Cameron Maybin (OF, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues. ANALYSIS: The 26-year-old Maybin (knee, wrist) will embark on a rehab assignment with the Padres Triple-A affiliate today (Tuesday) and spend over a week there to ensure that he's healthy.

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: The Tribe's #8 organizational prospect according to MLB.com makes his major league debut today after posting solid numbers across AA and AAA this season.
