much of a priority stash as he was three weeks ago.

Cardinals signed RHP Durbin Feltman to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Memphis

Back in 2018, the Red Sox drafted Feltman in the third round out of TCU, and the prevailing wisdom was that he would fly through the minors after a stellar career as a closer in college. He actually posted a 1.93 ERA in 23 1/3 innings in his first professional season, but then the wheels fell off a bit in 2019. Feltman bounced back after the COVID-19 shutdown, but a 7.63 ERA in 48 1/3 innings in 2022 got him released by the Red Sox, and then he was signed and subsequently released by the Athletics. The 29-year-old has been playing in the Independent Leagues and will now get another shot to make his MLB debut.

Luis Campusano went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday in the Padres’ 10-4 drubbing of the Diamondbacks.

Campusano is 5-for-11 with three walks since coming off the IL on Friday. He’ll stay plenty busy behind the plate for the Padres while Freddy Fermin is out, but he also might deserve some DH time once Fermin returns; he’s batting .317/.403/.619 with four homers in 72 plate appearances on the season.

Michael King turned in six innings of one-run ball to defeat the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

King allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four. After a rough spell in late May and the first half of June, he ends the first half having gone 2-1 with a 2.31 ERA in his final four outings prior to the break. Overall, he’s 6-7 with a 3.41 ERA. He’ll probably start the Padres’ first game out of the break next Friday against the Royals.

Jose Cabrera gave up four runs in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Padres.

Since throwing five scoreless innings in his major league debut against the Twins last month, Cabrera has given up 11 runs and walked nine in 12 2/3 innings over three starts. It seems likely that he’ll head back to Triple-A now, as the D-backs could have Michael Soroka ready to go after the break.
