The Yankees reassigned Norwood to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood was solid enough in Grapefruit League play (2.70 ERA, 14:4 K:BB, .216 batting average against in 10 innings), but his less inspiring body of work at the MLB level along with his status as a non-40-man-roster player were enough to deny him a spot in the Yankees' Opening Day bullpen. He'll likely open the campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Norwood signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood put up an 8.31 ERA over 20 relief appearances with the Phillies in 2022. He does have strikeout stuff, so the Yankees will hope to work some magic with him.

Norwood cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Monday, but he'll remain in the organization with the Triple-A club. The right-hander made 20 appearances for the Phillies earlier in the season and posted an 8.31 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 17.1 innings.

The Red Sox designated Norwood for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Just two days after the Red Sox acquired him from the Phillies, Norwood will move off Boston's 40-man roster without having made an appearance for the big club. The Red Sox called up second baseman Jeter Downs from Triple-A Worcester to replace Norwood on the 26-man active roster.

The Red Sox recalled Norwood from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Boston cleared a spot for Norwood on the active roster by optioning starting pitcher Kutter Crawford to Triple-A. Norwood's first appearance out of the bullpen will mark his Boston debut after the right-handed reliever was acquired from the Phillies on Saturday.

Norwood was traded from the Phillies to the Red Sox in exchange for cash considerations Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood was designated for assignment Monday after struggling to an 8.31 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 17.1 innings of relief. His 25.9 percent strikeout rate was solidly above-average, giving him hope to eventually carve out at least a low-leverage role for the Red Sox.

The Phillies designated Norwood for assignment Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be replaced on the 40-man roster and in the Phillies bullpen by right-hander Michael Kelly, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Through his 20 appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen covering 17.1 innings, Norwood turned in an 8.31 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB.

Norwood (personal) was activated from the bereavement list following Wednesday's loss to the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood has been away from the team for the past week due to personal reasons but will rejoin the club for Thursday's series opener in Miami. The 28-year-old was acquired by the Phillies from the Padres in late March and didn't allow an earned run over five big-league innings last season.

Norwood (personal) is expected to be reinstated from the bereavement list Thursday ahead of the Phillies' series opener in Miami, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood is expected to slot into a middle-relief role once activated. The 28-year-old right-hander made five appearances out of San Diego's bullpen in 2021, giving up zero runs on six hits and three walks over five innings.

Norwood was placed on the bereavement list Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Norwood has been away from the team for personal reasons, and the move offers up some indication of what those reasons are. He'll be a candidate for a bullpen spot when he returns, which should happen within a few days.
