Geoff Hartlieb<\/a><\/strong> to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. The move was announced by the Triple-A affiliate this evening.<\/p>\nHartlieb was granted his release from a non-roster deal with the Tigers last week. He\u2019s now on his third organization of the season. Hartlieb has made very brief appearances with the Yankees and Detroit. Opponents blasted him for eight runs in 3 1\/3 MLB frames. The 31-year-old righty has had a much better season in Triple-A. He carries a 3.57 ERA with a near-28% strikeout rate in 45 1\/3 innings at the top minor league level.<\/p>\n
A former Pittsburgh draftee, Hartlieb has made 68 big league appearances. He has allowed nearly eight earned runs per nine over 82 2\/3 career innings. He has a reasonable 4.18 ERA in parts of six Triple-A campaigns. Hartlieb leans most heavily on his mid 80s slider and has a 94-95 MPH fastball.<\/p>\n
Hartlieb will head to Omaha as non-roster relief depth. He\u2019ll try to pitch his way into a middle relief spot before the end of the year. He would return to minor league free agency at the beginning of the offseason if the Royals don\u2019t call him up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
