Two more released

The Wild Things made two more roster moves Friday afternoon, releasing a pair of Experienced players who were on the disabled list. Gone from the roster are outfielders Edinson Rincon and Ryan Mathews.

Rincon was one of three former Double-A players from the San Diego Padres system who were signed in the offseason. He played in only 13 games and went 8-for-43 (.186) with 13 strikeouts and two doubles. He had not played since May 31. Rincon never seemed to adjust to the Frontier League's style of starting pitching, with is heavy on the breaking balls and changeups.

Mathews began the year by playing one game with Oakland's Double-A affiliate, was released and signed by Fargo-Moorhead of the American Association, then released and signed by the Wild Things. With Washington, Mathews played in 6 games and went 2-for-21 (.095) with four strikeouts. With the three teams this year, Mathews is 2-for-36 (.056).

The Wild Things tried to trade at least one of these players but could not work out a deal.

Washington now has only one player on the disabled list, pitcher Zach LeBarron (60 day DL).
