Araujo will play for the Chunichi Dragons in Japan in 2017, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was designated for assignment by the Marlins earlier on Friday and will opt to play overseas rather than ride busses stateside this upcoming season. As a result, he will not have any fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Araujo was designated for assignment on Friday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins made the Brad Ziegler signing official on Friday and needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, so Araujo was designated for assignment to accommodate. He has a 4.35 ERA in 62 big league innings and has yet to harness his pitches (12.6 percent walk rate) to the point that he can be an effective major league reliever.

Araujo was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Friday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old spent a good amount of time in the Phillies bullpen last season, but he found little success as his 5.60 ERA and 1.90 WHIP portray. Araujo misses a lot of bats, but his control problems could keep him in a Quad-A role despite the change of scenery.

Araujo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Araujo strung together a handful of strong appearances to begin the month of August, but he self-destructed Tuesday, allowing six earned runs while recording just one out in a 15-5 loss to the Dodgers. He'll head down to Triple-A to get straightened out, and the team will bring up Frank Herrmann to fill his spot on the roster.

Araujo was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to Tuesday's game, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Araujo's stay in the majors may be short. He takes the roster spot of Zach Eflin, who went on the disabled list Tuesday. The Phillies will need a starter for Saturday, and Araujo could be headed back to the minors then to accommodate that move.

Araujo is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace the injured Zach Eflin, Matt Gelb of the Philly Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Eflin heads to the DL, Araujo may get another chance to show why he deserves a spot with the big club. With a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP, he's failed to impress this season. However, he's had much better results with Lehigh Valley, where he owns a 2.63 ERA.

Araujo was optioned back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday following the loss to San Francisco, Ryan Lawrence of The Philly Voice reports.
EDGE Analysis
Araujo was recalled to the team prior to Thursday's game, but will be sent back to Lehigh Valley less than a day into his big league stay. Throughout the course of the season, Araujo has posted a 5.87 ERA with a 1.91 WHIP during 23 innings of relief at the major league level.

Araujo was recalled by the Phillies on Thursday, CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will replace Wednesday's spot starter, Phil Klein, on the roster, adding to the Phillies' bullpen depth. He has a 5.87 ERA in 23 big league innings this season. While his 25.2 percent K-rate is solid, his 11.7 percent walk rate has gotten him into trouble. He could be sent down next week when the Phillies presumably recall pitching prospect Jake Thompson to join the rotation.

Araujo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Araujo has been with the Phillies since mid-April, mostly pitching in medium and low-leverage situations. He gave up 10 earned runs over 11.0 innings in June, despite posting a 16:3 K:BB for the month. Adam Morgan will move from the starting rotation to the bullpen, with Vincent Velasquez (biceps) scheduled for a Monday return from the disabled list.
