"The Braves have claimed righty Carson Ragsdale off waivers from the Orioles, per an announcement from the O's. Atlanta has not yet announced the move, but David O'Brien of The Athletic reports that outfielder Jake Fraley is being transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man roster spot.. Baltimore designated Ragsdale for assignment on Monday. Baltimore originally claimed Ragsdale off waivers from San Francisco following the trade deadline."
"A 2020 fourth-round pick, Ragsdale has solid numbers throughout his minor league tenure but appeared to hit a roadblock in Triple-A this season, logging a sub-par 4.87 ERA with a 19.7% strikeout rate and 12% walk rate that are both worse than average. That said, he posted a 2.93 ERA in High-A and a 3.49 mark in Double-A before stumbling in Triple-A."
Carson Ragsdale was claimed off waivers by the Braves from the Orioles, with Jake Fraley moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. Baltimore had designated Ragsdale for assignment after claiming him from San Francisco following the trade deadline. Ragsdale, 27, made his MLB debut in a brief three-inning stint in which he allowed eight runs on nine hits and a walk with two strikeouts. A 2020 fourth-round pick, he posted strong numbers in High-A and Double-A but struggled in Triple-A this season, recording a 4.87 ERA with below-average strikeout and walk rates. He averages 92.6 mph on his four-seamer, pairs it with a splitter and a high-70s curveball, and has two minor-league option years remaining.
