The Padres reassigned Rhame to minor-league camp Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame was one of five non-roster invitees with prior MLB experience that was among the latest wave of cuts from Padres camp. He made 44 relief appearances with the Mets from 2017 through 2019, accruing a 6.23 ERA over 47.2 innings. Expect Rhame to open the season at Triple-A El Paso.

Rhame signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame failed to make an appearance during the shortened 2020 campaign, but he'll have a chance to make an impact with the Padres after inking a minor-league deal. He last pitched in the big leagues during the 2019 season with the Mets, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with five punchouts in 6.1 frames.

Rhame (undisclosed) cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Angels' alternate training site Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Mets in early July, but he wasn't able to report to camp until last week and was unlikely to be ready for the start of the season. Rhame has been removed from the 40-man roster, but he could still be a factor for the Angels at some point this season.

Rhame is not expected to be ready for the start of the season, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't sound like Rhame -- who was claimed off waivers last week -- will have enough time to build up after reporting to camp Tuesday. He should get a shot in the majors once he's ready to go, as pitching coach Mickey Callaway indicated the hard-throwing righty could eventually develop into an impact reliever for the Angels.

Rhame cleared intake testing and reported to the Angels' summer camp Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame was claimed off waivers by the Angels last week and is now clear to begin working out with the team. The right-hander pitched in five games for the Mets last season, allowing three earned runs and posting a 5:9 K:BB over 6.1 innings.

Rhame was claimed off waivers by the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame will head west after being waived by the Mets earlier in camp. The right-hander's 2019 season was cut short by a pair of injuries, but according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, he had resumed throwing off a mound before switching teams. Across parts of three big-league seasons, Rhame owns a 6.23 ERA and 40:24 K:BB over 47.2 innings. Per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Rhame will have to pass a COVID-19 test before he's cleared to join the Angels for workouts.

Rhame (elbow/foot) is listed among the Mets' available relievers for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame entered spring training slightly behind the Mets' other relievers while he neared the finish line of his recoveries from mid-August ulnar nerve transposition surgery and another procedure to address a broken left foot. The reliever had planned to pitch in the Dominican Winter League during the offseason, but the walking boot he required for his foot forced him to push back his throwing progression. Rhame looks like he'll be ready to make his spring debut Wednesday, which should put him on pace to be ready for Opening Day. If he breaks camp with the Mets, Rhame will likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Rhame (elbow) was shifted to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This move is simply procedural, as Rhame has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season after undergoing elbow surgery Tuesday. Ruben Tejada was added to the roster in his place.

Rhame underwent successful ulnar nerve transposition surgery Tuesday and will miss the rest of the season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame saw limited time in the majors this year, instead spending the majority of the season in the minors. The right-hander will finish the season with an ERA of 4.26 in just five appearances in the big leagues. It's an encouraging note that the surgery was successful, and it's possible that Rhame could play a role in the Mets' bullpen in 2020 even after a disappointing 2019 campaign.

Rhame was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow discomfort Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Rhame was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday and provided 1.1 scoreless frames, but he apparently didn't escape the outing unscathed. Left-hander Donnie Hart was called up from Syracuse to bolster the Mets' bullpen in his absence.
