In addition to Matuella, Sarkis Ohanian was drafted, which is always cool for a senior. The fun part of the draft starts on Wednesday at 12:00pm ET and can be followed on MLB.com

Teams are starting to sign their draft picks now.

The Rangers signed Matuella, but of course it will be a while before he sees the field.

Andrew Istler, one of several last day picks, has signed with the Dodgers and been assigned to Ogden in the Rookie level Pioneer League.

The Blue Jays promoted Greg Burke to AAA Buffalo.

Sarkis Ohanian signed with the Reds and starts at Billings in the Rookie Pioneer League.

Kenny Koplove opted to sign with the Phillies and starts at their Short Season A team in Williamsport.

[awhom111]

Forgot to mention that Nate Freiman was DFA by the A's over the long weekend and cleared waivers, subsequently being outrighted back to Nashville.

[awhom111]

There were a couple of signings right before the deadline to take our count up to six for this year.

Andy Perez was assigned to the Rookie level Gulf Coast League by the Red Sox.

Pitcher Dillon Haviland signed with the Gateway Grizzlies of the Frontier League. He was a fifth-year senior.

[awhom111]

Chris Capuano was DFA by the Yankees.

With nobody else to claim, I guess we have to go back to calling Danny Otero one of our own.

[awhom111]

The Yankees outright Chris Capuano to AAA Scranton Wilkes-Barre.

[jimsumner]

Chris Capuano was DFA by the Yankees.

With nobody else to claim, I guess we have to go back to calling Danny Otero one of our own.

Otero was sent to the minors yesterday.

[awhom111]

The Yankees opened up a roster spot and selected Chris Capuano, so we have a major leaguer again.

Robert Huber has been on the minor league Disabled List recently.

[awhom111]

Chris Capuano was DFA by the Yankees again.

Dan Otero was recalled by the A's, but was a big part of their debacle yesterday, so maybe we do not want to claim him.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Capuano is back up with the Yankees.

Capuano is back up with the Yankees.

And was promptly DFA'd the next day after pitching ~3 innings in relief.

But wait! There's more! Today the Yanks put CC Sabathia on the DL with knee inflammation and resigned Chris! Hope he hasn't gotten whiplash from all the up and down to Scranton this season.

Come on, Chris! We need your Duke representation on the Yankees just to balance all that carolina on the pitching staff....

There wasn't even enough time to outright him this time!


Robert Huber came off the DL and made an appearance for Beloit over the weekend.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

And he was dfa'd again Thursday. He has accepted assignment to Scranton and asked for a couple of starts to get himself right. The Yanks agreed. He'll be back up next week when rosters expand.

[awhom111]

Drew Van Orden has hit the disabled list in the minors.

Here's a great Grantland story on Stroman's ACL recovery and quick return to the mound - minor league rehab starts at first. The Blue Jays are targeting a mid-September return to the majors. Great news for him.

This is really neat

[awhom111]

Marcus Stroman gets the win in his return.

Dennis O'Grady and Drew Van Orden were put on the disabled list in the minors before the end of the season.
