Ellington signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Friday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington will latch on with Boston after spending the 2018 season within Miami's organization in the minors. He hasn't pitched in the major leagues since the 2017 campaign with the Marlins when he accrued a 7.25 ERA and 1.86 WHIP with 48 strikeouts over 44. 2 frames as a reliever.

Ellington was released by the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington struggled in his recent opportunity with the Arizona organization to say the least, as he appeared in 10 games and posted a 31.50 ERA. He walked a whopping 16 batters and struck out only two, so it's no surprise to see the right-handed pitcher back on the free agent market.

Ellington (biceps) was added to Double-A Jackson's active roster earlier in the week and has made two appearances with the affiliate, giving up three runs (two earned) in two innings.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington signed a minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks in April, just over a week after he was released by the Marlins when he experienced biceps tendinitis during spring training. The injury kept Ellington on the shelf for the first three months of the season, but after he completed four rehab appearances in the lower rungs of the minors, it looks like he'll settle in with Arizona's Southern League affiliate. The right-hander has two seasons of sub-3.00 ERAs in the big leagues on his resume and could eventually be viewed as an option for the Arizona bullpen if he proves healthy and effective in the minors.

Ellington (biceps) signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic Arizona reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington had spent his entire professional career in the Marlins organization before being released in early April. He spent time in the majors in each of the last three seasons, tossing 102.2 innings with a 4.65 ERA. He's still dealing with biceps tendinitis so won't get into game action right away. When healthy, he'll likely join Triple-A Reno and attempt to pitch his way into a low-leverage role in the Diamondbacks' bullpen.

Ellington (biceps) cleared waivers Monday and was subsequently released by the Marlins, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has been out since the beginning of March due to biceps tendinitis, and it appears he didn't want to continue his rehab within the organization after being designated for assignment on April 1. Ellington will now search for a new home, though his current injury could make things a bit dicey.The 27-year-old struggled out of the Marlins' bullpen last season, producing a lofty 7.25 ERA in 44.2 frames.

Ellington (biceps) was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Ellington was sent to Triple-A just days before the season, which was more of a formality because he has been shut down due to biceps tendinitis. The team will now require his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for an extra arm, and chose to DFA him as opposed to moving to the 60-day DL. He appears to be a likely candidate to continue his rehab within the organization.

The Marlins optioned Ellington (biceps) to Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making his lone appearance in Grapefruit League play back on March 4, Ellington experienced biceps tendinitis and has been shut down ever since. It's unclear how close he might be to resuming a throwing program, so the expectation is that he'll open the season on the minor-league disabled list. Once the hard-throwing right-hander demonstrates he's healthy in the minors, he could be summoned to the big club and slot into a setup role in front of closer Brad Ziegler.

Ellington has been diagnosed with biceps tendinitis and will not undergo an MRI, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Ellington didn't complain of any injury in his Grapefruit League debut over the weekend, diminished velocity and a lack of control prompted the Marlins to send the 27-year-old for some evaluations. He'll now rest up until the soreness subsides. It's unclear how long this will set Ellington back, but there will likely be an update on his status once he's able to resume a throwing program.
