The Orioles released Avila on Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Avila had been removed from the 40-man roster last week and will now leave the organization altogether after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old posted an 8.49 ERA over 11.2 innings earlier this season with the Giants, although that came with a strong 14:3 K:BB.

The Orioles designated Avila for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore claimed Avila off waivers from San Francisco on June 17, but he spent much of the past two months on Triple-A Norfolk's injured list before returning to action for the Orioles' International League affiliate last week. He was lit up over his three relief appearances for Norfolk, giving up 10 earned runs over just 1.1 innings before the Orioles moved him off their 40-man roster. Avila is expected to clear waivers and will most likely stick around in the organization as a bullpen arm at Norfolk.

Avila (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Avila is seeing action for Triple-A Norfolk following his return from an undisclosed injury. He's been unable to find his groove in three relief appearances since being activated, allowing 10 runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Avila (undisclosed) was claimed off release waivers by the Orioles before being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk and placed on the minor-league 7-day injured list Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Avila was released by the Giants on Sunday, but it didn't take him long to find a new suitor. The right-hander has been out since May 31 while nursing an unspecified injury, but he will now account for the final slot on Baltimore's 40-man roster. Avila struggled to a 8.49 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 11.2 innings in eight appearances with San Francisco, so he'll likely have to prove himself at Norfolk before the Orioles would potentially call him up to the majors down the road.

The Giants released Avila (undisclosed) on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Avila will cede his spot on the Giants' 40-man roster to right-hander Spencer Bivens, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Sacramento. Rather than designating Avila for assignment and waiting for the waiver process to play out, the Giants will part ways with the 26-year-old right-hander and allow him to get a head start on finding his next organization. Avila had posted an 8.49 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over his 11.2 innings with the Giants this season and hadn't performed much better for Sacramento (6.75 ERA, 1.21 WHIP in 9.1 innings) before landing on the club's 7-day injured list May 31 with an unspecified injury.

The Giants optioned Avila to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Avila will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to left-hander Blake Snell (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. The 26-year-old Avila has made eight relief appearances for the Giants this season, logging an 8.49 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 11.2 innings.

Avila (1-0) allowed a run on one hit and one walk while striking out four over two innings to earn the win Friday over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Another big comeback from the Giants in the eighth inning put Avila in line for his first major-league win after he pitched the sixth and seventh. It's a positive moment in a season that's had few of them for the rookie right-hander. Avila has been scored on in all but one of his appearances, posting an 8.49 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 11.2 innings in a low-leverage role. He's filling the roster spot of Blake Snell (personal), who is expected to return from the paternity list early next week, at which point Avila is among the candidates to be optioned out.

The Giants recalled Avila from Double-A Richmond on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Avila was optioned Wednesday but will return to the 26-man active roster one day later to replace lefty Blake Snell (personal), who was placed on the paternity list. Manager Bob Melvin will have another relief option at his disposal while Avila is with the big club, but the 26-year-old will likely be sent to Triple-A Sacramento once Snell rejoins the team.

The Giants optioned Avila to Double-A Richmond on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Avila is being sent to Richmond rather than Triple-A Sacramento because the Giants are on the East Coast and may need to recall Avila if Blake Snell goes on the paternity list. The reliever holds a 9.31 ERA over 9.2 innings with the Giants this season.

Avila was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Avila will be available out of the bullpen for Monday's game against the Dodgers. He hasn't been able to settle in so far this season with the big-league club, surrendering at least one run in five of his six relief appearances.
