Ross announced his retirement from professional baseball Sunday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ross signed a minor-league deal with the Tigers in January, and he'll hang up his cleats after posting a 7.03 ERA over 32 innings at Triple-A Toledo. The 32-year-old last appeared in the majors in 2017 and posted a 3.92 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 266 career games with the Red Sox and Rangers.

Ross signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ross hasn't appeared in the minors since 2017, but he'll sign a minor-league deal with Detroit heading into 2021. He could serve as a non-roster invitee this spring, but he's unlikely to be a significant factor in the big leagues during the regular season.

Ross was released by the White Sox on Saturday, James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ross will look to catch on elsewhere after posting an alarming 11.45 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 11 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A Charlotte. His last big-league action came in 2017 with Boston.

Ross was placed on the minor-league disabled list with an undisclosed injury Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ross battled both back and elbow injuries in 2017, limiting him to just eight appearances. He joined the White Sox on a minor-league deal in the offseason and was lit up through his first five appearances for Triple-A Charlotte. Through 2.2 innings, he has a 30.38 ERA and a 44 percent walk rate.

Ross was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ross had been fighting for a spot in the White Sox bullpen after signing a minor-league contract in early March. The 28-year-old lefty battled elbow and back injuries for much of 2017, throwing just nine innings. He has a career 3.92 ERA and could be a factor in Chicago's bullpen at some point later this season once he proves he's healthy.

Ross signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox on Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Ross closed the 2017 season with the Red Sox, but was limited to just eight games due to elbow and back injuries. Now presumably healthy, the 28-year-old will look to get back on track as a left-handed relief option in the Chicago bullpen.

Ross (back) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Thursday, and chose to hit the open market instead of accepting an outright assignment from the team, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ross was placed on the disabled list in late May with inflammation in his throwing elbow, and then underwent back surgery in late August that effectively ended his 2017 season. He should be fully recovered by the time spring training rolls around, and will now look to latch on with a different organization within the next few months.

Ross underwent back surgery and is expected to be ready to return in the 2018 season, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Already on the 60-day disabled list with elbow woes, Ross will now rehab this additional issue through the winter. The southpaw will finish 2017 with a 7.00 ERA in only nine big-league innings.

Ross (elbow) has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list, Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moving Ross to the 60-day DL creates room on the 40-man roster to accommodate the promotion of Rafael Devers from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Ross (elbow) has started rehabbing at the Red Sox' spring training facility in Florida, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ross has been dealing with elbow inflammation since his last stint with the Red Sox and seems to be taking the first steps towards making a full recovery. The 28-year-old southpaw has allowed seven earned runs through nine innings with the team this season, a sharp decline after establishing himself as one of Boston's most reliable bullpen arms over the past couple years.
