Holmberg signed a contract with the Milwaukee Milkmen of the American Association on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holmberg last pitched in the minors in 2018, when he recorded a 5.21 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 107 innings during 22 appearances (18 starts) with Triple-A Albuquerque. The 29-year-old will now head to the American Association for the 2021 campaign.

Holmberg joined the Rockies on a minor-league deal Monday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holmberg spent the spring with the Orioles but failed to make the team and was released. The 26-year-old lefty has thrown 119.2 innings in the majors without much success. He has a 5.49 ERA and an even worse 7.38 FIP. He's walked more batters (69) than he struck out (66). Even if he ends up in Colorado later this season, he's very unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset.

Holmberg was released by the Orioles on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holmberg will now look to latch on elsewhere after failing to establish himself in the Orioles' organization. The 26-year-old appeared in 37 games for the White Sox in 2017 (seven starts), compiling a 4.68 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 33:34 K:BB across 57.2 innings.

Holmberg joined the Orioles on a minor-league contract, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal does not include an invitation to big-league camp. The 26-year-old lefty made seven starts for the White Sox in 2017 and appeared a further 30 times out of the bullpen. He finished with a 4.68 ERA and an ugly 6.80 FIP, both of which beat his career numbers (5.49 ERA, 7.38 FIP). He's walked more batters (69) than he's struck out (66) in his major-league career. Even on a team with a weak pitching staff, Holmberg looks unlikely to claim a big-league job.

Holmberg was outrighted by the White Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Holmberg ousted from the 40-man roster, he's now free to explore his options as a minor-league free agent. Holmberg struggled during his time with Chicago this season, posting a 4.68 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 57.2 innings, and the peripherals suggest things could have been a lot worse (6.80 FIP).

Holmberg won't make his next scheduled start Sunday against the Giants and is expected to move to the bullpen at least temporarily, James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

White Sox manager Rick Renteria suggested that Fulmer would need to pitch well Sunday to earn future starts over the final month of the season, so if the right-hander falters, Holmberg or Dylan Covey could reenter the rotation. Holmberg had replaced the since-released Derek Holland in the rotation earlier this week, giving up six runs on six hits and four walks over three innings to take a loss Tuesday against the Indians.

Holmberg (2-4) allowed six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two over three innings in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Four of the six hits Holmberg allowed went for extra bases, including three home runs. The left-hander allowed runs in each inning pitched and that was enough for manager Rick Renteria, who went to his bullpen early. Holmberg is tentatively scheduled to start Sunday at home against the Giants, but given Tuesday's results, it's fair to wonder if he'll continue forward in the rotation. Carson Fulmer, a minor-league starter that pitched 2.2 scoreless innings Tuesday, could get the next opportunity.

Manager Rick Renteria confirmed Holmberg will start Tuesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Holmberg will enter the rotation in place of Derek Holland, who was sent to the bullpen after posting an 8.86 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in 11 second-half starts (42.2 innings). The 26-year-old doesn't carry much fantasy appeal in his new role, seeing as he owns an unsightly 6.00 ERA and 43:45 K:BB through 18 big-league starts (81 innings).

Holmberg is expected to start Tuesday's game against the Rays, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holmberg looks to be in line to enter the rotation in place of Derek Holland, who has posted an 8.86 ERA and 2.13 WHIP over 42.2 innings in his 11 second-half starts. The bar is low for Holmberg to offer improved production at the back end of the rotation, but his own body of work as a starter leaves much to be desired. In his 18 career big-league starts, Holmberg has tallied a 6.00 ERA and a 4.7 K/9 rate.

Holmberg was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old southpaw has gone back and forth between Triple-A and the majors this season, posting a 2.78 ERA in 32.1 innings at Triple-A and a 3.55 ERA in 50.2 innings in the big leagues. He has worked as a starter and reliever this year, but will likely spend most of September pitching out of the bullpen.
