Dinelson Lamet Claimed, Pedro Severino Outrighted

Dinelson Lamet has thrown just 12 1/3 innings this season for the Padres, and they haven’t been particularly good, but he’s also flashed impressive stuff when healthy. That’s really been the biggest struggle, health having eluded Lamet. That said, he’s got a career 11.7 K/9 and just recently turned 30-years-old.

It was somewhat odd that the Brewers would take back a player with no desire to keep him, especially given the ability to ask for someone else in trade. At any rate, the Colorado Rockies found him desirable enough to put in a waiver claim, and he’s now headed to try and make things work at Coors Field.

Catcher Pedro Severino was suspended for 80 games before the start of the season when he tested positive for a banned substance. Prior to his DFA, he appeared in just eight games for Milwaukee and was 4-for-18. Severino has never been a good offensive catcher and he’s routinely been looked at as little more than veteran depth. Clearing waivers, he accepted the assignment to the Sounds.

A positive for Milwaukee, Severino remains in the organization at Triple-A Nashville should they need him again.
