Ogando (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list and outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ogando has been on the disabled list all season, so it makes sense that the Reds would like him to spend an extended period of time with their Triple-A affiliate before entertaining the thought of bringing him up to the majors. If Ogando does make his way up to the big club this season, he'll likely be used in low leverage situations.

Ogando (shoulder) moved his rehab assignment to Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shoulder issues have kept Ogando on the disabled list all season, with the right-hander having been limited to four rehab appearances in the minors as hie lone game action. After pitching three times in six days with the Reds' rookie-level Arizona League affiliate, Ogando will test himself against higher-quality competition as he looks to prove to the organization that he's back to full strength. Ogando was a fringe candidate to land a bullpen job with the Reds out of spring training even if health had prevailed, so once he's activated from the 60-day DL, there's a good chance he'll immediately be optioned to Triple-A Louisville.

Ogando (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Ogando was initially placed on the disabled list with a hand injury, it's shoulder soreness that is expected to keep the right-handed hurler sidelined for extended time. The 27-year-old was scheduled to have his shoulder examined by team doctors this weekend in Cincinnati, so a firmer timetable for his return should become clearer once the results are available. Asher Wojciechowski's contract was purchased from Triple-A Louisville to take Ogando's place on the 40-man roster.

Ogando was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old started his season in High-A as he was recovering from a rib injury, but he quickly made his way up to the majors. In his time with the Marlins, he notched a 2.30 ERA along with a 1.15 WHIP over 15.2 innings. He'll provide some bullpen help to the Reds if he can crack their 25-man roster.

Ogando was designated for assignment Friday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates acquired infielder Phil Gosselin on Friday and needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Ogando, who was acquired in December, was the odd-man out in what was already a crowded bullpen picture heading into spring training. He'll now be subject to waivers and could rejoin the Pirates' organization if he goes unclaimed.

Ogando was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Friday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates picked up some bullpen help Friday by claiming the recently DFA'd Ogando. He notched a 2.30 ERA to go with a 1.15 WHIP over 14 relief appearances (15.2 IP) with the Marlins in 2016. He figures to slot in as a middle reliever for the Pirates provided that he breaks camp with a spot on the 25-man roster. The Pirates designated Jason Rogers for assignment in a corresponding move Friday.

Ogando was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Junichi Tazawa coming aboard on a two-year deal, Ogando lost his spot, which is a little surprising given his success with the Marlins last season (2.30 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in 15.2 innings). However, Ogando had just an 8:8 K:BB over that span, and that serves as a decent microcosm of who he's been as a player -- he's battled control issues at every level and owns just a 7.4 K/9 in the minors.

Ogando was recalled to the majors Thursday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ogando will be in the first wave of September callups, rejoining the major league club the first day of expanded rosters. He's worked to a 5.68 ERA in five appearances with the Marlins this season and figures to provide a lower-leverage right-handed option out of the bullpen.
