Guardians option Karinchak to Triple-A

It has been announced this week that Guardians relief pitcher James Karinchak has been optioned to Triple-A. Karinchak has not had a strong year this 2023 baseball season, making him fall to the Minor Leagues. He has had an average ERA of 3.90 this season making this one of the reasons the Guardians made this roster move. Since the Guardians optioned Karinchak to the minors, here is what will happen next.

When the Guardians made this roster move, the main reason was because they want to bring up more young talent from the Minor Leagues. By sending Karinchak down, the Guards are promoting left-handed reliever Tim Herrin.

Herrin has had a great year so far in the minors. he started the 2023 season on the Big League roster with some nice stats. He began to struggle and was sent down to the minors, but has proven now he can potentially be on a Major League Baseball team.

Overall, the Guardians make roster moves like this all of the time. We will now be able to see if Tim Herrin will help the Guardians out as a relief pitcher.
