September 1, 2031
Long Beach, CAThe month of September in the BBA always brings a bevy of transactions as active rosters expand from 27 to 40. Here's what's going on with the Surfers:
Placed on the DL:
LF Kade Cummins - Suffered a torn labrum on a defensive play and will be out for the season. Cummins had yet to regain the production he displayed in his rookie season, and will now have an extra couple of months to prepare for 2032.
Recalled from Santa Fe (AAA):
OF Roman Reyes - Twenty-three year old Reyes had been spending some time in Santa Fe following his recovery from a knee injury to gain some experience in the outfield corners. Hitting .246/.337/.434 in Long Beach this year, the lefty will be taking Cummins' spot in the lineup against RHP.
SP Esteban Gil - Gil returns to the big league rotation following a rehab assignment recovering from a strained forearm.
Added to 40-man and activated:
RP Sake Kievit - Kievit cleared waivers for the second time this season and was placed back on the 40 man roster. He was activated today and will serve as a lefty specialist in the pen.
1B Roberto Perez - Left handed hitter Perez has been activated to serve as a pinch hitter off the bench for the Surfers. Relegated to AAA following the acquisition of
Mark Simpson, Perez failed to draw any interest from other teams. The Surfers have taken advantage of space on the 40 man to add an excellent hitter to the bench for the stretch run.
