Edwards Jr.

The 33-year-old hurler was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake after being designated for assignment earlier in the week, but he’ll explore his options instead of remaining in the Angels’ organization. Edwards posted a 9.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and a 2/1 K/B ratio over three innings with the Halos.

Edwards went unclaimed on waivers after being removed last weekend from Los Angeles’ 40-man roster. The 33-year-old journeyman figures to elect free agency, but might wind up sticking around to see if he gets another shot with the Angels.

Edwards’ stay with Los Angeles winds up being just a couple days and a pair of relief appearances. The 33-year-old journeyman reliever should pass through waivers unclaimed and figures to elect free agency.

Edwards latched on with the Angels last month on a minor league deal and gets the call to the big leagues after spending a couple weeks in the minors. The 33-year-old veteran journeyman has made 296 career appearances in the majors since 2015.

Edwards Jr. will likely stay behind in extended spring training before reporting to Triple-A Salt Lake. The 33-year-old is just org depth at this stage of his career.

Edwards is back in the fold with San Diego as emergency organizational relief depth after briefly exploring his options on the open market. The 32-year-old journeyman made just one relief appearance earlier this month for the Padres.

Edwards was designated for assignment by the Padres on Monday and went unclaimed on waivers. The 32-year-old’s velocity has been down this season and despite some success in Triple-A, he may not get another shot in the majors until next year, if at all.

Edwards made just one appearance for the Padres and it wasn’t a good one, though he went without giving up a run despite allowing a hit and two walks while facing three batters. His velocity is about 2-3 mph down from his prime right now, and he’s probably not worth a waiver claim at this point.

Edwards inked a minor league pact with San Diego back in and winds up getting the call back to the majors after posting a 3.30 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 45/29 K/BB ratio across 46 1/3 innings 926 appearances, six starts) this season in the minors. The 32-year-old journeyman righty has made 295 career appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2015.

Edwards was cut loose back in mid-June by the Cubs after spending the first couple months of the year stationed at Triple-A Iowa. The 32-year-old veteran right-hander could be an option for San Diego’s bullpen at some point after the All-Star break.
