The Guardians released Knight on March 24.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland parted ways with Knight less than a week after reassigning him to minor-league camp when he was unable to win a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen. The 32-year-old right-hander appeared in six big-league games with the Rays in 2022, logging a 5.73 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 11 innings.

Knight was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Guardians on Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight was signed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training in February, but his bid to make the Opening Day roster comes up short. The former Tampa Bay hurler made six appearances with the Rays last season and posted a 5.73 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings, and he will now likely be a depth option with Triple-A Columbus.

Knight agreed to a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Wednesday that includes an invitation to MLB spring training, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays at the end of the 2022 season, and he elected free agency after he was sent outright to Triple-A Durham. The 32-year-old right-hander made six appearances for Tampa Bay in 2022, and he finished with a 5.73 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings. A strong spring training could see Knight earn one of the final spots in the Cleveland bullpen, but he's likelier to open 2023 in the rotation at Triple-A Columbus.

Knight elected free agency Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Knight chose to part ways with the Rays organization one day after the team was eliminated from the playoffs with a loss to the Guardians in Game 2 of the wild-card round. The 32-year-old righty previously made six relief appearances with the big club during the regular season, posting a 5.73 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings.

EDGE Analysis
Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays on Friday but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. The 32-year-old has appeared in six MLB games this year and has a 5.73 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 11 innings.

Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight's contract was selected from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, and he allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three in three innings over two appearances across the last two days. He'll be cast off the 40-man roster as part of a move to make room for Calvin Faucher and Cristofer Ogando on the active roster. It's not yet clear whether Knight will remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Knight allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two over 2.1 frames in his only outing after being called up July 2. He will now either be claimed by another team or report to Triple-A Durham. The move was made to create an open spot on the 40-man roster for Pete Fairbanks (lat), who was reinstated off the 60-day injured list Sunday.
