Ferrell was released by the Orioles on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles decided to part ways with Ferrell after the 27-year-old struggled to an 11.25 ERA and 2.25 WHIP across four spring appearances. Ferrell split time between the upper minors and the majors last season, notching an impressive 2.70 ERA across 46.2 innings with Triple-A Toledo but struggling to a 6.75 ERA across 9.1 big-league frames.

Ferrell will attend the Orioles' spring training as a non-roster invitee.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell pitched 9.1 innings over 11 games in the majors with the Tigers last season. Batters hit him with ease, as he gave up seven runs on five walks and 17 hits in that short time. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to improve, as a head injury cut his season short. Ferrell will look to get back on track at spring training with Baltimore.

Ferrell agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell spent most of the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Toledo, posting a 2.51 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 51:14 K:BB across 46.2 innings of work. He earned a promotion in August, but struggled to a 6.75 ERA, 2.36 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB in 9.1 innings before a line drive to the head cut his season short. Ferrell will look to compete for a spot in Baltimore's bullpen in spring training.

Ferrell was removed from the major-league roster Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell was outrighted by the Tigers after spending the last two months of the 2017 season with the club. During that time, he appeared in 11 games out of the bullpen, accumulating a 6.75 ERA and 2.36 WHIP in 9.1 innings.

Ferrell (concussion) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell was placed in concussion protocol on Sept. 19, although he has shown progress of late -- he also threw Friday. The 26-year-old has only thrown 9.1 innings in 2017, and would likely be in a mop-up role if he does return before the end of the year.

Ferrell (concussion) threw Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to Saturday's workout, Ferrell threw Friday as well. While it's a step in the right direction that he's been able to throw, specific details regarding the intensity of his recent workouts are unknown. Ferrell has been under concussion protocol since Sept. 19, but the team is still entertaining the possibility of him pitching again before the season ends.

Ferrell, who was hit in the head by a line drive in Monday's game, underwent a CT scan which confirmed that he did not suffer a fracture, Emily Waldon of The Athletic Detroit reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is excellent news for Ferrell, who is still unlikely to return anytime soon, but appears to have avoided an extremely serious injury. It's possible he will be in the concussion protocol for a while, and it would not be surprising if he did not return this season.

Ferrell was forced to leave Monday's game after he was struck in the head by a line drive, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferrell was able to stay standing after taking the blow, somehow, but it would still be a surprise if he didn't suffer a concussion. The line drive off the bat of Ryon Healy had a 102.6 mph exit velocity, so it would be a shock if Ferrell was feeling well enough to make his next start. Expect the club to monitor Ferrell's status overnight and expect updates as the week progresses.

The Tigers selected Ferrell's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers designated Edward Mujica for assignment to clear a spot on the active and 40-man rosters for Ferrell. The right-hander will likely be ticketed for low-leverage work as he returns to the big club for the first time since 2015.

The Tigers will purchase Ferrell's contract from Triple-A Toledo prior to Sunday's game against the Twins, John Wagner of The Toledo Blade reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit hasn't announced who will be sent out of the bullpen to make room for Ferrell, who had submitted a 2.51 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 51 strikeouts over 46.2 innings with Toledo on the season. The 26-year-old will likely be slated for duties in the middle innings early on before potential working his way into the Tigers' setup ranks.
