Ponce de Leon signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon went unsigned all winter after struggling to a 6.52 ERA in 116 innings (26 starts) last season between the Triple-A affiliates of the Mariners, Nationals and Tigers. The 31-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2021 with the Cardinals. He'll head to Triple-A Charlotte.

Ponce de Leon, who signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Sept. 9, has produced a 1.69 ERA and 0.88 WHIP while striking out 15 in 16 innings across his first three starts with Triple-A Toledo.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers are the fourth organization that Ponce de Leon has been a part of in 2022 after prior stints with the Angels, Mariners and Nationals. Though he made at least two starts in the big leagues in each of the past four seasons, the 30-year-old has yet to surface in the majors in 2022 after turning in a collective 6.52 ERA in 116 innings at Triple-A. His strong finish to the campaign at Toledo could be enough to convince the Tigers to keep Ponce de Leon in the fold for 2023, though the veteran right-hander could choose to elect free agency this winter.

Ponce de Leon signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon has spent time on minor-league deals with the Angels and Mariners this year, and he'll have a chance to carve out a role in the Nationals' system now that the All-Star break is over. The right-hander made 16 starts at Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the year and posted a 7.95 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 71.1 innings.

The Mariners released Ponce de Leon from his minor-league contract Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon attended big-league spring training, but he never came particularly close to winning a spot on the Mariners' Opening Day roster and did little during his time at Triple-A Tacoma to make a case for a call-up. Over 16 starts in the Pacific Coast League, Ponce de Leon turned in a 7.95 ERA and 1.67 WHIP while striking out 80 and giving up 16 home runs over 71.1 innings.

Ponce de Leon signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Saturday, Tacoma Rainiers broadcaster Mike Curto reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce was a non-roster invitee with the Angels this spring but was ultimately released by the organization Monday. The right-hander will start the second game of a doubleheader at Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

The Angels released Ponce de Leon on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon attended the Angels' big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, but he was reassigned to the minors last week after failing to secure a spot in the big club's Opening Day rotation or bullpen. Though Ponce de Leon was expected to provide starting depth at Triple-A Salt Lake, the Angels will instead allow him to pursue work elsewhere to begin the 2022 season.

The Angels reassigned Ponce de Leon to their minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon was one of non-roster invitees sent back to the minors as the Angels look to trim down their big-league camp group ahead of Opening Day. He's expected to slot into the rotation at Triple-A Salt Lake to begin the campaign and will give the Angels some established starting depth in the upper minors. Ponce de Leon has made 22 starts in the majors with St. Louis across the past four seasons, compiling a 4.33 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 147.2 career innings.

Ponce de Leon signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon recorded a 3.31 ERA in 12 starts and 12 relief appearances across his first two MLB campaigns (2018 and 2019), but he's been unable to get back to that level since then. Over the last two seasons, he owns a 5.59 ERA in 66 innings of work. He could potentially enter the Angels' rotation at some point this year if he proves he's back to somewhere close to his previous form, but the fact that he was stuck settling for a minor-league deal indicates that teams don't have particularly high expectations for him.

Ponce de Leon was released by the Cardinals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon was designated for assignment Monday and outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday after he went unclaimed on waivers. He'll try to resurrect his career with a new team after posting a 6.21 ERA across 33.1 innings in the majors this season.

Ponce de Leon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ponce de Leon was designated for assignment Monday, but he'll remain in the organization after he went unclaimed on waivers. The right-hander posted a career-worst 6.21 ERA in 33.1 innings with the major-league club this year but has tossed nine scoreless innings across five starts in Memphis this year.
