The Rockies acquired Oswalt from the Phillies on Sunday for cash, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be changing organizations for the second time this season, after the Phillies previously acquired Oswalt from the Giants in early May. Between stops with the Giants' and Phillies' Triple-A affiliates this season, Oswalt has produced a 6.11 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

Oswalt was traded from the Giants to the Phillies on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Oswalt posted a 3.48 ERA in a small sample of 10.1 innings for the Mets last season, though that was only good enough to reduce his career ERA to 5.89. He's been poor in 12.2 frames for Triple-A Sacramento this year, struggling to a 7.11 ERA.

Oswalt (knee) is scheduled to pitch a simulated game at the Giants' minor-league camp Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Signed to a minor-league deal by San Francisco earlier in the winter, Oswalt looks to be ready to go for the start of the 2022 campaign after he concluded the 2021 season on a rehab assignment in the minors following a prolonged shutdown due to a right knee injury. The 29-year-old right-hander had served as organizational pitching depth for the Mets over the last four seasons, making 26 appearances (14 starts) in total for the big club. Though the Giants let Kevin Gausman walk in free agency earlier in the offseason and didn't add any new starters to the 40-man roster, Oswalt probably isn't a serious candidate to open the season with the major-league squad. Instead, he'll likely slot into the rotation at Triple-A Sacramento.

Oswalt (knee) signed a minor-league deal with the Giants on Thursday, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oswalt threw a total of 27.1 innings as a member of the Mets in 2021, 10.1 of which came with the big-league club. He managed an impressive 10:2 K:BB, but his next challenge will be proving that he has overcome knee inflammation that ended his season in early July. While he was unable to return to the big-league mound, Oswalt was in the midst of a rehab assignment at the close of the campaign, meaning it is likely that he will be healthy for spring training.

Oswalt (knee) cleared waivers and elected free agency Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Oswalt looked good in a tiny sample of 10.1 major-league innings this season, allowing four runs in 10.1 innings while striking out 10 and walking just two. He hit the injured list with knee inflammation in early July and wound up missing the rest of the year, though he did return for some rehab appearances near the end of the season, which could help him earn what will probably be a minor-league deal over the winter.

Oswalt (knee) made his third rehab appearance with Low-A St. Lucie on Sunday, tossing two scoreless innings while allowing no hits and issuing one walk.
EDGE Analysis
Oswalt looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list, but it's unclear if the Mets plan on activating him before season's end. Even with the active roster having expanded to 28 men in September, the Mets may not be eager to make a corresponding 40-man roster move to clear a spot for a low-leverage reliever like Oswalt.

Oswalt (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oswalt has been out for two weeks with what was originally called right knee inflammation. The issue is evidently serious enough to sideline him for at least 60 days, meaning he'll be ineligible to return until early September.

Oswalt was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee inflammation, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander apparently suffered the injury during his start in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees. He took the loss after giving up three runs on four hits with four strikeouts and a walk across four frames, and he didn't appear to be dealing with an obvious injury. Regardless, Oswalt will head to the shelf and be eligible to rejoin the active roster coming out of the All-Star break July 16.

Oswalt (1-1) lost Game 2 of Sunday's double header with the Yankees 4-2, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk with four strikeouts in four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start of 2021, Oswalt pitched well aside from a Gio Urshela three-run home run that ended up being his demise. He's now allowed four runs across 10.1 innings in three appearances this season, surrendering 12 hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts.

Oswalt is expected to start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oswalt pitched last Sunday against the Phillies and delivered four scoreless frames in long relief, so he should be able to provide some length in Sunday's nightcap. The right-hander has allowed a run on eight hits with six strikeouts and a walk through 6.1 big-league innings this season.
