Mets' Rymer Liriano: Heads to minors camp
The New York Mets assigned Rymer Liriano to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.Even with three lineup regulars (Jed Lowrie, Yoenis Cespedes and Todd Frazier) for the Mets seemingly on track to begin the season on the injured list, there wasn't a clear path for Liriano to break camp with the big club.

Angels' Rymer Liriano: Inks minors pact with Angels
Rymer Liriano signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Angels, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.A former top prospect, Liriano will join a new organization after hitting .256/.323/.416 with 17 home runs and seven steals in 123 games with the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate last season. Liriano's power is intriguing, but his speed has tailed off in recent years, and he has largely struggled to hit enough to profile as a big-league piece. He will serve as organizational outfield depth and will get a chance to make the team this spring as the fourth outfielder.

Rymer Liriano: Hits open market
Rymer Liriano was outrighted by the White Sox on Wednesday.The White Sox opted to dump Liriano from the 40-man roster, and the 26-year-old in turn becomes a minor-league free agent. He missed all of 2016 after being hit in the face by a pitch during spring training, but returned to hit 17 homers in 123 games with Triple-A Charlotte this season. However, he also struck out 133 times in 500 plate appearances, and Liriano will need to make more consistent contact if he's to ever carve out a significant role at the big-league level.

White Sox's Rymer Liriano: Contract purchased, starts Saturday
Rymer Liriano started in left field and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.Liriano had his contract purchased from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday after the Chicago White Sox placed Leury Garcia (thumb) on the 10-day disabled list. With both Garcia and Nicky Delmonico (wrist) sidelined, Liriano could be a regular in the starting lineup. The 26-year-old is a former top-100 prospect who spent time with manager Rick Renteria when the two were in the Padres organization. Trades have improved the organization's outfield prospects, so the White Sox aren't looking at Liriano as anything other than a stop-gap solution, although he could use the final month of the season to work his way into the outfield rotation for 2018.

White Sox's Rymer Liriano: Contract purchased from Triple-A
Rymer Liriano's contract was purchased from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.Once a top prospect in the Padres' system, Liriano has floundered over the past couple seasons, in part due to injuries. He played 38 games in the majors in 2014, but has been confined to Triple-A since then. Liriano hit .256/.323/.416 with 17 home runs and seven steals in 500 plate appearances in the International League. With Leury Garcia (thumb) on the DL, there should be a handful of starts waiting for Liriano over the next couple weeks.
