The Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization signed Irvin to a one-year, $1 million contract Friday, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

The $1 million price tag is the maximum allowable contract for a first-year foreign player. Irvin, who turns 31 in January, has collected a 4.54 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across parts of six major-league seasons. He held a 5.11 ERA over 111 innings between the Orioles and Twins in 2024.

The Twins designated Irvin for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin allowed five earned runs over just 3.2 innings during his brief time with the Twins, and he's now been DFA'd by two teams within the last 10 days. The left-hander carries a 5.11 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 111 innings on the year and would not be eligible for the postseason if a contender claims him.

The Twins claimed Irvin off waivers from the Orioles on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin remained in the Baltimore organization after being designated for assignment back in late July, but he did not pass through waivers this time around. The left-hander offers the Twins the versatility to be used as a starter or reliever, but he'll probably be bound for the bullpen after having not started a game since August. Irvin will officially join the Twins' 28-man active roster Tuesday.

The Orioles designated Irvin for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore has now DFA'd Irvin for the second time this season. The Orioles previously made the transaction in late July, with the lefty ultimately clearing waivers and sticking around in the organization. He received the call back to Baltimore on Aug. 20, and Irvin made four appearances (two starts) during his latest stint in the majors while logging a 4.97 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Right-hander Jacob Webb (elbow) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list to take Irvin's spot in the bullpen and on the 28-man active roster.

Irvin allowed a run on two hits and struck out two without walking a batter over three innings to earn the save in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin started last Tuesday, going 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers. Zach Eflin's return from a shoulder injury may have taken Irvin out of the rotation for now, but it's possible the 30-year-old southpaw gets a start this weekend against the Rays if Dean Kremer (forearm) isn't ready to go. Operating as a swingman in 2024, Irvin has a 4.74 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 73:25 K:BB over 106.1 innings while adding a 6-5 record, one save and one hold over 24 appearances (16 starts).

Irvin allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings Tuesday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin produced numbers nearly identical to those from his first start back after being called up from Triple-A Norfolk. He didn't give up much hard contact outside of a triple from Tommy Edman, but Irvin was pulled at 60 pitches and has now failed to reach five innings in any of his last five starts. With Zach Eflin (shoulder) expected to return Sunday, Irvin will likely either get sent to the bullpen or possibly bumped from the roster. He owns a 4.79 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB in 103.1 innings.

Irvin is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles called Irvin up from Triple-A Norfolk last Wednesday to make his first start with the big club since June 30. Injuries have hit the Baltimore rotation hard recently, which has resulted in Irvin getting his third trial in a starting role despite the fact that he has produced an 8.80 ERA in 30.2 innings over his last nine outings in the majors. He'll be at risk of moving to the bullpen -- if not being removed from the 40-man roster -- as soon as Zach Eflin (shoulder) and/or Grayson Rodriguez (lat) return from the injured list.

Irvin didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first appearance in the majors since July 29, Irvin didn't necessarily pitch poorly, allowing just a home run to Francisco Lindor in the third inning before New York scraped across a second run in the fifth. Irvin was ultimately removed in the fifth inning after throwing 83 pitches. Overall, the left-hander is 6-5 on the season with a 4.82 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB across 99 innings. While Irvin will likely head back to Triple-A, he could be needed again down the stretch as the Orioles deal with numerous injuries in their rotation.

The Orioles selected Irvin's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin will draw a spot start Wednesday against the Mets, filling in for the injured Zach Eflin (shoulder). The lefty seems poised to be sent back down to Triple-A after the outing, although it's possible he could change minds if he pitches well. Irvin has posted a 4.06 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 75.1 frames with the Orioles this season.

The Orioles will select Irvin's contract from Triple-A Norfolk to start Wednesday's game against the Mets, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being sent outright to Norfolk on Aug. 2, Irvin has allowed three earned runs over 6.2 innings, and he'll now be brought back onto the big-league roster to make a spot start. In 14 starts with the Orioles, the 30-year-old lefty has posted a 4.06 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 75.1 frames. He will most likely be sent back to Triple-A following his outing Wednesday.
