Adams returned to the Twins as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams struggled in his 16.2 innings for the Tigers last season, recording a 7.02 ERA and 13 walks. Prior to being claimed off waivers by Detroit in May, the 33-year-old pitched 18 innings for Triple-A Rochester within the Twins' organization, posting a more modest 4.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 28:6 K:BB. The veteran right-hander will have an opportunity to impress the big-league coaching staff this spring, but he will likely return to the minors given the amount of experienced arms that make up the Minnesota bullpen.

Adams cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has thrown 16.2 innings for the Tigers this season, struggling to a 7.02 ERA and a 14:13 K:BB. He'll remain organizational depth for Detroit.

The Tigers designated Adams for assignment after Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

A late-May waiver pickup from the Twins, Adams turned in a 5.14 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 13 appearances out of the Detroit bullpen spanning 14 innings. He'll be exposed to waivers once more but will likely stick in the Detroit organization and report to Triple-A Toledo if he goes unclaimed. The Tigers don't plan to formally announce a replacement on the 40-man roster for Adams until the club resumes its post-All-Star-break schedule July 12 in Kansas City.

The Tigers claimed Adams off waivers from the Twins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams made just two appearances with Minnesota this season, giving up five runs on four hits and three walks over 2.2 innings in relief before being designated for assignment. Since he doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, the Tigers will need to clear a spot for Adams on the active roster.

Adams was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams spent eight days on the Twins' roster, allowing five runs in 2.2 innings over a pair of appearances. He'll make way on the roster for Zack Littell, who was recalled in a corresponding move.

Adams had his contract selected from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Adams will join the big-league bullpen ahead of Thursday's series opener in Seattle. Addison Reed (thumb) was designated for assignment to free up a spot on the 40-man for the veteran right-hander, who compiled a 4.50 ERA and 14.0 K/9 in 18 innings at Triple-A before earning the promotion.

Minnesota is likely to call up Adams from Triple-A Rochester before Thursday's game against Seattle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins will need to add him to the 40-man roster to make the move. Adams has a 4.50 ERA at Triple-A but a 3.32 FIP and 14.0 K/9 in 18 innings. The 32-year old journeyman is likely to work in long relief and may not be in the majors for too long as the Twins continue to shuffle their bullpen.

Adams signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old had been pitching for the the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League. He's thrown 58.2 big-league innings in his career, struggling to a 6.29 ERA. He'll be assigned to Double-A Chattanooga.

Adams didn't make the Opening Day roster and was designated for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams poor 2016 showing carried over to spring training as he allowed eight runs over 11 innings (11 games). Although the possibility exists that he could make his way back up to the majors during the upcoming season, he'll likely serve as organizational depth.

Adams was acquired by the Angels for cash considerations Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The recently DFA'd Adams was hit hard over 19 appearances with the Indians last season, notching a 9.82 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP over 18.3 innings. However, he's just one year removed from a much stronger campaign in which he recorded a 3.78 ERA and a much more palatable 1.50 WHIP. If Adams can regain his 2015 form, he could be a serviceable middle reliever in Anaheim.
