EDGE Analysis
Johnson, 28, spent split the 2023 season between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso in the Padres organization, collecting an .817 OPS with 19 home runs and 30 stolen bases. He's capable of handling all three outfield spots and last saw action in the majors in 2021.

The Padres signed Johnson to a minor-league contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder spent time in the Guardians, Mets and Nationals' organizations in 2022. Posting a sub-.600 OPS with each team's Triple-A club, Johnson showed little to suggest he belongs on an MLB roster this season, no less the talented Padres'. He figures to begin his age-27 season either at the Double-A or Triple-A level.

Johnson signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was traded from the Guardians to the Mets in late May, and he spent nearly a month on the injured list between June and July. He was let go by the Mets a few days after being reinstated from the IL, but he'll find a new landing spot with the Nationals, the organization that drafted him in 2016. Over 31 games at the Triple-A level this year, Johnson has hit just .188 with four home runs, 17 RBI, 10 runs and a steal.

Johnson was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Johnson was initially believed to be dealing with a hip strain after leaving Thursday's game at Triple-A Columbus, he'll be forced to miss at least a week after being diagnosed with a quad injury. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return after a minimal stay on the IL.

The Guardians reassigned Johnson to minor-league camp Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had been attending big-league camp as a non-roster invitee after the Guardians outrighted him to Triple-A Columbus in November. He saw action in 30 games with Cleveland in 2021 and hit .221 with four home runs and a stolen base while striking out in 27 of his 81 plate appearances (33.3 percent).

The Guardians outrighted Johnson to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Johnson was once a prospect of some repute, his underwhelming body of work across various stints in the big leagues the past two seasons likely played a factor in him going unclaimed off waivers after he was recently booted off the Guardians' 40-man roster. He'll thus remain in Cleveland's organization heading into 2022, but his lack of a 40-man spot could make it difficult for him to resurface at the big-league level. The lefty-hitting outfielder owns a .202/.245/.337 slash line (52 wRC+) across 94 career plate appearances with Cleveland.

Johnson was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson appeared in 30 major-league games last year and hit .221 with four homers, nine runs, five RBI and a stolen base. However, he spent the final few weeks of the season in the minors and will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster.
