Biddle (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle spent the last month of the 2020 season on the injured list with a left shoulder injury, and he was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville in October. He'll get to work with the major-league coaching staff during spring training in 2021 after his injury-shortened campaign last season.

Biddle (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander spent the final month of the season on the injured list with the left shoulder injury, but he's now been removed from the 40-man roster. Biddle appeared in only one game before suffering the injury.

Biddle was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left shoulder injury, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old had his contract selected earlier this week and delivered a scoreless appearance during his season debut Thursday, but he apparently picked up the shoulder injury. Biddle will be eligible to be activated Sept. 8, but it's unclear if he's expected to be ready to return at that point.

Biddle's contract was selected by the Reds prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

He takes the place of Anthony DeSclafani (paternity list) on the active roster. Biddle will likely work as a long reliever while on the active roster.

Biddle will be a part of the Reds' 60-man player pool this season.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle is not on the 40-man roster and was limited this spring as he returned from shoulder surgery. However, with this news, it's possible he will get work in low-leverage spots out of the big-league bullpen at some point this season.

Biddle won't pitch until the second week of camp as he works his way back from September arthroscopic surgery, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

BIddle missed the second half of last season due to shoulder troubles and isn't free of them to start this year, either. Whether or not he'll be able to pitch enough this spring to make a case for a roster spot remains to be seen.

Biddle signed a minor-league contract with Cincinnati on Friday, which includes an invitation to spring training, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle spent time in Atlanta, Seattle and Texas last season, struggling to an 8.36 ERA and 2.29 WHIP with a 26:22 K:BB over 28 innings out of the bullpen. Despite his struggles, he'll have a chance to earn a spot in the Reds' bullpen during spring training.

Biddle (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle missed the second half of 2019 with left shoulder fatigue after struggling with an 8.36 ERA and 2.29 WHIP over 28 major-league innings.

The Rangers transferred Biddle to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since Biddle's initial move to the IL was retroactive to July 15, the new transaction means he won't be eligible to rejoin the Rangers until at least mid-September. At that point, the Rangers may not deem it worthwhile to bring Biddle back with limited time left in the season, making it a realistic possibility that he doesn't pitch again in 2019. Biddle's placement on the 60-day IL will open up a spot on the 40-man roster for fellow reliever Ian Gibaut, who was acquired from the Rays on Sunday.

Biddle was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left shoulder fatigue, retroactive to Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle was lit up for four runs (three earned) over one frame in his last outing Sunday against the Astros, and it appears his poor performance may have had something to do with his shoulder issue. He'll be eligible to return starting July 25.
