Parker has been named to the Mets' 60-man player pool, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old posted good numbers at Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels' system last year, but Parker has never been able to establish himself as a consistent big-league hitter. He could get another chance as part of a Mets roster that is thin on healthy outfield options.

Parker signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Parker spent most of 2019 with Triple-A Salt Lake, where he recorded a .929 OPS with 24 home runs and 75 RBI over 96 games. He appeared in five major-league games with the Angels, but he was designated for assignment after failing to record a hit. The 30-year-old will get the chance to compete as a non-roster invite at spring training, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear in the majors at some point in 2020 if he performs well in the Mets' organization.

Parker was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Parker, who was designated for assignment over the weekend, will remain in the Angels' organization after passing through waivers untouched. In 63 games with Salt Lake this season, the outfielder owns a .294/.421/.592 triple-slash with 18 home runs and two stolen bases.

Parker was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Parker joined the Angels on July 3 and went without a hit in 15 plate appearances. The 30-year-old could return to Triple-A Salt Lake if he goes unclaimed on waivers, where he had a .296/.424/.604 slash line with 19 homers prior to receiving the promotion.

Parker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Brian Goodwin (wrist) landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Parker received the call to the big leagues to serve as the Angels' fourth outfielder. He entered the lineup the past three games with Justin Upton (quadriceps) out, but failed to record a hit in 10 at-bats. Though Upton remains sidelined for the series finale, manager Brad Ausmus will turn to David Fletcher rather than the struggling Parker as the replacement in left field.

Parker was called up by the Angels on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Brian Goodwin (wrist) landing on the injured list, Parker will join the Angels for the first time, providing depth to the outfield. Formerly with the Giants, Parker has crushed the ball during his time with Triple-A Salt Lake this season (.296/.424/.604, 19 homers). However, there does not appear to be a path to regular at-bats with the big-league team.

Parker (oblique) is starting in right field for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker has been dealing with the oblique injury for the last month but is now ready to make his season debut. The 30-year-old last appeared in the majors with the Giants in 2017 and slashed .247/.294/.416 in 177 plate appearances.

Manager Brad Ausmus said Parker is dealing with an oblique injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the issue is not yet known, but oblique injuries tend to linger, putting Parker's status for the start of the season in question. Prior to getting hurt the outfielder was hitting .241/.389/.517 with two homers and a 7:9 BB:K this spring.

Parker went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Monday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Parker delivered a two-run blast in the second inning to give the Angels an early lead. He's been locked in at the plate to start camp and has gone 6-for-11 with two homers, six RBI and six runs scored thus far.

Parker signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Thursday, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker didn't play affiliated ball in 2018 after being cut loose baby the Giants prior to the season. The soon-to-be 30-year-old owns a career .257/.335/.456 slash line across parts of three major-league seasons (2015-17). He figures to serve as organizational outfield depth for the Angels.
