Jairo Manuel Asencio (born May 30, 1983) is a former professional baseball right-handed pitcher. He has played for the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, and Baltimore Orioles in MLB. He spent 2014 with the Kia Tigers of the KBO League.

Career

[edit]

Pittsburgh Pirates

[edit]

Asencio was first signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2001.[1]

Atlanta Braves

[edit]

He was placed on the Atlanta Braves 40-man roster for the first time in 2009 when he made three appearances for the major league team, and later on April 16, 2011, to replace the disabled Peter Moylan.[2] His Major League debut was on July 12, 2009, against the Colorado Rockies. On April 28, 2011, Asencio was optioned back to the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves.[3]

For the entire 2010 Atlanta Braves season, Asencio was on the team's restricted list because of visa problems. It was discovered later in the year that Asencio had used a false name, Luis Valdez, and birthdate.[4][5]

Cleveland Indians

On March 29, 2012, Asencio was traded to the Cleveland Indians for cash considerations.[6] Asencio was designated for assignment on May 28, 2012.[7]

Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs claimed Asencio off waivers on June 1, 2012.[8]

Milwaukee Brewers

On November 5, 2012, Asencio signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers that included an invitation to spring training.[9]

Baltimore Orioles

[edit]

On March 25, 2013, Asencio was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for a player to be named later or cash. He started the season with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides. Asencio was recalled by the Orioles on July 12,[10] and pitched one inning of relief against the Toronto Blue Jays that night. He was designated for assignment on July 28.[11] Asencio cleared waivers and was sent outright to Norfolk on July 31.[12] He elected free agency on October 4.[13]

Kia Tigers

[edit]

Asencio signed a deal with the Kia Tigers of the KBO League for the 2014 season.[14][15]

Chicago White Sox

[edit]

On January 22, 2015, he signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox.[16] He was released on May 29.[17]

Leones de Yucatán

[edit]

On April 18, 2017, Asencio signed with the Leones de Yucatán of the Mexican League. In 25 games for Yucatán, he compiled a 2–1 record and 2.42 ERA with 28 strikeouts across 26 innings pitched. Asencio was released on June 6.
