The Marlins reassigned Givens to minor-league camp Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens didn't sign until mid-March, so he had an uphill battled to make the Opening Day roster. The veteran reliever could still see lots of action in the Marlins' bullpen this season, but he'll head to Triple-A Jacksonville for now to knock some rust off.

Givens threw a bullpen session Tuesday and could progress to live batting practice by Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Signed as a non-roster invitee over the weekend, Givens is ramping things up in a hurry in hopes of convincing the Marlins to carry him on their Opening Day roster. The veteran reliever was limited to just six appearances last season because of shoulder issues but appears to be healthy now.

Givens signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Sunday that includes an invite to big-league camp, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander endured a rough campaign with Baltimore last season as he made just six appearances due to a shoulder injury before being released in August. Givens had a 3.38 ERA in 59 outings for the Cubs and Mets in 2022 and would provide the Marlins some veteran bullpen depth if he can earn a roster spot and get back to that form.

Givens was released by the Orioles on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens was reinstated from the 60-day injured list last weekend after a lengthy shoulder injury but was designated for assignment rather than brought back onto the active roster. The 33-year-old went unclaimed off waivers but will hope to land somewhere for the stretch run, perhaps on a minor-league deal.

The Orioles reinstated Givens from the 60-day injured list Sunday and designated him for assignment, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens struggled during his brief time with the Orioles this season, surrendering five runs in four innings before landing on the injured list with a shoulder injury in early June. After a lengthy recovery, Givens threw three scoreless innings with Triple-A Norfolk during his rehab assignment and could remain there for the foreseeable future if he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Givens (shoulder) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens tallied two strikeouts over a scoreless inning in his rehab debut earlier this week in the Florida Complex League and is now just one step away from becoming an option again for the Orioles' bullpen. He's been on the shelf since early June due to nagging right shoulder discomfort.

Givens (shoulder) reported to the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Monday to begin a rehab assignment.
EDGE Analysis
Givens hasn't pitched for the Orioles since May 31 due to right shoulder inflammation, so he'll likely require multiple rehab appearances in the minors before he's deemed ready to return from the 60-day injured list. The 33-year-old has typically operated as a setup man throughout his career, but Givens may have to settle for a middle-innings role out of the Baltimore bullpen once activated.

The Orioles transferred Givens (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Givens landed on the injured list June 2 (retroactive to June 1) with right shoulder inflammation, so his move to the 60-day IL will push his return back into early August. The 33-year-old reliever resumed throwing recently and is slated to begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break. His spot on the 40-man roster was filled by Chris Vallimont, who was selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Givens (shoulder) is slated to begin a minor-league rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens has been playing catch on flat ground without issue and will head to Florida next week to begin throwing off a mound. A rehab stint will follow, which should put him in line to return to the Orioles' bullpen well before the end of July. The veteran reliever has been on the shelf since June 2 due to lingering right shoulder discomfort.

Givens (shoulder) is scheduled to get re-evaluated in the coming days with the hope that he'll be cleared to resume playing catch later this week or next week, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens was recently pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk after experiencing renewed discomfort in his shoulder. Manager Brandon Hyde suggested over the weekend that the Orioles don't believe that Givens is dealing with a significant setback, but the fact that the reliever will go at least a week without throwing suggests he's no longer on track to return from the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break.
