Claudio (hip) arrived at spring training Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio missed the first week of spring training due to a right hip infection, but he was cleared to join the team Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, the southpaw should have plenty of time to prepare for Opening Day.

Claudio's arrival at spring training will be delayed due to a right hip infection, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio will be unable to compete at the start of spring training due to his hip issue. Manager Joe Maddon said the reliever should miss 1-to-2 weeks, although he said Claudio could also be sidelined longer. Once he's fully healthy, the southpaw should mainly work in low-leverage situations for his new club.

Claudio signed a one-year, $1.13 million contract with the Angels on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio made at least 66 relief appearances in each of the three seasons leading up to the abbreviated 2020 campaign. However, he has a lackluster average fastball velocity of 85.9 mph and has posted a 4.28 ERA over the past three seasons. The southpaw should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations for Los Angeles.

Claudio was non-tendered by the Brewers on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio had a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 19 innings for the Brewers last season. The soft-throwing lefty led the team with 83 appearances during 2019 and posted similar numbers.

Claudio threw a clean ninth inning in Milwaukee's 7-1 victory over Cleveland on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers were well ahead on the scoreboard heading into the final frames Friday, so the team's regular late-game relievers got the night off and Claudio got the chance to seal the deal. Claudio has finished six games this season and even has a save, but he generally works in middle relief.

Claudio allowed one run (none earned) but did not allow a hit or a walk while striking out one to earn the save Saturday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio got the save chance as Josh Hader was likely unavailable after tossing 1.1 innings and throwing 35 pitches Friday night. Claudio came into pitch in the 10th inning, and did not allow a hit or walk, but the runner starting on second base did score to cut the lead to one. It was Claudio's first save of the season, and he isn't likely to see many more with Hader accounting for the vast majority of save chances for the club.

Claudio recorded two outs out of the bullpen and allowed one earned run in Monday's extra-inning victory over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio was not sharp Monday and allowed a one-run deficit to turn into a four-run margin, but he did limit the damage enough to allow the Brewers to come back and win Monday's contest. Claudio led all relievers in appearances last season with 83, and he is being used similarly thus far, being summoned from the bullpen in two of the Brewers' first four games.

Claudio has tossed a scoreless inning in three spring games and has allowed two hits while posting a 3:0 K:BB.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio signed a major-league contract with the Brewers over the offseason, which all but assured him a spot in the team's bullpen barring an injury or a rough spring. He is healthy and has been effective up to this point, so he is on track to open the year in the same middle-relief role he occupied in 2019, when he appeared in a league-leading 83 games out of the Brewers' bullpen.

Claudio signed a one-year contract with the Brewers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio appeared in a career-high 83 games in his first season with the Brewers last season, recording a 4.06 ERA with a 44:24 K:BB. The southpaw should continue to see heavy usage out of the Brewers' bullpen in 2020, although his value could take a slight hit as a result of the reported new rule that requires pitchers to face a minimum of three batters or finish the inning.

Claudio was non-tendered by the Brewers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio was a workhorse for Milwaukee in 2019, appearing in 83 games out of the bullpen. He posted a 4.06 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 44:24 K:BB across 62 innings.
