The Rangers claimed Biddle off waivers from Seattle on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As with any waiver claim, Biddle will go on the 40-man roster, and the team has confirmed that the lefty will join the major-league roster as well upon arrival. Biddle has struggled to a 7.54 ERA and 2.43 WHIP in 22.2 innings so far this season, leading to DFAs by both the Braves and Mariners. He's still only 27 and is just a year removed from posting a 3.11 ERA and 1.27 WHIP.

Biddle was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After opening the season with a 5.40 ERA in 11.2 innings for the Braves, Biddle recorded a 9.82 ERA in 11 frames since moving to Seattle. He could still be a desirable target on the waiver wire if another team thinks he can repeat his 3.11 ERA from his debut season last year.

The Mariners acquired Biddle and Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) from the Braves on Monday in exchange for Anthony Swarzak and cash, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves recently cast Biddle off their 40-man roster by designating him for assignment, but he'll stick in the big leagues as he moves on to a new organization in Seattle, according to Corey Brock of The Athletic. With 10 walks issued over 11.2 innings this season, Biddle has struggled with his control and may be limited to low-leverage relief duty with Seattle until he proves he can find the strike zone with more consistency.

Biddle was designated for assignment by the Braves on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle slumped to a 5.40 ERA with a poor 11:10 K:BB in 11.2 innings of work this season. Factoring in his performances from last season, he still has a perfectly respectable 3.46 career ERA in 75.1 innings, which may be good enough for another team to claim the 27-year-old lefty despite his current struggles.

Biddle (groin) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk in one-third of an inning of Tuesday's 14-3 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old reliever missed about two-and-a-half weeks with the injury, but struggled in a lopsided game. Biddle is 0-1 on the year, and he saw his ERA balloon to 5.40 after the poor relief appearance.

Biddle (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle landed on the injured list near the end of April with a right groin strain, but after completing his rehab stint, he'll return to the big leagues. Jerry Blevins has been designated for assignment and Kyle Wright was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in corresponding moves.

Biddle (groin) began a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Gwinnett.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle hit the 10-day injured list last Saturday and is eligible to return Tuesday. The Braves haven't announced a target return date for the lefty, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be back much later than that date, if at all.

Biddle was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right thigh contusion and right groin strain Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Biddle's solid 3.18 season ERA doesn't line up with his 2.03 WHIP or his 11:9 K:BB. It's unclear how much time he's expected to miss. Shane Carle was recalled in a corresponding move.

Biddle surrendered hits to the only two batters he faced in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander gave up singles to Miguel Rojas and Martin Prado to lead off the eighth inning, but Biddle was rescued by Wes Parsons to avoid taking any damage to his ERA. It's the first outing this season in which Biddle hasn't recorded a strikeout, and his 5:0 K:BB through 5.2 innings is solid. The 27-year-old will continue working in middle relief for the Braves, a role that likely won't afford him much fantasy value, even in formats that reward holds.

Biddle gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk over two innings while striking out three in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

It's worth noting that the southpaw entered the game in the eighth inning, long after Miami's starters had left the game. Even with A.J. Minter (shoulder) on the shelf and potentially requiring a stint on the injured list to begin the season, Biddle isn't guaranteed a spot in the Braves' bullpen -- veteran lefty Jonny Venters seems like a lock after re-signing with the club in November, and Biddle has been outpitched by Sam Freeman in camp. That said, Biddle had better numbers in 2018, and his 6:3 K:BB through 7.2 innings this spring is hardly a disaster. Whether he winds up on the 25-man roster could come down to how much length Atlanta wants in its bullpen to bolster a rotation already beset by injuries.
