Gurka was released by the Orioles on Sunday, David Hall of The Virginian-Pilot reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gurka made 16 relief appearances at Triple-A Norfolk this season, posting a 3.18 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 24 strikeouts across 22.2 innings. His last big-league stint came in 2017 with the Angels.

Gurka was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gurka had pitched in three Grapefruit League games this spring. While two were fine outings, one was a brutal showing for the 30-year-old. Over one inning against the Phillies on Feb. 24, Gurka gave up three hits and hit one batter with a pitch, all of which resulted in him surrendering three runs. He'll likely be assigned to Triple-A Norfolk once the season gets underway.

Gurka has been invited to the Orioles' spring training as a non-roster invitee, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2017 season was a tale of two halves for Gurka. He opened the year at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he posted a lofty 5.40 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 30 games (16.2 innings). However, he improved after being traded to the Angels and threw for a 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP during 30 games (34 innings) at Triple-A Salt Lake. Should he replicate the form he showed at Salt Lake, Gurka could earn a chance to pitch in Baltimore's bullpen.

Gurka inked a minor-league contract with Baltimore on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gurka spent most of the 2017 season at the Triple-A, but did appear briefly in three games for the Angels at the big-league level in September. The southpaw struggled during 30 games with the Yankees' Triple-A squad, but settled down a bit once he got to Salt Lake City, sporting a 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 34 innings with the Bees. Looking ahead, he will likely start off at Triple-A Norfolk and serve as depth for the Orioles' bullpen.

Gurka cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gurka will report to Salt Lake after being designated for assignment earlier in the month to clear room on the 40-man roster for the recently acquired Felix Pena. He made just three appearances for the Angels in 2017, allowing two hits and a walk in just 0.2 innings of work. Given his lack of major-league experience, Gurka will likely open next season in the minors.

Gurka was designated for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gurka made three appearances with the big club in 2017, allowing two hits and a walk in just 0.2 innings. He's not likely to open next season with the Angels given his lack of major-league experience, and was sent down to accommodate Felix Pena -- who the team acquired from the Cubs on Monday -- on the 40-man roster.

Gurka was called up by the Angels on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Three days after being released by the Yankees in June, Gurka signed a minor-league deal with the Angels, and he went on to post a 2.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB in 30 appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake. Gurka has been rewarded with a September callup, but it's difficult to imagine the lefty will separate from the front end of the bullpen over the season's final month.

Gurka was reassigned to minor league camp Friday, Brendan Kuty of The Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old has allowed 18 runs in 17.1 major league innings and will serve as organization depth out of the bullpen.

Gurka agreed to a minor league deal with the Yankees that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old reliever was released by the Rockies in August of last year after struggling mightily in the majors. In just 17.1 big league innings, he has accumulated a career 9.35 ERA. He pitched well at Triple-A, posting a 1.63 ERA in 21.1 innings during 2016, but his major league struggles will probably force him into an organizational depth role.

The Rockies released Gurka on Saturday, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gurka, a 28-year-old lefty reliever, has excellent numbers at Triple-A (1.65 ERA, 32.6 percent K-rate), but his career 9.35 ERA in 17.1 big league innings may have sealed his fate. He will look to catch on with another club on a minor league deal.
