The White Sox released Lindgren on June 4.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren reached the big leagues with the Yankees in 2015, but he's been unable to make his way back to baseball's top level since undergoing Tommy John surgeries in August 2016 and March 2018. The 28-year-old lefty struggled mightily over eight appearances for Triple-A Charlotte this season, giving up nine earned runs on five hits and 15 walks over eight innings.

Lindgren joined the White Sox's 60-man player pool Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren will be part of a group of 16 players working out at the team's satellite camp. The lefty threw seven big-league innings back in 2015 but has thrown just 35.2 innings at any level over the last four years while recovering from a pair of Tommy John surgeries. He could earn another look at the big-league level this season if he proves to be both healthy and effective in camp.

Lindgren (elbow) was activated off the injured list at High-A Winston Salem last week.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox in January but missed the first few months of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March 2018. The 26-year-old first had a rehab assignment with the organization's AZL affiliate and could move higher in the minor as he regains his form.

Lindgren (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and outright to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was sidelined for the entirety of the 2018 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery -- the second of his career -- back in March. In addition, the Braves also outrighted Lane Adams and Preston Tucker, and activated Jose Ramirez (shoulder) and sent him to Gwinnett as well.

Lindgren (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Friday, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is merely a procedural move to free up a spot on the 40-man roster as Lindgren has already been ruled out for the 2018 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery earlier this week. In a corresponding move, the Braves selected the contract of right-hander Miguel Socolovich from Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Braves placed Lindgren on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren has been ruled out for the 2018 season after undergoing the second Tommy John surgery of his career earlier this month. He'll likely be transferred to the 60-day DL the next time the Braves need to open up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Lindgren underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews. Lindgren hasn't pitched in the majors since 2015. He had his first Tommy John surgery in August 2016, causing him to miss the entire 2017 season. He was expected to return this year, but suffered a setback early in camp. It appears that setback was a major one, as Lindgren had to go back under the knife for the same procedure. The talent that made the 25-year-old lefty a second-round pick back in 2014 may still be there, but it would be tough to bet on anyone after their second Tommy John surgery.

Lindgren (elbow) remains restricted from throwing and is without a timetable to resume doing so, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves shelved Lindgren a little over a week ago after he felt discomfort in his elbow while throwing a live batting-practice session. The team is confident that Lindgren isn't dealing with a structural issue to the elbow, but since the southpaw required Tommy John surgery in 2016, the Braves are opting to take a cautious approach. Once big-league camp closes, Lindgren appears likely to stick around for extended spring training before heading out on an extended rehab assignment.

Lindgren's elbow felt sore after his last throwing session and he isn't expected to return in the near future, Gabriel Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren is still recovering from Tommy John surgery that forced him to miss the entire 2017 season. After feeling soreness during his last scheduled throwing session, the 24-year-old left-hander's return has been pushed back. This is likely just a precaution, but it's not a good sign that he's been unable to take the mound yet.

Lindgren (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lindgren was placed on the shelf in March, and missed the entire 2017 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. He should be ready to take the mound by the start of spring training, and figures to compete for a spot in the Braves' bullpen.
