Updating a previous report, the Dodgers won't select Pazos' contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After designating Mike Kickham for assignment Monday, the Dodgers initially planned to replace him on the 40-man and 26-man rosters with Pazos, but the team never made the transaction official after Monday's series opener with the Cubs was postponed due to inclement weather. Los Angeles has now elected to replace Kickham on the active roster with catcher Keibert Ruiz, but Pazos could still get a call-up ahead of the second game of Tuesday's twin bill if Los Angeles elects to designate him as its 27th man.

Pazos' contract was selected by the Dodgers on Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos failed to crack the big-league roster after joining the team as a non-roster invitee, but he'll get his chance fairly early in the season. The 29-year-old lefty owns a career 3.95 ERA but gave up 10 runs in just 5.1 innings last season.

Pazos will attend the Dodgers' big-league spring training camp, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers in December and will now get a chance to showcase his talent during the spring. The southpaw hurled 5.1 innings for Colorado last season, allowing 10 earned runs on 10 hits and five walks while striking out only one batter. His best big-league season was with the Mariners in 2018, when he posted a 2.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB over 50 innings while racking up 19 holds.

Pazos signed a minor-league contract with the Ddogers on Friday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos was outrighted at the beginning of October after being designated for assignment by the Rockies. He'll leave the organization in favor of the Dodgers, and he'll work with the major-league coaching staff during spring training. Pazos made six relief appearances for Colorado in 2020, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits and five walks while striking out one over 5.1 innings.

The Rockies outrighted Pazos off their 40-man roster Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos was dropped from the roster Monday after he gave up 10 runs on 10 hits and five walks over 5.1 innings out of the Colorado bullpen during the 2020 season. Since none of baseball's other 29 teams were willing to scoop him up off waivers, Pazos will remain a part of the Rockies' organization heading into the offseason.

Pazos was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos spent the final month of the 2020 season at the Rockies' alternate training site, and he'll now be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for Justin Lawrence (suspension), who was reinstated in a corresponding move. Pazos had a career-best 1.74 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 2019, but he struggled over a limited sample in 2020 as he allowed 10 runs on 10 hits and five walks over 5.1 innings.

Pazos was optioned to the alternate training site ahead of Monday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos has allowed 10 earned runs in just 5.1 innings on the campaign, so his Monday demotion does not come as a shock. Antonio Santos and Mychal Givens were added to the 28-man-roster, while Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list in corresponding roster moves.

Pazos was recalled from the Rockies' alternate training site Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos was optioned to alternate camp Thursday, but he'll return to the major-league club just one day later after right-hander Joe Harvey (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Pazos gave up seven runs over 3.2 innings across four relief appearances during his first stint in Colorado this year.

The Rockies optioned Pazos to their alternate training site Thursday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos' demotion clears a spot on the active roster for catcher Elias Diaz, who was reinstated from the restricted list in a corresponding move. The left-handed reliever had made four appearances with the Rockies this season, giving up seven runs over 3.2 innings.
