Claudio cleared waivers Monday and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio has more than six years of MLB service time and had the option of electing free agency, but he evidently felt that sticking around in the Milwaukee organization represented his best past toward a return to the big leagues. The veteran southpaw made just one relief appearance for the big club in late April before returning to the minors and then getting removed from the 40-man roster one month later.

Claudio was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran southpaw was the 40-man roster casualty with the Brewers bringing up Andruw Monasterio to replace Willy Adames (concussion) in the infield. Claudio has spent nearly all of the season to date with Triple-A Nashville, pitching to a 5.27 ERA, although the underlying numbers are better. He figures to remain with Nashville if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Brewers optioned Claudio to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio was called up Monday and appeared in the Brewers' loss to the Tigers later that day, allowing two hits while recording one out in the contest. He will now head back to Nashville as Tyson Miller replaces him in Milwaukee's bullpen.

The Brewers selected Claudio's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It's a return to the majors and to the Brewers for Claudio, who posted a 4.11 ERA over 103 relief appearances for the Brew Crew between 2019 and 2020. He had held a 3.00 ERA across his first seven outings with Nashville.

Claudio was added to Team Puerto Rico's roster for the World Baseball Classic, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio will serve as Edwin Diaz's replacement after Diaz tore his right patellar tendon Wednesday. Once Claudio returns from the WBC, he will most likely begin the season with Triple-A Nashville.

Claudio was assigned to minor-league camp Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio figures to begin the 2023 campaign with Triple-A Nashville and serve as veteran bullpen depth for the Brewers. The southpaw appeared in three games a season ago while with the Mets and hurled 3.1 scoreless frames, striking out two and walking two in the process.

Claudio signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal includes an invitation to the major-league side of spring training. Claudio spent most of 2022 at Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization and made three appearances with the big club. The 30-year-old was with the Brewers from 2019-20, posting a 4.11 ERA over 103 appearances.

Claudio elected free agency Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio will head to the open market after he cleared waivers three days earlier. The 30-year-old lefty, who made three relief appearances for the Mets in 2022, will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal this winter.

Claudio was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sept. 19 and has now lost his spot on New York's 40-man roster. The 30-year-old lefty made only three appearances for the Mets this year and didn't allow a run over 3.1 frames.

The Mets optioned Claudio to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio and Stephen Nogosek lose their roster spots as Max Scherzer (oblique) and Tylor Megill (shoulder) return from the injured list. Claudio has made three scoreless appearances this month and could rejoin the Mets at some point for low-leverage or lefty-on-lefty work.
