The Nationals selected Edwards' contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards received a well-deserved call-up to the big leagues after he struck out 17 hitters and issued four walks over 14.1 innings at Rochester while submitting an 0.63 ERA and 0.50 WHIP. The 30-year-old has seven prior years of MLB experience, but he's seen sporadic work in the big leagues in each of the last three seasons while turning in a 7.90 ERA over that stretch.

Edwards was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards served as a non-roster invitee this spring after landing a minor-league deal with the Nationals in late February. However, he'll begin the season at Triple-A Rochester after he gave up five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one in five innings across five appearances (one start) during Grapefruit League play.

Edwards signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards spent most of the 2021 campaign in the minors and logged a 2.65 ERA and 0.76 WHIP in 17 innings across 18 relief appearances at the Triple-A level. The right-hander will likely be at big-league camp once the lockout is over, but he hasn't made double-digit appearances in the majors since 2019.

Edwards (oblique) cleared release waivers and became a free agent Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards had been on the injured list since mid-June due to a left oblique strain, but he began a rehab assignment earlier in August. The right-hander made four relief appearances and allowed four runs (three earned) in four innings, but he'll seek out opportunities with other clubs now that he's healthy.

Edwards (oblique) will shift his rehab assignment to Low-A Dunedin on Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards started up his assignment July 31, working a scoreless inning that day for the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. After a week-and-a-half-long hiatus, Edwards is ready to make his next appearance. Because Edwards has been on the 60-day injured list since mid-June, he'll likely require several more outings in the minors before being activated.

Edwards (oblique) began a rehab assignment Saturday with the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, striking out two over a perfect inning.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards resumed game action after he was shut down for nearly six weeks with a left oblique strain. He'll likely move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Buffalo within the next week or two and should be ready to rejoin the Blue Jays when first eligible to return from the 60-day injured list in mid-August.

Edwards (oblique) has begun throwing bullpen sessions, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards is dealing with a strained left oblique and will be ineligible to return from the 60-day injured list before mid-August. Given that he's already throwing bullpens several weeks before his stay expires, however, he seemingly has a good shot to be activated when first eligible.

Edwards (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards landed on the 10-day IL with a strained left oblique Wednesday, and the injury will apparently force him to miss at least two months. The righty won't be eligible to return until at least mid-August. Outfielder Jared Hoying's contract was selected as part of a corresponding move.

Edwards was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left oblique.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Charlie Montoyo said the right-hander was "for sure out" after exiting Tuesday's contest with the injury, and he's now officially been placed on the IL. The severity of the oblique strain remains unclear, though Edwards is likely to be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum.
