Jennings signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees assigned Jennings to short-season Staten Island, but he'll presumably make a handful of appearances in the lower levels of the minors before moving up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 32-year-old lefty previously made eight appearances at the big-league level with the Nationals this season, giving up seven runs over 4.2 innings before being designated for assignment in May.

Jennings has elected free agency, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was recently designated for assignment by the Nationals, which was not to his liking, so he will hope a better opportunity emerges on the open market. He had some success with the Brewers last season, but would be confined to a low-leverage role no matter where he latches on.

The Nationals designated Jennings for assignment Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings will cede his 40-man roster spot to waiver pickup Javy Guerra and his spot on the active roster to Tony Sipp (oblique), who was activated from the 10-day injured list. Valued as a lefty specialist for much of his career, Jennings has allowed eight of the 18 left-handed hitters he has faced this season to reach base.

Jennings (1-2) struck out two in a perfect fifth inning Thursday to record the win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Entering the game with the score knotted at 4-4, the veteran southpaw breezed through the top of the Mets' order before the Nats took the lead for good in the bottom half of the frame. Jennings has made seven appearances since joining the club and been scored upon in four of them, saddling him with an 11.25 ERA, and his low-leverage role leaves him with little fantasy ceiling even if he does turn things around.

Jennings' contract was purchased from Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings linked up with the Nationals in mid-April after failing to break camp with the Angels. The veteran lefty posted a 3.22 ERA in 64.1 innings for the Brewers last season and has a 2.96 career ERA over his seven-year career. Anthony Rendon (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list to clear a 25-man roster spot, while Austin Adams was designated for assignment to clear a place on the 40-man roster.

Jennings signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings has found a new home after being cut loose by the Angels prior to the start of the season. The veteran left-hander will head to extended spring training for the time being but is a candidate to join the Nationals' bullpen once he's deemed ready. Across 64.1 innings with the Brewers last year, Jennings notched a 3.22 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 45:23 K:BB.

Jennings was released by the Angels on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings was in camp as a non-roster invitee and endured a tough spring as he allowed seven runs on 10 hits through 6.2 innings. The veteran left-hander had a 3.22 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 45:23 K:BB across 64.1 innings with Milwaukee last season as he returns to free agency.

Jennings signed a minor-league deal with the Angels that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings posted a 3.22 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 72 appearances with the Brewers in 2018, but the team declined to tender him a contract and he subsequently hit free agency. The 31-year-old is likely to serve as a left-handed specialist as he allowed a .320/.399/.528 slash line to right-handed hitters in 2018, though his career splits aren't quite so extreme.

Jennings will not be tendered a contract for the 2019 season from Milwaukee, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers have decided to move on after just one season from Jennings, during which he recorded a 3.22 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with a 6.3 K/9 across 72 appearances. The left-hander was somewhat of a forgotten man in the team's bullpen as manager Craig Counsell only utilized him for a total of 17 innings after the All-Star break due to the varying degrees of success from his other relievers. Jennings will likely be able to find a new home and serve as a quality option against left-handed hitting for another organization in 2019.

Jennings started Monday's victory over the Cardinals and retired the first batter of the game before removed from the contest.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Craig Counsell chose to start Jennings in an attempt to neutralize the lefty-swinging Matt Carpenter in his first at-bat, and Jennings was able to get the job done. With a string of right-handed hitters following Carpenter, Jennings was then removed after that in favor of righty Freddy Peralta. Given the plan worked there's a chance Jennings could be used similarly before the regular season comes to a close, but otherwise expect him to continue working in middle relief.
