The Giants released Carroll from his minor-league contract Aug. 23.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll submitted a 7.62 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in 39 innings at Triple-A Sacramento before he was handed his walking papers. The 29-year-old right-hander last appeared in the majors with the Orioles in 2020, when he made three relief appearances.

Carroll signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll made 25 relief appearances at the Triple-A level in 2021 and recorded a 5.63 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 24 innings. He hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2020 but will likely have a chance to compete as a non-roster invitee this spring.

The Orioles released Carroll on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore no longer had interest in keeping Carroll on the Triple-A Norfolk roster after he posted a 5.57 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 22 relief appearances with the affiliate. The 28-year-old right-hander will look to land a minor-league deal with another organization.

Carroll cleared outright waivers and will remain at the Orioles' alternate training site.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll was recently removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster, and he'll remain in the organization with approximately one week remaining in the regular season. The right-hander allowed 12 runs on nine hits and five walks over two innings across three relief appearances in 2020.

Carroll was returned to the Orioles' alternate training site Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll served as the 29th man for Friday's pair of contests against the Nationals, but he struggled mightily in relief. He allowed six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings. He'll head back to alternate camp, and the team could use caution before bringing him up again given his lack of results Friday.

Carroll was optioned to Baltimore's alternate camp site Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

This move frees up a roster spot for Thursday's starter, John Means, who was reinstated from the injured list. Carroll struggled across his only two appearances of the season, recording just one out and allowing six runs on three hits and four walks.

Carroll (back) said Wednesday that he's made a full recovery from the microdiscectomy surgery he required last summer, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll was plagued by lower-back problems coming out of spring training in 2019 and missed most of the season after he had a piece of a disk shaved off to address his ongoing discomfort. The right-hander was able to make one rehab start for the Orioles' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate before heading to the Arizona Fall League for eight more appearances, avoiding any further setbacks along the way. With his health now intact, Carroll will look to win a relief job with the big club this spring.

Carroll (back) will resume throwing Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll has been out since the start of the season with lower-back soreness. He could eventually push for a big-league bullpen spot once healthy, but his 9.00 ERA in 17 innings at the highest level last season doesn't give him a very good case for a major-league spot.

Carroll is experiencing soreness in his lower back and will begin the season on the injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the injury remains unclear at this time, but Carroll is not expected to miss significant time. The 26-year-old, who was optioned to Triple-A during spring training, saw time in the majors last season, allowing seven homers over just 17 innings while finishing with an ERA of 9.00. As of now, Carroll is expected to provide bullpen depth for the Orioles throughout the season.

Carroll was sent to minor-league camp Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll compiled a solid 2.57 ERA and 9:1 K:BB through seven appearances (7.0 innings) this spring, but it wasn't enough to earn him a spot on Baltimore's Opening Day roster. The right-hander will provide bullpen depth for the Orioles throughout the season.
