He hit .220\/.256\/.244 \u2014 numbers that line up with his career totals of .206\/.259\/.312 in a small sample of 276 MLB plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p>It hasn\u2019t been a good showing, but the lefty-swinging Misner has posted big numbers in Triple-A Omaha this year: .286\/.378\/.563 (135 wRC+). He\u2019s popped 14 homers and swiped 14 bags while walking at a 12.6% clip against a 26.3% strikeout rate. That\u2019s by far the best Triple-A output of his career. He\u2019s played parts of three other seasons at the top minor league level and been a slightly above-average bat in each of them.<\/p>\n<p>Misner is in the last of his three minor league option years. If another team claims him or scoops him up in a small trade, he can be sent to Triple-A for the balance of the season without needing to first pass through waivers. Beginning next spring, he\u2019ll be out of minor league options and thus need to either stick on a big league roster or else be passed through waivers. With regard to his current DFA, Misner will be traded, placed on waivers or released within the next five days. The waiver process takes an additional 48 hours, meaning his period in DFA limbo can last up to a full week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.mlbtraderumors.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royals announced Wednesday that outfielder Kameron Misner has been designated for assignment.
