Abbott was traded from the Cubs to the Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations Thursday, Russell Dorsey of Bally Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday but will now get an opportunity with the Giants. Since the right-hander began the season in the minors, he'll likely head to Triple-A Sacramento to begin his time with his new organization. He made two appearances in Iowa early in the year and allowed three runs in six innings.

Abbott was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott began the season at Triple-A Iowa and will now lose his place on the 40-man roster after Mark Leiter's contract was selected by the Cubs on Saturday. Abbott has allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six in six innings in his first two starts in Iowa this year, and he'll likely remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Abbott was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott was likely always a long shot to break camp with the team after a poor debut season last year. In 17.1 innings, he stumbled to a 6.75 ERA and 12:11 K:BB.

Abbott didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first big league start, Abbott pitched well to every Cardinal batter other than Tyler O'Neill, who tagged the righty for two solo home runs, and enjoyed his best outing all season in what is likely his final appearance of the campaign. The rookie concludes 2021 without a decision in 17.1 innings featuring a 6.75 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB.

Abbott was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to start Friday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott had been in the minors since late July, and he posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 47.1 innings during that time. He'll make his first major-league start in Friday's series opener against St. Louis after he recorded an 8.03 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 12.1 innings across his first six big-league appearances.

Abbott was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott was recalled by the Cubs on Tuesday, but he'll return to the minors after he allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in one inning of relief during Wednesday's loss to the Reds. He could rejoin the Cubs as a low-leverage reliever at some point later in the campaign

The Cubs recalled Abbott from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty has pitched 11.1 innings of relief for the Cubs this season, posting a 6.35 ERA with eight strikeouts and seven walks across his five appearances. It's unclear what the intended role is for Abbott, who has been starting games for Triple-A Iowa but has been strictly a reliever at the big-league level.

Abbott was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott was only with the big-league club for two days and got knocked around in his lone appearance, allowing four runs in three innings of relief against the Phillies on Thursday. He now owns a 6.35 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 11.1 innings thus far in his rookie season.

Abbot was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander will rejoin the big-league club after spending the past couple weeks in the minors. He's worked out of the bullpen for the Cubs this season with four runs allowed over 8.1 frames in four appearances, but he's operated as a starter at Triple-A. Abbott and Trevor Williams should be in the mix for a spot start Sunday with Jake Arrieta (hamstring) landing on the injured list.

The Cubs optioned Abbott to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Abbott was sent back to the minors to make room on the active roster for Kyle Ryan, who was called up from Iowa in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old right-hander saw sparse action out of the Chicago bullpen upon being promoted June 5, appearing in four games while posting a 4.32 ERA in 8.1 innings. The Cubs will likely transition him back into a starting role once he rejoins Iowa.
