Sadzeck (elbow) could resume throwing as early as Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck just went on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right elbow inflammation, so the news that he might be able to pick up a baseball again three days later is encouraging. If Sadzeck's recovery unfolds without setbacks over the next several days, it's possible he may not need a minor-league rehab assignment before activation.

Sadzeck was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck last pitched Sunday against the Angels, which appears to be when the injury cropped up. He's struggled out of the bullpen of late, allowing five runs (two earned) over his last four outings (4.2 innings).

Sadzeck, who fired two scoreless innings in which he recorded a strikeout during a loss to the Twins on Thursday, owns an 0-1 record, a 2.41 ERA, an 0.96 WHIP, one save and two holds across 18.2 innings this season.

EDGE Analysis

The towering reliever has been a valued asset for manager Scott Servais, filling a variety of roles in a bullpen that lost projected closer Hunter Strickland to a lat injury very early in the season. Sadzeck has now pitched two innings on four occasions, and he has six appearances of greater than one frame overall.

Sadzeck notched his first save of the season after tossing a scoreless inning and striking out one Thursday against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Following a late rally by the Mariners, Sadzeck was deployed for his first save chance of the 2019 campaign and managed to get the job done without any trouble. The 27-year-old seems like an odd choice with the game on the line, although with Anthony Swarzak ruled unavailable due to his recent usage, Sadzeck's name was called to toss the bottom of the 10th inning.

Sadzeck was added to the 25-man roster Wednesday and will join the team in Chciago prior to the start of a three-game series against the White Sox on Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck was acquired in a trade with the Rangers on Monday, and with the Mariners looking to stock up on as many late-inning options as possible in the wake of Hunter Strickland's (lat) extended absence, he'll be thrust right into action. The 27-year-old's fastball consistently sits in the mid-to-high 90s, making him a natural fit as an occasional closer in that sense. However, Sadzeck has also had trouble locating against big-league bats thus far, following up a 10.6 BB/9 in 13 appearances with the Rangers last season with eight walks over 8.1 Cactus League frames this spring.

Sadzeck was traded to the Mariners from the Rangers in exchange for Grant Anderson on Monday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck will join Seattle's active roster following the trade, and he figures to slot into a bullpen role. He posted a 0.96 ERA with a 7:11 K:BB over 9.1 innings a season ago through 13 appearances (two starts).

The Rangers designated Sadzeck for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck didn't have any minor-league options remaining, so after failing to break camp with the big club, he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster. In the event the right-hander goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll stick in the organization and report to Triple-A Nashville to begin the campaign.

Sadzeck allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one over two innings Friday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck is fighting for a one of the final spots in the bullpen and hasn't earned it based on his spring performance. Friday's results pushed his ERA to 8.59, and he's walked eight over 7.1 innings. The right-hander is out of options, which could work in his favor, bu the Rangers need to decide if he's a power arm with potential or a power arm that will never meet his potential.

Sadzeck allowed a run, walked one and a hit a batter while serving as the opener for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

This was the first time we've seen manager Chris Woodward deploy an opener this spring. He said Sadzeck is a candidate to open games if the Rangers decide to employ the concept during the regular season, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. Sadzeck has a 9.00 spring ERA, walking five over four innings.

Sadzeck walked two in a scoreless inning Monday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Sadzeck had retired all six batters faced in his first two spring outings but wasn't as clean Monday. The walks are and issue for Sadzeck, who ceded 11 free bases over 9.1 innings with the Rangers last September. In that sense, he's much like Ranger closer Jose Leclerc, who overcame control issues to become a dominant reliever.
