Faedo cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After being designated for assignment by Tampa Bay earlier this week, Faedo will hit the open market. Faedo underwent season-ending thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in early August, and it's uncertain if he'll be available for the start of 2026.

The Rays activated Faedo (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Faedo never made an appearance at the major-league level for the Rays in 2025, having dealt with shoulder issues before eventually having thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August. He's eligible for salary arbitration but could be non-tendered if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rays announced Tuesday that Faedo (shoulder) underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery Aug. 6 and will miss the remainder of the season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Tigers in February, Faedo will conclude the season without having made an appearance at the big-league level for Tampa Bay. He's been on the shelf throughout 2025 after experiencing shoulder discomfort in spring training and then hitting multiple snags in his recovery in the ensuing months. Faedo had made enough progress to begin a minor-league rehab assignment June 27, but he appeared in just six contests before being shut down again shortly after the All-Star break and getting diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. Given that pitchers often struggle to bounce back from the procedure, Faedo profiles as a likely non-tender candidate this winter. Even if he keeps his spot on the 40-man roster or re-signs with Tampa Bay on a minor-league deal, Faedo's availability for the start of the 2026 season could be affected.

Faedo (shoulder) started a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Friday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faedo (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing due to neck and shoulder tightness, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faedo was scheduled to throw live batting practice Tuesday to begin a spring-training-type buildup. It's unclear when he'll be able to begin throwing again.

Faedo (shoulder) is scheduled to throw live batting practice May 6, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faedo has been sidelined since March 21 with the shoulder injury and is restarting his ramp-up process. He'll be out until at least late May, though he'll serve as a multi-inning reliever upon his return and may not need a full 30-day rehab assignment as a result.

The Rays transferred Faedo (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faedo has been battling through right shoulder discomfort since spring training, and his move to the 60-day IL means he likely won't return until late May or early June. The move makes room on the Rays' 40-man roster for Chandler Simpson, who was called up from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

The Rays placed Faedo on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right shoulder inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Faedo opened the season on the shelf after reporting discomfort in his shoulder following his final Grapefruit League appearance March 12. He's eligible to return from the IL beginning next Tuesday, but since he's currently shut down from throwing, Faedo is likely multiple weeks away from making his Rays debut.

Faedo will begin the season on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder injury, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rays manager Kevin Cash said that an MRI on Faedo's shoulder didn't reveal anything "too alarming," but the right-hander will be shut down for a bit. Faedo had been in line for an Opening Day bullpen spot but could now be sidelined into May.

Faedo (shoulder) tossed a live batting practice session Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a member of the Tigers last season, Faedo didn't pitch after Aug. 20 due to a strained right shoulder, but his ability to throw a live BP session in the early stages of spring training confirms that he's healthy. The 29-year-old right-hander will be competing for a spot in the Tampa Bay bullpen after turning in a 3.61 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 55:28 K:BB in 57.1 innings over his 37 appearances for the Tigers in 2024. Faedo doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so the Rays would have to expose him to waivers if he isn't kept on the Opening Day roster or placed on the injured list to begin the season.
