Yardley was optioned to Triple-A San Antonio on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Padres in November and was competing for a spot in the Brewers' bullpen, but it appears he'll be in the minors when play resumes. Yardley spent most of 2019 at Triple-A and posted a 2.83 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 63.2 innings.

Yardley tossed a scoreless ninth inning and picked up a save in Thursday's spring game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Yardley won't be in the mix for saves when the regular season begins, but it is at least notable that he got the job done when given the opportunity. Yardley, who was effective in 10 relief appearances with the Padres last season, is competing for a spot in the Brewers' bullpen this spring.

Yardley was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Previous reports that Yardley had been released were evidently incorrect. Yardley will fight for a bullpen spot in Milwaukee during spring training.

Yardley was released by the Padres on Friday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old got into his first MLB action in 2019, posting a 2.31 ERA in 11.2 innings of work. His 13.5 percent strikeout rate casts some doubt on his ability to repeat that mark over a larger sample.

Yardley was designated for assignment by the Padres on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Yardley entered 10 games for the Padres in 2019, posting a 2.31 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with seven punchouts over 11.2 frames. He'll head to waivers following Monday's move.

Yardley was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Yardley has been impressive at Triple-A this season, posting a 2.83 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 52 punchouts over 63.2 innings, so he'll receive an opportunity to finish out the 2019 campaign in the majors.

Yardley is expected to be optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yardley was called up Wednesday to make his major-league debut. He's made two appearances overall, allowing three earned runs in three innings. He'll be optioned to make room for Austin Allen.

Yardley (0-1) took the loss against Cincinnati on Wednesday, pitching one-third of an inning and allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was called up Wednesday for his first big-league opportunity after 297 career appearances in the minors. His debut got off to an inauspicious start when Nick Senzel lined his first pitch to left fielder Josh Naylor, who misplayed the ball for a two-base error. After Jose Iglesias laid down a sacrifice bunt, Yardley allowed the following three hitters to reach base before exiting the game. Manager Andy Green attributed the rough outing in part to a "bad break" on the error, so perhaps Yardley will get another opportunity to prove that he can succeed at the major-league level.

The Padres selected Yardley's contract from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Wednesday's game against the Reds, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

A side-arming, 29-year-old righty, Yardley will make his first trip to the big leagues as the Padres stock up on extra bullpen depth in preparation for a bullpen game in the series finale in Cincinnati. Yardley has navigated the treacherous Pacific Coast League well this season, posting a 2.63 ERA while holding hitters to a .240 average in 61.2 innings.
