The Minnesota Twins traded infielder Vidal Bruján to the New York Mets for cash after designating him for assignment. Bruján, a former top prospect with limited big-league success and no minor-league options, now faces a waiver-driven path and a spot on the Mets’ depth chart as they adjust infield options ahead of Opening Day.
Kyle Schwarber nearly made baseball history with a fifth home run in a game where he hit four, but a surprising pitch from Vidal Bruján prevented the feat, ending the moment in an anticlimactic infield fly instead of a historic fifth homer.
The Chicago Cubs designated utility player Vidal Brujan for assignment to make room for Moises Ballesteros, amid ongoing roster adjustments due to injuries, with Brujan's limited offensive performance and versatile defensive role being key factors.
The Texas Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 8-4 in a game that saw a costly error by Vidal Brujan open the door for the Rangers offense. Corey Seager hit a two-run bomb in the sixth inning to extend the Rangers' lead. The Rays attempted a comeback in the fourth inning, scoring four runs, but ultimately fell short. Shane McClanahan will start for the Rays in the rubber match.
The Tampa Bay Rays made the most of their forced off-day by beating the Boston Red Sox 4-1, thanks to a solid start from Shane McClanahan and a five-hit rally that led to three fifth-inning runs. The Rays returned home with a 4-3 mark on their extended trip to Chicago and Boston, and a majors-best 43-19 record. The defense also made several key plays, including a dazzling double play by Vidal Brujan to end the sixth inning.
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed infielder Brandon Lowe on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his lower back, with the move being retroactive to June 4. Infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan has been recalled from Triple-A Durham to take Lowe’s spot on the roster. Lowe has been struggling with a slump, with his OPS plummeting by more than 250 points since his impressive power display early in the season. The Rays have not yet provided any sort of timetable for his return to the roster.
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed outfielder Jose Siri on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Utilityman Vidal Brujan has been called up from Triple-A to take Siri’s place on the active roster. Siri had a great start to the season with a .318/.333/.682 slash line and two home runs in his first 24 plate appearances. The Rays have depth options in place to fill in for injured players, as any of Manuel Margot, Josh Lowe, or Brujan are likely to see time in center field until Siri returns.
