The Diamondbacks reassigned Recker to their minor-league camp Tuesday, David Adler of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recker was no better than fifth in the pecking order at catcher during camp with Alex Avila, Jeff Mathis, Chris Herrmann and John Ryan Murphy all outranking him on the organizational depth chart. It's expected that Murphy will be optioned to Triple-A Reno before spring training ends, so Recker looks set to serve as his backup.

Recker signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Monday which includes an invitation to spring training, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Recker spent most of the season at Triple-A, posting a combined .244/.312/.392 slash line across 60 games split between Gwinnett (Braves) and Rochester (Twins). He'll likely spend the year in the minors as organizational catching depth given his career .199 batting average over seven major-league seasons.

Recker was outrighted off the Twins' 40-man roster Friday, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old spent the bulk of the season with Triple-A Gwinnett before being traded to the Twins along with Jaime Garcia. Recker slashed .223/.301/.381 in 139 at-bats for Gwinnett this season, and posted even worse numbers in his few opportunities with the Braves. The veteran catcher is unlikely to be more than organizational depth for Minnesota and currently holds no fantasy value.

Recker was traded to the Twins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop was an add-on in a deal that ultimately netted the Twins left-hander Jaime Garcia. Recker recently spent time in the big leagues while Kurt Suzuki was away from the team, but the 33-year-old has largely been an organizational depth piece for the Braves. He'll now join the Twins' organization, likely to fill a similar role.

Recker was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With Kurt Suzuki returning from the bereavement list ahead of Monday's contest, Recker's services were no longer needed at the big-league level. The 33-year-old didn't appear at all during this most recent cup of coffee with Atlanta, so he'll head back to the minors to act as organizational depth.

Recker was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett after Thursday's game, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kurt Suzuki is on the bereavement list and will return to the club Monday. Recker will provide depth behind Tyler Flowers for the weekend and probably will be optioned again once Suzuki rejoins the depth chart.

Recker was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of the AJC reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop was DFA'd on Sunday to clear a 40-man spot for the recently acquired Matt Adams, but Recker went unclaimed on waivers and will remain with the organization. With the way Tyler Flowers and Kurt Suzuki are producing with the Braves, Recker figures to be an organizational depth piece at Triple-A for the foreseeable future.

Recker was designated for assignment Sunday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves needed a spot on their 40-man roster for Matt Adams, and Recker drew the short straw. The 33-year-old catcher went 1-for-7 for Atlanta earlier this season and was hitting only .178/.288/.444 in 14 games for Triple-A Gwinnett, so assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers Recker will probably return to Gwinnett.

Recker was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop didn't see much playing time as the third option on the depth chart. Recker will camp out at Triple-A until he's needed again.

Recker is 1-for-7 and has started one game in 2017.
EDGE Analysis
As the Braves' third catcher, Recker's lack of playing time isn't too shocking. The 33-year-old slashed .278/.394/.433 in 112 plate appearances for Atlanta last season, but has taken a back seat to Tyler Flowers and Kurt Suzuki this season. While Flowers battled a hamstring ailment earlier this season, Recker saw a minor uptick in at-bats. Now that Flowers is healthy again, it's likely Recker will not see much action in the immediate future.
