Fort Wayne TinCaps News Release


The San Diego Padres have made the following Minor League transactions:

Effective Friday, Aug. 31 - OF Agustin Ruiz transferred to Fort Wayne from Short-Season Tri-City (uniform: #16)

Effective Thursday, Aug. 30 - INF/OF Olivier Basabe placed on Fort Wayne's Disabled List

Ruiz, an 18-year-old from Villahermosa, Mexico, was signed by the Padres on July 3, 2016, for a signing bonus of $80,000. Ruiz only played in two games for Tri-City this year. But in 53 games with the Arizona League Padres this summer, the 6-foot-2, 175-pound left-handed batter slashed .290/.384/.466 with 11 doubles, 10 triples(!), a home run, and 28 RBIs. Those 10 triples are third most in all of Minor League Baseball since his season debut on June 19. He's considered an under-the-radar Padres prospect at this point.

The TinCaps now have 9 players on the DL.
