Yang cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Yang was cast off the 40-man roster Wednesday, but he'll remain in Round Rock after he went unclaimed on waivers. The southpaw has made 10 appearances (nine starts) at the Triple-A level this year and has recorded a 5.60 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 45 innings.

Yang was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Yang was sent to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, but he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Willie Calhoun (forearm), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday. The southpaw made 12 appearances (four starts) in the majors this year and generated a 5.60 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 35.1 innings.

Yang was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Yang served as added bullpen depth while the Rangers dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak but will head back to the minors as players start to return to the roster. He owns an unremarkable 5.60 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 35.1 major-league innings this season.

The Rangers recalled Yang from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Yang will be an option to fill innings out of the bullpen behind Wednesday's starter, Kohei Arihara (shoulder), who is expected to be capped at 2-to-4 innings in his return from the 60-day injured list. Even with three other starting pitchers (Dane Dunning, Mike Foltynewicz and Spencer Howard) still residing on the COVID-19 injured list, Texas still has enough younger rotation options on hand to fill the openings, so Yang is expected to stick in a relief role throughout September.

EDGE Analysis

Yang was recalled last Tuesday and wound up making one appearance, allowing two hits during two scoreless innings against the Astros on Saturday. He'll return to Round Rock for the time being but figures to be an option to rejoin the major-league squad when rosters expand to 28 on Wednesday.

Yang was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jonah Heim (undisclosed) and Drew Anderson (undisclosed) landing on the COVID-19 IL, Yang is joined by Ryan Dorow as replacement players on the active roster. Yang posted a 5.59 ERA and across eight appearances (four starts) with Texas before being DFA'd and clearing waivers in late June. He could be a candidate to start later this week, with Spencer Howard also expected to be placed on the COVID-19 list in the coming days.

Yang cleared waivers Saturday and was assigned to Triple-A Round Rock.

EDGE Analysis

No team claimed the lefty pitcher after he was designed for assignment Thursday. Despite his struggles, which are highlighted by a 5.59 ERA in 29 innings with a 19:15 K:BB ratio, Yang may find himself back in the Rangers' depth-deprived rotation or bullpen at some point this season.

Yang was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Yang has made four starts and four relief appearances since joining the Rangers on a minor-league deal over the winter. He hasn't particularly impressed, struggling to a 5.59 ERA in 29 innings while combining a 15.0 percent strikeout rate with an 11.8 percent walk rate. Given those numbers and the fact that the rest of the league passed up the chance to give him a major-league contract during the offseason, it's unlikely the 33-year-old gets claimed off waivers.

The Rangers optioned Yang to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Texas dropped Yang from the bullpen and the 26-man active roster to clear room for closer Ian Kennedy (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Since shifting from the rotation to a relief role earlier this month, Yang made only one appearance and gave up two earned runs over 1.1 innings. Texas will likely have Yang get stretched back out for starting duty at Triple-A.

Yang has been removed from the starting rotation and will be a reliever going forward, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty's four starts this season have been short and mostly ineffective, and he holds a 5.20 ERA in seven total appearances. Yang will need to drastically improve upon his 1.46 SO/W ratio if he's to be a viable relief option. Kolby Allard, replacing Yang in the rotation, will start Saturday, likely making Friday a bullpen game for the Rangers.
