The Reds reassigned Staumont to minor-league camp Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont only made one appearance for the Reds this spring, during which he struck out two batters and walked one in a scoreless inning. He'll head to Triple-A Louisville to begin 2025, but he could still make a few appearances out of the Reds' bullpen after posting a 3.70 ERA in 24.1 innings last year for the Twins.

Staumont signed Tuesday with the Reds on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to big-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont split time between the Twins and Cubs organizations in 2024, making all 25 of his big-league appearances with the former club and submitting a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 18:14 K:BB in 24.1 regular-season innings. He'll get the chance to compete for a middle-relief role in Cincinnati's Opening Day bullpen during spring training.

The Cubs released Staumont on Thursday, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont just inked a minor-league contract with the Cubs two weeks ago after he had been released by the Twins, and the righty has now been cut loose again. The 30-year-old made just two appearances with Triple-A Iowa, allowing two runs over one inning while walking five batters. A few years ago, Staumont looked like he would have a nice career as a reliever, but he's struggled to bounce back from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery.

The Cubs signed Staumont to a minor-league contract Friday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will report to Triple-A Iowa for now, but the Cubs could call the reliever up later this month. Staumont posted a 3.70 ERA in 24.1 innings with the Twins this season, but he had just a 18:14 K:BB and had surrendered 10 runs over his last six appearances before being released.

Staumont was released by the Twins on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont was designated for assignment by Minnesota on Tuesday to open a spot on the 40-man roster for trade deadline addition Trevor Richards. Staumont went unclaimed on waivers prior to ultimately being let go Saturday. The reliever has produced a respectable 3.70 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 18 strikeouts over 24.1 innings in 25 appearances with Minnesota this season and he'll likely get another shot with a big-league club this season.

The Twins designated Staumont for assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Trevor Richards coming over to Minnesota in a trade with Toronto on Tuesday, Staumont will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the Twins' roster. The 30-year-old was able to get through his first seven MLB appearances of the year without allowing an earned run. However, he's given up 10 earned runs in just 4.2 innings since July 12.

Staumont allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with a strikeout over one inning Friday against the Giants. He ended a 19.2-inning scoreless streak to begin the season.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont has had an impressive comeback after having thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July. He's had increased velocity as the season has progressed, reaching a high of 101.1 mph with his fastball on July 7. However, he's been a bit lucky with a .185 BABIP and just a 20.5% strikeout rate. He may find a tougher road in the second half of the season, but he's been a steady middle relief option.

Staumont allowed an unearned run on two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning Monday against the White Sox. It was his first run allowed this season (on a throwing error), but he hasn't allowed an earned run in 19.2 innings this season.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont has had an impressive comeback after having thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July. He's had increased velocity as the season has progressed, reaching a high of 101.1 mph with his fastball on July 7. There are some causes for concern, however, as before Monday he hasn't had a great strikeout rate (20.3%), has a worrisome walk rate (11.6%) and an unsustainable 1.128 BABIP. Still, he's become a dependable option in middle relief for the Twins.

The Twins recalled Staumont from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Staumont allowed five runs but turned in a 16:3 K:BB over 10.2 relief innings this season with St. Paul. If or when Staumont makes an appearance with the Twins, it will be his first in the majors since he had thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July.

The Twins reinstated Staumont (calf) from the 15-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

A left calf strain has kept Staumont on the sideline since Opening Day. He made three rehab appearances at St. Paul and will remain with the Saints after allowing three runs across 3.2 innings, though he could return to the majors if the Twins find themselves in need of a fresh bullpen arm later in the season.
