Giants Select Seth Lonsway; Cubs DFA Hoby Milner
As the MLB approaches September, the San Francisco Giants have selected pitcher Seth Lonsway from their Triple-A affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats. Lonsway, who went undrafted in the 2020 MLB Draft and was later picked in the sixth round by the Giants in 2021, has struggled with walks this season, allowing 50 over 75 innings.
In related moves, the Chicago Cubs have designated reliever Hoby Milner for assignment after he spent a month in Triple-A on rehab following an appendectomy. Additionally, the St. Louis Cardinals designated Caleb Ferguson, who had a rough final stretch with the team, while the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels also made roster changes, designating Justin Topa and Shaun Anderson, respectively.
Other transactions included the recall of several pitchers across various teams, such as Brycen Mautz and Wikelman Gonzalez, while others were optioned to the Minor Leagues. Former Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic has signed a Minor League deal with the Yankees and will join their Triple-A team.
