Evans was reassigned Tuesday to minor-league camp by the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Evans signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training over the winter, but he'll at least begin the 2023 season in the minors. The right-hander has shown electric stuff at times, but his inability to command his arsenal has limited his chances at the highest level.

Evans signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Friday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Evans looked like a potential closer not that long ago with the Rangers, but he's always had control issues and his velocity really dipped in 2022. He can still miss bats, though, making him a worthy gamble on a minor-league pact.

Evans was assigned outright to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was removed from the Rangers' 40-man roster last weekend, and none of MLB's other 29 teams were willing to take a flier on him. The right-hander impressed in a small cup of coffee with the big club at the tail end of the 2020, but he was unable to build on that success in 2021, and it's all fallen apart for him at the Triple-A level this season (7.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, 14 walks in 12 innings).

The Rangers designated Evans for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction reopens a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Glenn Otto (illness), who was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Nationals. Evans has pitched exclusively for Triple-A Round Rock this season, logging a 7.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB across 12 innings out of the bullpen.

The Rangers optioned Evans to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was one of two Texas pitchers optioned to minor-league camp Wednesday, joining Yerry Rodriguez. Though he's performed well during his time at the Double- and Triple-A levels, Evans hasn't been able to translate his swing-and-miss stuff to success in the majors. Over 29 career MLB appearances spanning 30.1 innings, Evans owns a 5.13 ERA (5.28 xFIP).

Evans was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans spent just over a month in the Rangers' bullpen, but he struggled recently by giving up three runs in 2.2 innings across three appearances since Sept. 1. He'll attempt to sort things out in Round Rock after right-hander Dane Dunning (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 IL.

The Rangers recalled Evans from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Wednesday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Evans will rejoin the Rangers as a replacement on the active roster for starting pitcher Dane Dunning, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with an ankle impingement. Though he's posted some gaudy strikeout rates throughout his minor-league career, Evans hasn't shown enough control to emerge as a trusted late-inning arm at the MLB level. Through 13 appearances with Texas this season, Evans has submitted a 5.65 ERA and 1.53 WHIP while walking eight batters over 14.1 innings.

Evans was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was in the majors the past couple weeks and pitched well in four outings with zero runs allowed on three hits with five strikeouts and one walk over five innings. The right-hander has a 8.68 ERA in his other nine big-league appearances this year, but he's likely to receive another chance with the Rangers down the stretch.

Evans was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans will return to the majors after being sent down at the conclusion of Sunday's doubleheader. He's made 10 relief appearances in 2021 for the Rangers, posting a 7.15 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with a 16:8 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

The Rangers optioned Evans to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Evans' latest stint with the Rangers lasted just one day, as he was designated as the team's 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers. He tossed two scoreless frames in the Rangers' 10-0 loss in Game 2, allowing no hits and a walk while striking out two.
