Triple-A Lehigh Valley placed Luplow on its full-season injured list Sunday due to a torn ACL in his right knee, Tom Housenick of The Allentown Morning Call reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow had seen big-league action in each of the past seven seasons but had played exclusively at the Triple-A level in 2024 after linking up with the Phillies on a minor-league deal late in spring training. Before suffering the season-ending knee injury, Luplow slashed .255/.343/.450 with 10 home runs and 12 stolen bases in 254 plate appearances for Lehigh Valley. The 30-year-old outfielder will now embark on a lengthy rehab process that could extend into the early portion of the 2025 season.

Luplow signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A day after being let go by Atlanta, Luplow will get another shot in the Phillies organization. Luplow slashed .242/.347/.430 across 222 plate appearances in Triple-A last season, and he maintained an impressive .984 OPS over 33 plate appearances during spring training. The 30-year-old outfielder will begin the season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but he could get the call up to Philadelphia if he remains hot to start the regular season.

Luplow was released by Atlanta on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow signed a minor-league deal with the club in January and had maintained an impressive .985 OPS across 33 plate appearances in spring training. However, Atlanta signed Adam Duvall on Thursday, which made Luplow expendable.

Luplow signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Jan. 10 and received an invitation to major-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow slashed .208/.322/.325 across 90 plate appearances between the Twins and Blue Jays last season. He'll have a chance to make Atlanta's Opening Day roster, but the 30-year-old won't achieve more than a spot on Atlanta's bench.

Luplow elected free agency Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow was one of the victims as the Twins performed some 40-man roster housecleaning and he'll hit free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The veteran outfielder has always hit lefties well, so he could latch on with a team looking for a short-end platoon option.

The Twins recalled Luplow from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow was optioned to Triple-A on Monday in order to clear a spot for Michael Taylor but will now return to the Twins following the placement of Royce Lewis (hamstring) on the injured list. Luplow has slashed .235/.339/.412 across 59 plate appearances since joining the Twins in August.

Luplow was designated for assignment by the Twins on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow posted a .751 OPS over 26 games with the Twins, but he started just two games after the calendar flipped to September, so the club decided to remove him from the roster to open up a spot for Michael Taylor. It remains to be seen if Luplow will remain with the Twins or join a fourth organization this year.

Minnesota claimed Luplow off waivers from the Blue Jays on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder was a 40-man roster casualty in Toronto following the trade-deadline acquisition of Paul DeJong. Luplow showed some encouraging flashes with Cleveland between 2019-2021, but he has slashed just .178/.279/.352 over his last 251 major-league plate appearances dating back to the beginning of the 2022 season.

Luplow was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athleticreports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays selected Luplow's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on July 19, but he appeared in just seven games and went 3-for-14 with three walks, an RBI, a run and eight strikeouts. The transaction clears space on Toronto's 26-man and 40-man rosters for trade-acquisition Paul DeJong.

The Blue Jays selected Luplow's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luplow was outrighted off Toronto's 40-man roster after a brief turn in the majors back in late April, but he's worked his way back onto the big club. The 29-year-old could see a little action versus left-handers.
