Ravin announced Friday via his personal Twitter account that he has signed with the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball league for the 2019 season.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old heads overseas after making 35 appearances at the big-league level with the Dodgers and Braves over parts of the last four seasons, logging a 5.12 ERA and 10.4 K/9 in 38.2 innings in those outings. Ravin's contract is likely a one-year deal that will allow him to return to North America after the season if he draws renewed interest from MLB teams.

Ravin cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.

EDGE Analysis

Ravin gave up two runs in his lone appearance after returning from the disabled list and was subsequently designated for assignment. Now that he's through waivers, he'll likely act as organizational depth for the Braves.

Ravin was designated for assignment by the Braves on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ravin had only been back on the roster for one day after spending 18 days on the disabled list with a viral infection. If he clears waivers, he'll presumably return to Triple-A Gwinnett and serve as organizational depth for the Braves. Miguel Socolovich was called up from Triple-A to take his place.

Ravin (illness) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The reliever made the Opening Day roster, but he was placed on the disabled list shortly thereafter due to a nasty viral infection. He wound up missing 18 days as a result of the illness. Now that he built his pitch count back up in the minors, Ravin will return to a middle relief role for Atlanta. Lucas Sims was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Ravin was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a viral infection.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Ravin picked up the illness, but it's apparently serious enough to warrant a stay on the disabled list. He pitched a scoreless inning of relief following his promotion over the weekend, and will likely return to a low-leverage relief role once healthy. Catcher Carlos Perez was added to the roster in a corresponding roster move.

Ravin had his contract purchased by the Braves on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ravin will replace Rex Brothers, who was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding roster move, in the bullpen. The 30-year-old appeared in 14 games for the Dodgers in 2017, posting a 6.48 ERA and 19:9 K:BB across 16.2 innings of relief. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage situations.

Ravin (hip) is listed on the travel roster for the Braves' Grapefruit League game Sunday against the Tigers, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's an indication that Ravin hasn't suffered any setbacks this spring with the hip and groin injuries that resulted him ending the past season on the 60-day disabled list. The health concerns have resulted in the Braves limiting Ravin's workload, however, as he's made just three appearances this spring. After being outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett earlier this month, Ravin doesn't look like a serious candidate to claim a bullpen gig with the big club once camp ends.

Ravin (hip) has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett.

EDGE Analysis

Ravin was acquired from the Dodgers for cash considerations in November. The 30-year-old righty owns a 5.05 ERA in 35.2 career innings, with a solid 26.8 percent strikeout rate but a high 12.7 percent walk rate.

Ravin (hip) was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, then later acquired by the Braves in exchange for cash considerations, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just hours after being designated for assignment, Ravin was headed to the Braves. Most of Ravin's 2017 season was spent at Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he did appear with the big club in a limited capacity. Ravin pitched 16.2 innings over 14 games for the Dodgers. In that time he allowed 12 runs on 12 hits and nine walks.

Ravin has been placed on the 60-day disabled list with hip and groin issues, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Brandon McCarthy ready to go, the Dodgers will place Ravin on the 60-day disabled list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The injury likely isn't that serious, but with just over a week left to go in the season, Ravin's chances of returning to action were slim to none. Expect Ravin back by spring training.
