EDGE Analysis

Acquired earlier in the day in a trade with the Guardians, Sewald is now shifting off the 40-man roster to make room for another reliever, Kyle Finnegan. Sewald is working his way back from a moderate teres major strain and now isn't eligible for activation until Sept. 10.

EDGE Analysis

Sewald was diagnosed with a moderate teres major strain over the All-Star break and is not expected to be ready to pitch for the Tigers until early September, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The veteran reliever holds a 4.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 15.1 innings this season.

EDGE Analysis

Sewald was initially placed on the injured list July 15 due to a right shoulder strain, but the Guardians didn't offer up a timeline for his return. The fact that Sewald has been diagnosed with a moderate strain rather than a mild one suggests that he likely won't be in line for a brief stint on the shelf, and his absence could end up stretching into September. Prior to landing on the shelf, Sewald made 18 appearances out of the Cleveland bullpen and logged a 4.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

The Guardians placed Sewald on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right shoulder strain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sewald returned to action for the Guardians on July 5 after he had been shelved since late April due to a right posterior deltoid strain, and now he's back on the IL with another shoulder-related issue. The veteran reliever will be eligible to return July 27, but it's not yet clear what his timeline for a return looks like. Sewald has been limited to only 15.1 innings this season, collecting a 4.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB.

Sewald picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Houston, tossing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Closer Emmanuel Clase had worked each of the past three days for Cleveland, so he earned a well-deserved rest Wednesday. His unavailability paved the way for Sewald to claim his second save of the season as he looks to settle in as a high-leverage arm for the Guardians. Through his first 14.2 frames, the veteran right-hander owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB with four holds.

The Guardians reinstated Sewald (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

A strained right shoulder has kept Sewald on the shelf since late April. He began a rehab assignment in the minors June 25, during which he gave up two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out five batters across four innings. Now fully recovered, the 35-year-old will likely claim a middle-relief role in Cleveland's bullpen, pushing out Doug Nikhazy.

Sewald (shoulder) allowed one hit and struck out one over one scoreless inning for Double-A Akron on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Sewald threw bullpen sessions before Friday's activity, which likely signals a rehab assignment in the offing. He's been out since late April and may require a multiple outings before being activated.

Sewald (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday featuring fastballs only, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sewald was added to the 15-day injured list in late April, and a few days later, manager Stephen Vogt said the right-hander would be out "a while." Sewald's been getting weekly checkups, and it appears he's ready to ramp up. He'll need to check the usual boxes before returning to the Guardians by throwing all his pitches in bullpen sessions before facing live hitters and then heading out on a rehab assignment.

Sewald (shoulder) will be rechecked at two-week intervals to determine progress and readiness to begin a throwing program, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt earlier indicated that Sewald would be a out for a while, so these two-week evaluations track with earlier comments. There is still not an estimated timeline for the right-hander's return.
