Mella reported to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday after recently signing a minor-league contract with the Pirates, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mella was DFA'd by the Diamondbacks in mid-June and the right-hander was later released on July 28. The reliever has pitched in the majors in five different seasons, with his best showing coming a year ago when he posted a 1.80 ERA across 10 innings with Arizona. He'll report to Indianapolis for the time being but could become an option to join the Pittsburgh bullpen later in 2021.

The Diamondbacks released Mella on July 28.

EDGE Analysis

Just over a month after removing Mella from the 40-man roster, the Diamondbacks elected to part ways with the 28-year-old right-hander entirely in order to prioritize other pitchers at Triple-A Reno. Over his 29 innings at Triple-A this season, Mella posted a 4.34 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. He'll look to secure a minor-league deal with another organization.

Mella was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mella's contract was selected by Arizona on Tuesday, but he gave up six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two in 1.2 relief innings. His removal from the 40-man roster will make room for right-hander Noe Ramirez, whose contract was selected Friday.

Mella had his contract selected by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was designated for assignment at the start of spring training but remained in the organization, and he'll rejoin the major-league roster Tuesday. Mella gave up two runs with a 10:3 K:BB over 10 innings for Arizona in 2020, and he has a 3.86 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across 18.2 innings at Triple-A Reno this season.

The Diamondbacks outrighted Mella to Triple-A Reno on Monday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mella will remain in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers following his designation for assignment Friday. The 27-year-old has seen big-league action in each of the past four seasons, accruing a career 5.67 ERA over 19 relief appearances.

Mella was designated for assignment by Arizona on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old gave up only two earned runs and had a 10:3 K:BB over 10 innings for Arizona during 2020, but he no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster. Mella should remain in big-league camp but is likely to begin the season in the minors.

Mella (2-0) tossed a scoreless sixth inning to become the pitcher of record during the Diamondbacks' 3-2 Wednesday night win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona's offense exploded for six runs in the bottom of the frame to give Mella the win. The 27-year-old has a 2.00 ERA through 10 appearances in 2020.

Mella's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mella struggled over brief stints in the majors with the Reds during the past three seasons, but he'll be available out of the Diamondbacks' bullpen in the coming games. Given the team's depth in the back end of its bullpen, it's unlikely that he'll play a significant role in Arizona.

Mella will be a part of the Diamondbacks' 60-man summer camp.

EDGE Analysis

Mella signed a minor-league deal with Arizona in January to join camp as a non-roster invitee, so it's not too surprising to see him get the same opportunity with the season set to resume. The right-hander was shaky with the Reds over a short sample size at the MLB level in 2019 and posted a 5.05 ERA across 142.2 innings with Triple-A Louisville in the same season.

Mella joined the Diamondbacks as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mella has thrown 17 major-league innings, all with the Reds. He hasn't fared well in those innings, recording a 7.94 ERA and a 13:12 K:BB.
