The Nationals claimed Varland (undisclosed) off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Varland didn't pitch during the final three month of the 2025 season due to an undisclosed injury, and it's unclear what his current health status is. The right-handed reliever has collected a 4.82 ERA and 47:24 K:BB across 46.2 frames covering parts of two major-league seasons.

The Diamondbacks designated Varland (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Taylor Clarke. Varland has not made an appearance for Arizona, as he was a waiver claim in August and he didn't pitch the final three month of the season due to an undisclosed injury. It's unclear what his current health situation is.

The Diamondbacks claimed Varland (undisclosed) off waivers from the White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Varland hasn't pitched since June 28 due to an undisclosed injury but will give the Diamondbacks some experienced relief depth once he's available to pitch. The righty has put up a 4.82 ERA and 47:24 K:BB over 46.2 innings in parts of two major-league seasons.

Varland (undisclosed) was released by the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox designated Varland for assignment Thursday and he'll now hit the open market. A 28-year-old righty who has spent parts of the last three seasons at Triple-A, Varland hasn't pitched since June 28 due to an undisclosed injury. He has a 4.82 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 46.2 career innings in the majors.

The White Sox designated Varland (undisclosed) for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Varland had been on the White Sox's 40-man roster all season, but he had pitched exclusively in the minors before landing on Triple-A Charlotte's injured list in July. Over 5.1 innings with Charlotte, Varland posted a 5.01 ERA and 1.96 WHIP. He made his last appearance for the affiliate June 28 and was later shifted to the 60-day IL, so the White Sox apparently weren't counting on him pitching again until at least late August or early September. He's likely to go unclaimed off waivers and could go back on Charlotte's IL if he opts to stay in the organization and accept an outright assignment to Triple-A.

Varland (undisclosed) has given up one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out four over 2.1 innings in his two relief appearances for Triple-A Charlotte since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Varland missed two and a half months of action due to the undisclosed injury, but he's healthy again and will look to put together a slew of quality relief performances to earn a call-up to the big leagues. He posted a 3.42 ERA over 26.1 innings in 2024 between stops in the majors with the Dodgers and White Sox a season ago.

Triple-A Charlotte placed Varland on its 7-day injured list March 31 due to an unspecified injury.

EDGE Analysis

Varland made just one appearance for Charlotte before landing on the shelf less than a week into the season. The right-hander looks to be closing in on his return to the Charlotte bullpen, however, as he began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week. Varland retains a spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster, so he could be in the mix for a promotion to the big club later on this season if he can get healthy and pitch well at Charlotte over an extended stretch.

Varland was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Varland entered camp looking like a key piece of Chicago's Opening Day bullpen, but he struggled with his control during the exhibition slate, walking six batters over 7.1 innings while posting a 9.82 ERA, 2.18 WHIP and eight strikeouts. The righty reliever will look to get right in the minors, and there is a good chance he'll make it back up to the big-league bullpen at some point during the campaign.

The White Sox recalled Varland from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes with Steven Wilson being placed on the 15-day injured list due to a lower back strain. Varland was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Aug. 2 after being DFA'd by the Dodgers three days prior. He has a 3.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across six major-league innings this season, and he'll serve out of the White Sox bullpen as he makes his return to the majors.

The White Sox claimed Varland off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Tuesday, and the White Sox utilized their No. 1 spot in the waiver order to bolster their relief depth. Varland allowed two earned runs over six innings for Los Angeles but has struggled to a 7.99 ERA in 28 outings at Triple-A this year.
