Carrera was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrera struggled at the dish throughout spring training, and he'll finish with a .178 average along with four RBI and six runs scored over 22 spring games. He'll likely begin the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City after spending the entire 2018 campaign (43 games) at the Triple-A level.

Carrera signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Dodgers on Friday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrera's most recent season was his best, as he hit .282/.356/.408 in 325 plate appearances for the Blue Jays in 2017. He failed to reach the majors last season, though, and is now 31 years old with just one above-average batting line under his belt. He'll likely be forced to wait in the minors for an injury to open up a roster spot.

Carrera will not be on the Braves' Opening Day roster.
EDGE Analysis
Carrera recently joined the team on a minor-league deal after being released by Toronto on March 11. He is set to open the 2018 campaign at the Triple-A level which will keep him off the team's 40-man roster for the time being. Over 131 appearances with the Blue Jays last year, he slashed .282/.356/.408 with eight home runs, 20 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Carrera signed a contract with the Braves on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the deal is a minor-league contract which includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Carrera has found a new home after being cut loose by the Blue Jays over the weekend. The 30-year-old should compete for an Opening Day starting role in the Braves' outfield, though he's likely viewed as more of a stopgap for top-prospect Ronald Acuna, who is expected to join the big club in mid-April after Atlanta secures an extra year of team control. At the very least, Carrera will be in the mix for a reserve outfield spot after hitting a respectable .282/.356/.408 in 325 plate appearances with Toronto last year.

The Blue Jays granted Carrera his unconditional release from the team Sunday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrera's chances of breaking camp with the Blue Jays had already taken a significant hit earlier this month when he was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo, so the veteran was allowed to pursue opportunities elsewhere. After slashing .310/.376/.448 against right-handed pitching a season ago, Carrera could draw interest from teams searching for a platoon bat in the corner outfield.

Carrera cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
It turns out the Blue Jays were able to hold onto Carrera after designating him for assignment earlier in the week. He now figures to spend the 2018 season as organizational outfield depth for the Blue Jays.

Carrera was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
After signing Seung Hwan Oh on Sunday, Toronto opted to make room on the roster by designating Carrera for assignment. This move isn't a big surprise, as it was recently announced that Carrera's chances of making the Opening Day roster were slim due to the club's crowded outfield. While Carrera's performance in 2017 wasn't spectacular, he proved to be a serviceable outfield option as he hit .282/.356/.408 over 131 games.

Carrera is unlikely to earn a spot on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, the Blue Jays' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carerra was a fairly effective part-time outfielder for the Blue Jays last season, hitting .282/.356/.408 in 325 plate appearances. But the recent additions of Randal Grichuk and Curtis Granderson appear to have crowded him out of a job. If a teammate gets injured this spring, or if Troy Tulowitzki isn't recovered from his bone spur by the start of the regular season, Carrera could have a path to playing time, but if not, he's likely to be squeezed out. He's out of options, so if that ends up happening, he'll likely be finding work with another team.

Carrera signed a one-year, $1.9 million contract with the Blue Jays on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrera appeared in a career-high 131 games in 2017 (including 71 starts), piecing together the best offensive season of his seven-year MLB career. The outfielder slashed .282/.356/.408 and stole 10 bags on the year. He'll likely be utilized as a fourth outfielder heading in 2018, thus limiting his overall fantasy potential. He won't derive much standard value and looks to be just an AL-only option at this time.
