Hi Matt, the latest example I have is that in the MiLB Transactions the Fresno Grizzlies placed RHP Keichi Yabu on the Reserve List on April 23rd. I also noticed that Pawtucket placed Brad Wilkerson on the Reserve List and he subsequently retired.

Thank you for the verification on Pruitt. He is a rather intriguing player as he specialized in getting hit by pitched balls to get on base. And he is good at it.

Yes, Pruitt back to the A’s. Oakland dealt him a week ago to the Padres for RHP Chad Reineke.

Do you have an example of a player placed on the reserve list? It doesn’t come across in the weekly transactions files we receive. Might it be interchangeable with the temporarily inactive list? That’s what the Angels used recently to allow five Salt Lake players to attend Nick Adenhart’s funeral. It’s also what teams use to allow players to attend all-star games, like the Futures Game, and international tournaments, like the Olympics last year.

Hey Matt, thank you for your explanation of the Restricted, Suspended & Temporarily Inactive lists, but I am still confused by the Reserve List. The MiLB Transactions show players being placed on the Reserve List with no explanation. What is the Reserve List?

J.D. PRUITT back to A’s from San Diego? Or is this an error as he only recently went to San Diego?
Reflected in most recent minor league transactions of 27 April 09. Thank you for any info or correction.
