Roach was sent to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Roach has 39 career innings at the big-league level, struggling to a 5.77 ERA. The 29-year-old is expected to return to Triple-A Charlotte, where he recorded a 2.65 ERA in 95 innings last season.

Roach will toe the rubber for the White Sox's first Cactus League game Saturday against the Dodgers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roach will get the starting nod for the White Sox first game, though it's unlikely to mean much moving forward. The right-hander looked good at Triple-A to start last season, but he faded when he spent the second half in Japan. As things stand now, he poses as little more than an organizational depth piece.

Roach signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The deal includes an invitation to spring training, though Roach seems more likely to open the season in the minors. The 29-year-old finished out the 2018 campaign in Japan after spending the first half of the season with the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate. While Roach posted a solid 2.65 ERA in 95 innings with Triple-A Charlotte, he stuggled to a 5.01 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB across 50.1 innings with the Orix Buffaloes.

Roach was cut loose by the White Sox on Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roach was granted his release in order to pursue an opportunity in Japan. Across 16 games with Triple-A Charlotte this year, Roach logged a 2.65 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 61 strikeouts in 95 innings.

Roach agreed to a minor-league contract with the White Sox in January, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

A veteran of 21 career appearances (two starts) in the majors, Roach spent the 2017 campaign in the KBO League with KT Wiz, accruing a 4-15 record, 4.69 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 165 innings. The 28-year-old will likely provide pitching depth for the White Sox at the Triple-A level in 2018.

Roach was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old journeyman arm is another 40-man roster casualty in Oakland's flood of Thursday moves. Roach's career 5.77 ERA in 39 career big-league innings reflects his lack of fantasy value.

Roach was claimed off waivers by the A's on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roach will join the A's after being designated for assignment by the Tigers on Saturday. Roach has options remaining, so the A's were able to assign him to Triple-A Nashville, where he will provide depth during the team's minor-league postseason run.

Roach was designated for assignment on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Roach failed to establish himself as a valuable source of bullpen depth after the Tigers claimed him off waivers in early August. This move allows Detroit to add lefty Joe Mantiply to the 40-man roster. Roach put up a 3.03 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB in 29.2 innings with Triple-A Toledo.

Roach was claimed off waivers by the Tigers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Roach was recently DFA'd by the Mariners to clear space for the ambidextrous Pat Venditte, but he didn't have to wait long to find a landing spot. He'll join the Tigers' organization, but he won't start at the major league level. Instead, the Tigers optioned him to Triple-A Toledo after claiming him off waivers.

Roach was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Saturday, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roach was removed from the 40-man roster to open a spot for Pat Venditte. He could garner a look on the waiver wire, but figures to remain with Triple-A Tacoma if he clears waivers.
