Hutchison signed a minor-league contract Thursday with the Phillies, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hutchison was granted his release last week from the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, where had posted a 5.66 ERA and 31:29 K:BB in 35 innings (nine starts) this season. The 32-year-old right-hander spent some time with the Phillies in 2018 and will return as organizational rotation depth.

Hutchison was released by the Blue Jays on Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hutchison exercised the opt-out clause in his minor-league pact with the Jays and will head back into free agency. The 32-year-old right-hander had registered a 5.66 ERA and 31:29 K:BB through 35 innings (nine starts) this season at Triple-A Buffalo.

Hutchison (oblique) struck out two and gave up one earned run on three hits and a walk over three innings Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo in the club's 7-2 win over Rochester.

EDGE Analysis

Hutchison battled a left oblique injury in the latter stages of spring training, but he was able to make enough progress in his recovery from the injury to avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list to open the Triple-A campaign. Though he doesn't possess a spot on the Blue Jays' 40-man roster, Hutchison still may rank near the top of the list for a promotion to the big club if Toronto's rotation depth is tested as the season unfolds.

Hutchison (oblique) was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Blue Jays on Monday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hutchison probably wasn't going to crack the Opening Day roster anyway, but an oblique injury ended any chances of that. He'll try to get healthy and get on track at Triple-A Buffalo.

Hutchison (oblique) is aiming to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Working his way back from left oblique tightness, Hutchison did some light throwing Sunday and is slated to long-toss from 120 feet Monday. The veteran right-hander probably won't be ready in time for Opening Day, but he seemed to be a long shot to make the roster, anyway.

Hutchison (oblique) will miss his next start, but the club is hopeful he won't be sidelined long term, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI showed no structural damage, and while he will not make his regularly scheduled start, which would have been Sunday or Monday, it sounds like his absence will be a matter of weeks, not months. Hutchison will serve as organizational rotation depth this season and is unlikely to make the Opening Day roster.

Hutchison is day-to-day with left oblique tightness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI didn't show any structural damage, which gives the Blue Jays hope Hutchison won't miss too much time. The veteran right-hander is competing for a role as a long man in the bullpen.

Hutchison signed with the Blue Jays as a non-roster invitee Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hutchison spent the past couple seasons with Detroit and had a 4.53 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 68:42 K:BB across 105.1 innings. The 32-year-old now rejoins the Blue Jays on a minor-league deal, though he'll also be present for big-league spring training.

Hutchison cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hutchison was designated for assignment Tuesday after he posted a 4.53 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 105.1 innings over 28 appearances (18 starts) in the majors this year. He'll be free to seek out other opportunities heading into the offseason.

Hutchison was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After turning in one of the better campaigns of his career in 2022 -- a 4.53 ERA and 1.48 WHIP -- Hutchison finds himself on waivers nonetheless. The decision to DFA him comes after the Tigers claimed Jermaine Palacios off waivers from Minnesota. Should Hutchison clear waivers, it's possible he may elect to test the free-agent market this offseason and sign elsewhere.
