Gillaspie cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A El Paso.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie was dropped from the 40-man roster after returning from the IL on Monday, but he'll officially stick with the organization after clearing waivers. The 28-year-old gave up two runs over seven innings during his run with the Padres in April but has surrendered five runs in 8.1 frames at Triple-A.

The Padres activated Gillaspie (oblique) from the 15-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie is over the left oblique strain that sent him to the IL over two months ago, but the Padres decided they don't have room for him on their active roster. The 28-year-old has a career 4.63 ERA and underwhelming 29:12 K:BB in 44.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, so he stands a good chance of clearing waivers.

Gillaspie (oblique) began a minor-league rehab stint June 17 and has thrown 5.2 scoreless innings with a 5:0 K:BB over three appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie pitched in three games with San Diego in April before landing on the injured list April 27 due to an oblique strain. The right-hander has thrown more than one frame in each of his three rehab outings so far, and he appears to be prepping for a multi-inning middle-relief role upon his potential return to the Padres. Gillaspie could be ready for activation at some point in July.

The Padres placed Gillaspie on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie appeared to suffer the injury during the seventh inning of Saturday's loss to the Rays, and he will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. In corresponding moves, David Morgan's contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio and Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

The Padres selected Gillaspie's contract from Triple-A El Paso prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Before being non-tendered by the Padres in November, Gillaspie made nine appearances at the big-league level in 2024, logging a 7.15 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 11.1 innings. He'll likely be ticketed for a middle-relief role as he heads back to San Diego. The Padres designated left-hander Tom Cosgrove for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the 27-year-old Gillaspie.

The Padres signed Gillaspie to a minor-league contract Dec. 12, per his MLB.com player profile.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie is a 27-year-old right-hander who began his professional career playing on the independent circuit before getting a look in the Brewers organization in 2018. He's appeared in the majors each of the past three campaigns -- the first two with Baltimore and last season with San Diego -- compiling a 5.02 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB over 37.2 innings covering 37 regular-season appearances (all out of the bullpen). Gillaspie will serve as organizational bullpen depth now that he's back in the Padres' minor-league system.

The Padres non-tendered Gillaspie on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite his strong season at Triple-A El Paso, Gillaspie was unable to find his footing in the big leagues, posting a 7.15 ERA an 1.32 WHIP in 11.1 innings. The 27-year-old should be able to at least attract a minor-league contract in free agency.

The Padres optioned Gillaspie to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was called up by San Diego on Thursday, and he'll return to the minors after giving up six earned runs in two relief appearances. Gillaspie is heading back to El Paso, where he has a 3.60 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 35 innings this year.

Gillaspie was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie has spent the majority of his 2024 season at Triple-A El Paso and has maintained a mediocre 31:14 K:BB across 35 innings at the level. He'll likely serve as a low-leverage option in the San Diego bullpen.

The Padres optioned Gillaspie to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillaspie will lose his spot in the major-league bullpen as the Friars make room for Martin Perez, Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing -- all of whom were acquired Tuesday ahead of the trade deadline. After his promotion to San Diego on July 10, Gillaspie allowed three earned runs in 5.2 innings while striking out one batter and walking none.
