Cameron Rupp News
The Seattle Mariners signed free-agent catcher Cameron Rupp to a minor league deal on Monday, and he'll report to Triple-A Tacoma. Rupp could eventually become the backup to Mike Zunino in the second half, but he'll need to pick it up in the minors in order to get that opportunity. Chris Herrmann and David Freitas have been filling in with Zunino on the disabled list. Rupp hasn't played in the majors in 2018 but has combined to hit just .226 with 11 home runs and 32 RBI in 52 games in the minors with the Twins and Rangers. He's unlikely to become fantasy relevant.
Minnesota Twins catcher Cameron Rupp will be reporting to Triple-A after signing a minor league deal with the organization. With Jason Castro out for the season, Rupp will likely only be in the minors for a short time. Rupp was previously with the Texas Rangers in the minor leagues and opted out of his deal last week. If Rupp takes a starting job, he may be a factor in deeper leagues or two-catcher leagues.
One day after designating him for assignment to make room for Drew Hutchison, the Philadelphia Phillies officially released Cameron Rupp, ending his tenure with the club. The 29-year-old played a significant number of games for the club the past three seasons, enjoying his best campaign in 2016. That year, he took part in 105 games, hitting .252 with 16 home runs and 54 RBI, all career highs. Last season, however, he didnt see improvements, instead declining in quality. This year, he entered Spring Training in a fight for the backup catcher role, as Jorge Alfaro was the clear starter for the club. Rupps struggles continued, resulting in his release.
