The Tigers signed File to a minor-league contract Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

File spent most of the 2025 season at Double-A Arkansas in the Mariners organization, posting a 4.74 ERA and 98:35 K:BB over 125.1 frames. The 29-year-old has previously been on the Brewers' 40-man roster but has yet to make his major-league debut.

File signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

FIle, 27, spent last season in the Korea Baseball Organization after holding a 4.57 ERA over 19 starts and seven relief appearances at Triple-A Nashville in the Brewers organization in 2022. The righty is slated to begin the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Reno.

File was released by the Brewers on Wednesday and will pursue an opportunity with the KBO in Korea.

EDGE Analysis

File spent all of last season in Triple-A Nashville, recording a 4.57 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 114.1 innings. He spent a year and a half on Milwaukee's 40-man roster between November 2020 and May 2022, but he was never able to earn a big-league promotion. So, rather than spend another season in the minors, the 26-year-old righty opted to play overseas and signed with the Doosan Bears of the KBO. If he can put up solid numbers in Korea over a season or two, there is a chance that File will receive some offers from MLB teams interested in bringing him back to North America.

File was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

File was sent to the minors in late March, and he's posted a 4.10 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 37.1 innings over eight appearances (seven starts) in Nashville this year. He'll presumably remain with the Triple-A club after losing his spot on the 40-man roster.

The Brewers optioned File from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

File was one of five 40-man roster players that the Brewers demoted to Triple-A in the team's latest round of cuts from big-league camp. The 25-year-old righty made nine starts for Nashville in 2021, logging a 5.27 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 42.2 innings.

The Brewers reinstated File (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

File will stick around in Nashville after he completed his third rehab outing with the affiliate Saturday, and his seventh rehab start overall. The 25-year-old right-hander has been on the shelf all season while recovering from the surgery he required in the spring to address a fractured elbow, but he looks to be fully built up for a spot in the Nashville rotation. He was dominant in Saturday's 11-1 win over Toledo, striking out eight over 5.2 innings while permitting one run on two hits and no walks.

File (elbow) will shift his rehab assignment from High-A Wisconsin to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nashville marks the third stop of File's minor-league assignment, which initially began earlier this month at the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate. Over his two-appearance stint at Wisconsin, File tossed five innings, giving up four runs on seven hits and four walks. File currently resides on the big club's 60-day injured list, but once he's reinstated, he'll most likely stick around at Nashville rather than joining the Milwaukee bullpen.

File (elbow) made the third appearance of his rehab assignment Saturday for High-A Wisconsin, covering 2.1 innings while giving up one run on two hits and two walks and striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

File, who has been on the 60-day injured list all season while recovering from offseason elbow surgery, made his first two rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League earlier this month before heading to Wisconsin. The 25-year-old tossed 49 pitches in Saturday's outing and looks like he'll be stretched out for starting duty during his rehab assignment. Once reinstated from the 60-day IL, File will most likely be assigned to Triple-A Nashville or Double-A Biloxi.

File (elbow) began a rehab assignment with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate earlier this month. He's covered 4.2 innings across his two appearances, giving up two earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

File remains 60-day injured list, and he'll presumably need to make at least a couple more rehab outings before being reinstated. The 25-year-old right-hander is working his way back from February surgery to address a stress fracture in his elbow. Expect the Brewers to option File to Double-A Biloxi once he's activated from the IL.

File (elbow) was recalled from Double-A Biloxi and placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right elbow in February, so it's not a major surprise to see the Brewers move him to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. File was expected to be sidelined 2-to-3 months following the procedure, though it's unclear where he currently stands in his recovery.
