Turley cleared waivers and was outrighted to alternate camp Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Turley was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Tuesday, and he'll report to the team's alternate training site in Schaumburg after going unclaimed on waivers. He made 25 relief appearances for the Pirates last year, but Turley is unlikely to pitch in high-leverage situations if he's called up at some point in 2021.

The White Sox designated Turley for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago removed Turley from the 40-man roster to clear spot for Jake Lamb, who is a candidate to fill a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter. Turley likely would have been in line to serve as a low-leverage reliever in the White Sox bullpen if he had remained with the team for Opening Day.

Turley was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old was recently waived by the A's and didn't make it through the waiver wire unclaimed. Turley appeared in 25 games for the Pirates last season and had a 4.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB over 21.2 innings.

Turley was traded from the Pirates to the Athletics on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland picked Turley up for cheap after he was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh earlier in the week. It's tough to get too excited about a 31-year-old with a 7.78 ERA in 39.1 career MLB innings, but he at least throws left-handed, which could help his chances of winning a relief role.

Turley was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Turley threw 21.2 innings of relief for the Pirates last season with mediocre results, posting a 4.98 ERA, a 21.7 percent strikeout rate and a 12.0 percent walk rate. The 31-year-old lefty may not be a particularly attractive option on the waiver wire. Troy Stokes was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

Turley (0-3) allowed three runs on two hits and hit a batter in one inning in a loss to Cleveland on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Turley was responsible for Cleveland's three-run, go-ahead rally in the seventh inning. The southpaw had string together 4.1 scoreless innings over his previous five outings. Turley ends the season with a 4.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 20 strikeouts in 21.2 innings across 25 appearances.

Turley (0-1) gave up a run on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Monday versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Turley allowed a double to Ben Gamel, and then intentionally walked Avisail Garcia before Chris Stratton entered from the bullpen. Stratton gave up an RBI single to Orlando Arcia, which was enough to stick Turley with the loss. The 30-year-old Turley has allowed three runs over his last 1.2 innings, raising his ERA to 4.85 with a 1.23 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in 13 innings this season.

Turley did not allow a baserunner and struck out one across a scoreless inning to earn the save in the second game of the Pirates' doubleheader Thursday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates won each game of the doubleheader in close fashion, and Richard Rodriguez -- the team's primary closer -- was used in the first game. That gave Turley the opportunity to earn his first career save. Turley has a 3.18 ERA, but a 9:7 to K:BB across 11.1 innings for the season.

The Pirates selected Turley's contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Turley hasn't appeared in affiliated ball since the 2017 season due to a suspension and elbow injuries, but he stayed healthy throughout spring training and summer camp and impressed enough to clinch a spot on the 30-man Opening Day roster. Most of his initial usage out of the Pittsburgh bullpen will likely come in lower-leverage spots.

Turley was added to the Pirates' 60-man player pool.

EDGE Analysis

Elbow injuries kept him out of action since 2017, but he hurled 3.1 scoreless spring innings with seven strikeouts. Turley may not start the season in Pittsburgh's bullpen, but there's a chance he could make his first big league appearance in three years whenever injuries strike.
