Newberry signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Tuesday which contains an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Newberry made four relief appearances for the Royals in 2021, allowing eight runs in 4.1 innings. He's thrown 70.2 total major-league innings, posting an unimpressive 4.84 ERA, with a 12.7 percent walk rate highlighting his poor control.

Newberry was assigned to Triple-A Omaha after clearing waivers Friday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Newberry was designated for assignment Monday but didn't draw any interest on the waiver wire. The reliever, who's bounced back and forth between the big club and minors this year, will return to Omaha for the time being. The right-hander has allowed eight earned runs across 4.1 big-league innings this season and the Royals will have to find a way to get him back on the 40-man roster should they decide to give him another shot in the majors later this summer.

The Royals designated Newberry for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Newberry was cast off the 40-man roster to make room for the Royals' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Angels, Jackson Kowar. If Newberry isn't claimed off waivers by any of MLB's other 29 teams, he'll remain in the organization as a member of the Triple-A Omaha pitching staff.

The Royals optioned Newberry to Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction opens up a spot on the Royals' 26-man active roster ahead of the team's upcoming three-game series in Tampa Bay that begins Tuesday. During his week-long stint with the big club, Newberry went unused out of the bullpen.

Newberry was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was demoted in early May but will return to the Royals after spending the required 10 days in the minors. Newberry has surrendered eight runs on 10 hits with a 5:3 K:BB over 4.1 innings this season.

Newberry was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Newberry made a relief appearance in Sunday's series finale against Minnesota and allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one in one inning. He'll now head to Triple-A Omaha as part of a shuffle to make room for left-hander Daniel Lynch, whose contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Newberry was recalled by the Royals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis

Newberry was optioned to the Royals' alternate training site Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He gave up five runs while walking three and striking out four over 3.1 innings in three appearances. The Royals will bolster the bench in the short term, bringing up Ryan McBroom in a corresponding move.

Newberry allowed three runs on four hits and struck out three over 1.2 innings in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Newberry was recalled from the alternate site Monday after Jesse Hahn (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. While Newberry logged a decent chunk of relief work, he allowed an RBI double to Shohei Ohtani and a two-run homer to Mike Trout in the eighth inning. The 26-year-old Newberry isn't expected to see much high-leverage work while he's on the roster.

The Royals recalled Newberry from their alternate site Monday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll join the Kansas City bullpen as a replacement for Jesse Hahn, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder impingement syndrome. The Royals will likely plan to have Newberry fill a low-leverage relief role during his stint with the big club. Newberry has made 61 appearances for the Royals across the past seasons, generating a 4.07 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 8.6 K/9.
