The Guardians released Frias on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Frias had seen big-league action in each of the prior four seasons but never received a call-up to Cleveland in 2025 after inking a minor-league pact with the organization over the winter. The 27-year-old righty tossed 36 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A Columbus this season and logged a 3.00 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB.

The Guardians signed Frias on Thursday to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Frias, 26, battled a shoulder problem in 2024 and struggled during his 9.2 major-league innings, yielding 16 runs (15 earned) with a 12:7 K:BB. He's collected a 28.4 percent strikeout rate at the Triple-A level, so the Guardians felt Frias was worth a shot on a no-risk, minor-league pact.

Frias became a free agent Monday after clearing waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Frias failed to draw any interest while on the waiver wire, so he'll set his sights on finding a new club. He failed to settle in at the big-league level in 2024, accruing a 13.97 ERA and 2.69 WHIP with 12 strikeouts across 9.2 innings between stops in Arizona and Toronto.

The Blue Jays optioned Frias to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Since coming up from Triple-A on Sept. 6, Frias has allowed eight earned runs on eight hits and three walks in only 3.1 innings. He'll head back to the minors in order to get back on track, and the Jays will bring up Dillon Tate to fill the open spot in their bullpen.

Frias was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Friday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty gave up seven earned runs in 6.1 innings out of Arizona's bullpen earlier this year. Frias did not allow an earned run while striking out 11 in 8.1 innings while at Triple-A since getting claimed by the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays claimed Frias off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Two days after being DFA'd by the D-backs, Frias will reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster -- though he will remain in Triple-A upon joining his new organization. The 26-year-old owns a 4.88 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 24 innings in the minors this year, and he's allowed seven earned runs in just 6.1 big-league frames.

The Diamondbacks designated Frias for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Just two days after being optioned to Triple-A upon coming off the injured list, Frias will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Andrew Knizner, who was claimed off waivers from Texas on Thursday. Frias has given up seven earned runs in just 6.1 innings in the big leagues this season and owns a 4.88 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 24 frames with Reno.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Frias (shoulder) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Frias moved his rehab assignment from rookie ball to Triple-A on Tuesday, and he will officially remain with the Aces now that he's made a full recovery from the shoulder inflammation that sent him onto the IL in April. The 26-year-old right-hander allowed seven earned runs in 6.1 innings during his time in the majors before getting injured, and he would likely need to show major improvement at Reno before the D-backs consider bringing him back into their bullpen.

The Diamondbacks transferred Frias' (shoulder) rehab assignment to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Frias has been on Arizona's injured list since April 19 with right shoulder inflammation but finally looks to be inching toward a return to the active roster. He began his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the weekend, tossing a scoreless inning in his lone outing. He'll likely make a handful of relief appearances for Reno before rejoining the big-league bullpen.

Frias (shoulder) will begin a throwing program this week, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frias has been on the shelf for nearly two weeks with right shoulder inflammation but appears to be progressing. He had been optioned before that was rescinded and he was placed on the injured list, so the righty could be headed to Triple-A Reno rather than the majors once he's healthy.
