Llovera cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

After acquiring Llovera from the Red Sox in January via waiver claim, the Mariners will get to keep Llovera in their organization after passing him through waivers. Llovera turned in a 4.89 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 35 innings between the Giants and Red Sox last season, and he could potentially return to the majors in 2024 if Seattle runs into depth issues over the course of the season.

The Mariners claimed Llovera off waivers from the Red Sox on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Llovera was jettisoned from Boston's 40-man roster last week and has now found a new home. The 27-year-old posted a 5.46 ERA over 25 appearances with the Red Sox in 2023. He holds a career 5.80 ERA across 54 outings at the big-league level.

Llovera was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

A 40-man roster move was needed in order to add Lucas Giolito, and Llovera is the casualty. Llovera, 27, collected a 5.46 ERA over 25 appearances with the Red Sox in 2023 and holds a career 5.80 mark across 54 outings at the major-league level spanning parts of four seasons.

The Giants traded Llovera to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league reliever Marques Johnson.

EDGE Analysis

Llovera was designated for assignment by San Francisco on Saturday and will retain a 40-man roster spot with his new club. The 27-year-old righty holds a 3.92 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 20.2 frames in Triple-A this season, and he's given up just one run through 5.1 innings in the majors. Llovera doesn't have any options remaining, so he'll likely be used in middle relief out of Boston's bullpen. Kaleb Ort (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room on Boston's 40-man roster.

Llovera was designated for assignment by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco needed to clear out a 26-man roster spot for the return of Luke Jackson (back) and Llovera is out of minor-league options, thus the DFA. The 27-year-old right-hander had allowed just one run in 5.1 innings of relief this season with the Giants.

Llovera (1-0) didn't give up a run or a hit in two-thirds of an inning, allowing one walk and picking up the win Friday versus the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Llovera has a 3:1 K:BB over 2.2 innings across two appearances since he was selected to the Giants' roster last Thursday. The right-hander posted a solid 3.92 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 20.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento prior to his promotion. With San Francisco enjoying stability in the late innings, Llovera is likely to feature in mainly low-leverage spots.

San Francisco selected Llovera's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Llovera will give the Giants a fresh bullpen arm for the final stretch of games before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old right-hander was sporting a 3.92 ERA and 24:6 K:BB through 20.2 innings of work this season at the Triple-A level.

Llovera (elbow) is set to pitch in Monday's Cactus League game versus the Angels, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Llovera is in Giants camp on a non-roster invitation after signing a minor-league contract in November. He was injured in mid-July and remained out for the rest of the 2022 season with a Grade 3 right flexor strain. The right-hander appears set to ramp up in line with the rest of the Giants' relief candidates, though he'll likely need an impressive spring to work his way back onto the 40-man roster.

Llovera (elbow) re-signed with the Giants on a minor-league deal Nov. 19.

EDGE Analysis

One day after being non-tendered by the Giants, Llovera quickly re-upped with the organization on a new deal. Though he won't reclaim a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster, his minor-league pact will presumably allow him to compete for a spot in the big club's Opening Day bullpen during spring training. Before finishing the season on the injured list with a Grade 2 right flexor strain, Llovera posted a 4.41 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 16.1 innings with San Francisco.

The Giants declined to tender Llovera a contract for 2023.

EDGE Analysis

Llovera's contract was selected in late April and he was up and down between levels over the subsequent few months, pitching to a 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 16.1 innings during his time with the big club. A Grade 2 right flexor strain ended his season and it may ultimately end his time in the Giants organization.
