Cervenka was reassigned to minor-league camp Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cervenka allowed just one run in four innings of spring action while striking out six batters, though he was never more than a long shot to break camp with the team. The lefty owns a 4.69 ERA in 48 career major-league innings and is not on the 40-man roster, so he'll face a tough time getting a callup.

Cervenka agreed to a minor-league contract with the Cardinals on Monday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander struggled a bit in the majors in 2016 and 2017, but after spending a bit of time in an independent league, he shined with the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate. Cervenka posted a 2.36 ERA and a 31:8 K:BB in 26 frames. He'll have a chance to work his way onto the big-league roster during spring training, but he'll likely have to outperform Chasen Shreve, Brett Cecil and Tyler Webb to avoid spending more time in the minors.

The Tigers purchased Cervenka's contract Wednesday from the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, John Wagner of The Toledo Blade reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being cut by the Orioles near the end of spring training, Cervenka reached a deal with the Skeeters and was dominant over 17.2 innings for the independent club, accruing a 1.52 ERA and 21 strikeouts. The lefty reliever will likely report to Triple-A Toledo upon joining his new organization with the hope of parlaying his stint in the minors into a spot in the big-league bullpen.

Cervenka was released by the Orioles on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cervenka's time with the Orioles has come to an end just two weeks after joining the team on a minor-league deal. The 28-year-old spent the majority of last season with Triple-A New Orleans, posting a lackluster 4.58 ERA scores 39.1 innings. He'll look to latch on elsewhere as organizational pitching depth.

Cervenka signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cervenka was recently released by the Marlins after giving up 8 runs in 4.2 innings last year. He spent the majority of the season for their Triple-A club (New Orleans), posting a 4.58 ERA with a 6.26 FIP in 39.1 innings. The 28-year-old lefty could get a cup of coffee in the Orioles' bullpen at some point this season but nothing in his track record suggests he'll be much of a fantasy asset if that happens.

Cervenka was released by the Marlins on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cervenka spent most of the 2017 season with Miami's Triple-A affiliate, posting a lackluster 4.58 ERA across 39.1 innings with the Baby Cakes. He saw a brief promotion to the majors, but struggled mightily with his command and allowed eight runs in just 4.2 innings of work. Cervenka will look to latch on elsewhere as organizational pitching depth.

Cervenka was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cervenka pitched in five games out of the bullpen for the Marlins last season, allowing eight earned runs off one hit and eight walks in 4.2 innings. The 27-year-old southpaw spent most of the year in Triple-A, where he accumulated a 4.58 ERA and 39:26 K:BB.

Cervenka was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Justin Nicolino was recalled in a corresponding move to replace Chris O'Grady (oblique) in the starting rotation, so Cervenka serves as the roster casualty. The southpaw has struggled mightily since being brought up in late July, allowing eight earned runs combined over his last three outings and posting a 0:6 K:BB in the process. He'll look to right the ship in Triple-A, where he owns a 4.50 ERA over 36 outings this year.

Cervenka was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Control continues to be an issue for the southpaw, although his strong strikeout numbers were enough in the Marlins' eyes to warrant a callup. His 4.50 ERA out of the Baby Cakes' bullpen this season will likely keep him out of any high-leverage innings in Miami, however. Tom Koehler was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
