Fillmyer signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Sunday that includes an invite to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Fillmyer made 21 appearances (16 starts) for Triple-A Columbus in 2021 but sputtered to a 6.18 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 83 innings. He has a 5.07 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 104.2 innings across two seasons in the majors, and he'll get a chance to work with San Diego's big-league coaching staff this spring.

Cleveland purchased Fillmyer's contract from the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball and assigned him to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old right-hander has posted a 5.07 ERA over 104.2 career innings in the big leagues, all of which came with Kansas City between 2018 and 2019. Fillmyer will likely slide into the rotation for Columbus.

The Diamondbacks released Fillmyer on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Fillmyer didn't appear in any games for the Diamondbacks in spring training and apparently didn't impress the coaching staff enough during his time at camp to warrant consideration for a spot on the Triple-A Reno roster. He's now free to pursue opportunities with other organizations.

Fillmyer signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old last appeared with the Royals in 2019 and had an 8.06 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Fillmyer should provide organizational pitching depth for the Diamondbacks.

The Royals released Fillmyer on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City added right-handed reliever Yunior Marte to its 60-man roster pool as a replacement for Fillmyer. The 26-year-old had previously made 12 appearances (three starts) for the big club in 2019, posting an 8.06 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 22.1 innings.

Fillmyer will be a part of the Royals' 60-man player pool this season, Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment over the winter, but Fillmyer will still have a chance to pitch in the majors this season, likely in a low-leverage relief role.

Fillmyer cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fillmyer made three starts and nine relief appearances for the Royals last season but didn't have much success. His 8.06 ERA brought his career big-league ERA up to 5.07 in 104.2 total innings.

The Royals designated Fillmyer for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fillmyer was cast off the 40-man roster to make room for outfielder Alex Gordon, who re-signed with Kansas City on a one-year, $4 million contract. The 25-year-old righty worked as a swingman for the Royals last season, making 12 appearances (three starts) for the big club and accruing an 8.06 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB in 22.1 innings.

Fillmyer was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fillmyer spent the early portions of the season bouncing between Triple-A Omaha and the majors. However, he was sidelined from late May to the middle of July with a shoulder injury. Healthy again, Fillmyer will likely close the season as bullpen depth for the big-league club.

Fillmyer (shoulder) was activated off the minor-league injured list Friday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fillmyer had been dealing with a shoulder injury since late May. He's allowed 15 runs in 15 major-league innings this season and owns a 5.12 ERA in 32.1 frames for Triple-A Omaha.
