Prospect Transactions: Aug. 31-Sept. 6
Starters Miller, Teheran, Perez, Cingrani receive call to Majors
| Player | Org | Move | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adam Eaton | ARI | Activated off DL (concussion); promoted to D-backs | |
| Julio Teheran | ATL | Promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett to Braves | |
| Notes: MLB.com's No. 26 prospect did not have the season he or anyone else anticipated. Remember how he was in a multi-party battle to open the year in Atlanta? After compiling a 5.08 ERA and an underwhelming 97 strikeouts in 131 innings for the G-Braves, that's just where he finds himself. But expect him to pitch out of the 'pen before he earns another start. | |||
| Juan Jaime | ATL | Activated off Class A Adv. Lynchburg DL | |
| Glynn Davis | BAL | Promoted from Class A Adv. Frederick to Double-A Bowie | |
| Xavier Avery | BAL | Promoted from Triple-A Norfolk to Orioles | |
| Chris Carpenter | BOS | Promoted from Triple-A Pawtucket to Red Sox | |
| Notes: The Cubs got a whole season of Theo Epstein, but the Sox have only one-third of an inning out of Carpenter -- one of the players they received in the "trade" for Chicago's new exec. Carpenter's journey to Boston was delayed by minor elbow surgery to start the year. He tumbled in MLB.com rankings -- he is now No. 20 in the organization -- but still has a bright future in the bullpen. | |||
| J.C. Linares | BOS | Activated off Triple-A Pawtucket DL (broken thumb) | |
| Dave Sappelt | CHC | Promoted from Triple-A Iowa to Cubs | |
| Tony Cingrani | CIN | Promoted from Double-A Pensacola to Reds | |
| Notes: MLB.com's No. 65 prospect enjoyed one of the sneakiest seasons among mid-level prospects and, as a result, no longer is one. Cingrani fashioned a 1.73 ERA and tallied 172 strikeouts in 146 innings between the Class A Advanced and Double-A levels. Expect his past as a reliever to come in handy if he appears out of Cincinnati's bullpen in the season's final month. | |||

| Tyler Thornburg | MIL | Promoted from Triple-A Nashville to Brewers | |
| Logan Schafer | MIL | Promoted from Triple-A Nashville to Brewers | |
| Eric Farris | MIL | Promoted from Triple-A Nashville to Brewers | |
| Jeurys Familia | NYM | Promoted from Triple-A Buffalo to Mets | |
| Tyler Austin | NYY | Promoted from Class A Adv. Tampa to Double-A Trenton | |
| Notes: MLB.com's No. 66 prospect went from a 13th-round pick to one of the best hitting prospects in baseball by 2012. Austin finished the regular season with a .322 average, 58 extra-base hits and 80 RBIs in 110 games across four levels. And he's still going: The Thunder remain alive in the Eastern League playoffs. | |||
| Adam Warren | NYY | Promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to Yankees | |
| Brad Peacock | OAK | Activated off Triple-A Sacramento DL (hit by comebacker) | |
| Sonny Gray | OAK | Promoted from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Sacramento | |
| Justin De Fratus | PHI | Promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to Phillies | |
| Gerrit Cole | PIT | Promoted from Double-A Altoona to Triple-A Indianapolis | |
| Notes: MLB.com's No. 8 prospect struck out seven over six innings of three-run ball in his International League debut on 9/1. Cole also took the ball in Indy's second postseason game on Thursday night. | |||

| Kyle McPherson | PIT | Promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis to Pirates | |
| Jeff Locke | PIT | Promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis to Pirates | |
| Justin Wilson | PIT | Promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis to Pirates | |
| Brock Holt | PIT | Promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis to Pirates | |
| Brad Boxberger | SD | Promoted from Triple-A Tucson to Padres | |
| Keyvius Sampson | SD | Placed on Double-A San Antonio DL (back) | |
| Johermyn Sanchez | SEA | Designated for assignment | |
| Clayton Blackburn | SF | Promoted from Class A Augusta to Class A Adv. San Jose | |
| Shelby Miller | STL | Promoted from Triple-A Memphis to Cardinals | |
| Notes: MLB.com's No. 20 prospect was beaten down by and then beat up on the Pacific Coast League. Miller's numbers after 27 starts with the Redbirds: 4.74 ERA and a 160-to-50 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Cards have appeared to time his callup well, too. The right-hander pitched two shutout innings in his MLB debut, striking out the side in the second. | |||
| Ryan Jackson | STL | Demoted to Triple-A Memphis; promoted to Cardinals | |
| Jurickson Profar | TEX | Promoted from Double-A Frisco to Rangers | |
| Notes: MLB.com's No. 1 prospect became the latest teen to make an immediate impact in the Majors. After posting .281/.368/.452 slash line in 126 Texas League games, the 19-year-old shortstop homered in his first big league at-bat. | |||
