The Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball have signed Duplantier, Yakyu Cosmopolitan reports.

EDGE Analysis

There had been some buzz that Duplantier could seek a major-league contract after he held a 1.39 ERA and 32.4 percent strikeout rate over 90.2 innings for the Hanshin Tigers in 2025. However, the 31-year-old has opted to continue his career overseas instead. Duplantier last pitched in the majors in 2021.

The Brewers released Duplantier on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training in November, but he's being granted his release in order to sign a contract with the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball. The 30-year-old holds a career 6.70 ERA over 19 appearances at the major-league level.

The Brewers signed Duplantier to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier split the 2024 season between independent ball and stops in the minors with the Mets and Dodgers. The 30-year-old holds a career 6.70 ERA over 19 appearances at the major-league level, with his last stint in the big leagues coming in 2021.

Duplantier and the Dodgers agreed on a minor-league contract Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier will report to Double-A Tulsa joining the Dodgers organization after being released by the Mets in June. The right-hander produced a 5.31 ERA and 2.19 WHIP with 22 strikeouts over 20.1 innings in 16 appearances out of the bullpen with Triple-A Syracuse prior to being let go. Duplantier will likely remain in the minors for the rest of the 2024 campaign.

Duplantier signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021, and he owns a 5.05 ERA across 103.1 innings in the minors over the past two seasons. He'll likely report to Triple-A Syracuse to begin 2024 and give the Mets organizational rotation depth.

The Phillies reassigned Duplantier to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

A former top pitching prospect in the Arizona system, Duplantier was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with the Phillies this winter after logging a 4.71 ERA and 1.51 WHIP while striking out 109 batters over 93.2 innings for the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate at Oklahoma City in 2022. He'll likely open the 2023 campaign as a swingman for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Duplantier signed a minor-league deal with Philadelphia on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier was also invited to spring training with the Phillies, where he will look to carve a role for himself -- most likely in the bullpen. The 28-year-old righty recorded a 4.71 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 93.2 innings in Triple-A Oklahoma City last season -- by far the best Triple-A campaign of his career.

Duplantier (lat) has made two relief appearances this season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, striking out four and allowing no hits and one walk over two scoreless frames.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier, a former Diamondbacks top prospect whom the Dodgers poached from the Giants in the minor-league Rule 5 draft in December, is healthy to start the 2022 campaign. He didn't make any appearances over the final two months of the 2021 minor-league campaign while he recovered from a right lat strain. The Dodgers appear content to develop him as a reliever, hoping that his size (6-foot-4, 229 pounds) and raw skills will allow the 27-year-old to emerge as a potential bullpen option for the big club down the road. Duplantier will first likely have to stay healthy for an extended period before getting a look from the Dodgers.

Duplantier (lat) was selected by the Dodgers in the third round of the 2021 Rule 5 draft Wednesday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier inked a minor-league deal with the Giants late last week, but the team didn't add him to the 40-man roster. While it's not yet clear whether the right-hander's lat strain will keep him sidelined to begin spring training in 2022, he'll remain in the NL West as part of the Dodgers' 40-man roster.

Duplantier (lat) signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Duplantier missed the second half of the 2021 campaign with a lat strain, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready to return in time for spring training. He made four starts for the Diamondbacks last year and gave up 19 runs in 13 innings.
