The White Sox released Markel on Sept. 6.

EDGE Analysis

Markel had a brief two-month stint on the White Sox's 40-man roster earlier this summer, but he pitched exclusively at Triple-A Charlotte before he was outrighted in late July. The organization ultimately elected to part ways with him entirely with less than a month left in the season after he turned in a 10.29 ERA and 2.19 WHIP over 21 innings with Charlotte.

Markel was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Markel was claimed off waivers by the White Sox in early June and posted a 6.43 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 14 innings over 15 relief appearances in Charlotte. He'll be removed from the 40-man roster but will likely remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The White Sox claimed Markel off waivers from the Athletics on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago had room open on the 40-man roster after recently designating Dallas Keuchel for assignment and releasing him, so Markel will end up filling the open spot. The 31-year-old right-hander made three appearances out of the Oakland bullpen before being cast off the organization's 40-man roster and had spent most of the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Las Vegas. In his 17 appearances for the Athletics' top affiliate, Markel posted a 1.89 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 19 innings.

The Athletics designated Markel for assignment Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After getting recalled from Las Vegas on May 29, Markel pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit and five walks while striking out three over three appearances. Now that he has been DFA'd, he will either report to Triple-A, get claimed by another team or get released outright. The first option seems the most likely one for the 31-year-old. The move opened a spot on the 40-man roster for Matt Davidson, who was called up from Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Markel was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markel has a 1.89 ERA and 28:10 K:BB over 19 innings for Las Vegas this season, which was apparently enough to earn a look with the major-league club. The 31-year-old last appeared in the big leagues in 2019, when he posted a 7.77 ERA across 22 innings between the Pirates and Mariners.

Markel is expected to be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Justin Grimm getting designated for assignment Saturday, the Athletics are expected to give Markel a look in the big-leagues. The 31-year-old has produced a 1.89 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 28 punchouts over 19 frames with Las Vegas this season. He last pitched in the majors in 2019, compiling a 7.77 ERA over 22 innings with the Pirates and Mariners.

The Padres reassigned Markel to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Markel was one of five non-roster invitees with prior MLB experience that was among the latest wave of cuts from Padres camp. He made 20 relief appearances between the Pirates and Mariners in 2019, giving up 19 runs on 26 hits and 17 walks over 22 innings. Expect him to report to Triple-A El Paso or Double-A San Antonio when the minor-league season gets underway.

Markel signed a minor-league contract with the Padres in November.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres assigned Markel to Double-A Amarillo following his signing, so it doesn't look like he'll be attending big-league camp during spring training. Markel was a member of the Angels' 60-man roster pool last season, but he never received the call to the majors during the 60-game campaign. The right-hander previously made 20 appearances between the Pirates and Mariners in 2019, logging a 7.77 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over 22 innings in relief.

Markel (undisclosed) is not included on the Angels' 30-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

Markel missed all of summer camp while dealing with an undisclosed issue, so his exclusion from the Opening Day roster is not surprising. The right-hander was far from a lock to make break camp with the squad in any case after allowing 19 earned runs in 22 innings last season as a member of the Mariners and Pirates.

The Angels placed Markel on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to an unspecified issue.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Angels outrighted Markel to the minors in February, he has since been added back to the team's 40-man roster, making him eligible for the injured list. After giving up 19 earned runs in 22 innings last season between stops with the Mariners and the Pirates, the right-hander wasn't considered likely to crack the Angels' 30-man Opening Day roster, and his move to the IL only further diminishes his chances.
