The Angels traded Strickland to the Brewers on Saturday for cash considerations, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
After coming over to the Angels in a May 15 trade with Tampa Bay, Strickland was DFA'd by the Halos earlier in the week, and he'll now join his third-major league club in 2021. The right-hander has posted an overall 4.03 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 22.1 innings this season. Travis Shaw was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Strickland on the 40-man roster. Per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it is unclear if the reliever will arrive in Milwaukee in time to be activated for Sunday's afternoon game.

Strickland was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old was acquired from Tampa Bay in mid-May for cash considerations, but he struggled in Los Angeles with seven runs allowed on 11 hits and a 4:4 K:BB over 6.1 innings. Strickland had a 1.69 ERA and 16:6 K:BB across 16 innings before the trade, and he'll now be available to be claimed off waivers.

Strickland was traded from the Rays to the Angels on Saturday for cash considerations or a player to be named later, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland has been effective out of the bullpen for Tampa Bay this season, maintaining a 1.69 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 16 innings. He'll help out an Angels bullpen that has struggled to this point in the campaign, though he isn't likely to see save chances with Raisel Iglesias currently in the closer role.

Strickland fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Astros on Saturday, allowing one hit while not recording any walks or strikeouts.

Strickland has produced scoreless efforts in six of his last seven trips to the mound, and despite the absence of strikeouts Saturday, he still sports an impressive 10:3 K:BB across 10.2 innings thus far in 2021.

Strickland recorded his first hold in a win over the Royals on Monday, allowing two hits and recording a strikeout over a scoreless eighth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland worked around some trouble to get through his one frame, impressively getting 16 of his 20 pitches into the strike zone. The fireballing right-hander has demonstrated nearly impeccable control throughout his four appearances, as he now boasts an 8:1 K;BB.

Strickland had his contract selected from the alternate training site by Tampa Bay on Friday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old was unable to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster but will join the big-league club one week into the season. Strickland will fill the bullpen spot of Pete Fairbanks (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Rays reassigned Strickland to their minor-league camp Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland had been attending big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, hoping to impress the Rays enough in spring training to earn a spot in the team's Opening Day bullpen. Though he had some success as a high-leverage reliever earlier in his career with the Giants, Strickland has struggled to find consistent work over the past few years with his once-elite fastball having lost a few ticks. He didn't do much to help his case this spring, giving up seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits and five walks over his six innings with the Rays in Grapefruit League play.

Strickland signed with the Rays as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland owned a strong 2.91 ERA over his first five seasons in the league, but he hasn't been the same guy over the past two years. In 27.2 innings over that stretch (including just 3.1 last season), he owns a 5.86 ERA. The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of their pitchers, but a 32-year-old signed to a minor-league deal isn't a good bet to move into a high-leverage role at any point if he does make the roster.

Strickland cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to the Mets' alternate training site, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland has made four appearances for the Mets this season, allowing four runs (three earned) in 3.1 innings of work. He'll remain in an organizational depth role going forward.

The Mets designated Strickland for assignment Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland was called up Monday and proceeded to work a scoreless inning of relief in the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Marlins. Despite the quality showing, Strickland found himself as the odd man out when New York needed to make room on the roster for Ariel Jurado, who was recalled from the alternate training site ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Orioles.
