WINSTON-SALEM, NC (SEPTEMBER 2, 2011) - The Winston-Salem Dash announced today that LHP Joe Serafin has been sent to Winston-Salem from AAA Charlotte. In a corresponding roster move, RHP Orlando Santos (eye) has been placed on the disabled list.
Serafin made a spot start with the Knights on Monday and got no decision in five innings, where he gave up two runs (earned) on seven hits and struck out four. Charlotte eventually won that game against the Norfolk Tides.
The Tariffville, CT native made 24 starts this season for Winston-Salem, going 5-10 with a 5.48 ERA. He is the reigning Carolina League Pitcher of the Week for his performance at Salem last week, throwing seven scoreless innings and allowing five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. Serafin was drafted by the White Sox in the 37th round of the 2009 draft out of the University of Vermont, where he won America East "Pitcher of the Year" in 2008.
Santos was 3-1 with a 4.47 ERA in 27 games with the Dash. He had one save in two separate stints in 2011. He began the year with Winston-Salem before being sent to low-A Kannapolis in early May. He returned to Winston-Salem in late June.
The Dash roster remains at 24 players, one below the Carolina League limit.
