O'Brien went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien opened the game's scoring with a solo shot in the second inning before driving in another run in the seventh. It was the 28-year-old's first big league homer since 2016 and his first two RBI of the season.

O'Brien had his contract purchased from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien was traded from the Dodgers to the Marlins back in June. The 28-year-old has spent the entire season in the minors, slashing a combined .216/.330/.506 with 30 homers across 110 games between Double- and Triple-A. He'll serve as a right-handed power bat off the bench for the Marlins. O'Brien owns a career .176/.228/.446 slash line with six homers across 79 big-league plate appearances.

The Marlins acquired O'Brien from the Dodgers on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien appeared in 36 games for the Diamondbacks between the 2015 and 2016 seasons and showed some pop with five home runs, but slashed .176/.228/.446 with 32 strikeouts in 79 plate appearances. The 27-year-old bounced between Double and Triple-A last season, and has struggled with a .150/.241/.390 line at Double-A Tulsa in 2018. O'Brien will report to Double-A Jacksonville with his new organization.

The Dodgers sent O'Brien to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien was designated for assignment Monday but will remain with the organization as outfield depth. His power is tantalizing, but thanks to woeful plate discipline and defensive shortcomings, he continues to struggle landing a sustained role in which he can convert that thump into production. Even with those flaws, he remains a watch candidate for deep dynasty fantasy leagues.

O'Brien was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers needed to clear room on the roster for recently acquired Tony Watson, and it appears O'Brien was the chosen roster casualty. He's been with five organizations this season, so it's safe to assume he'll continue to serve as organizational depth wherever he ends up next.

O'Brien was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Sunday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday after getting off to a very sluggish start within their minor-league system this season. The Dodgers will immediately assign O'Brien to Triple-A Oklahoma City where he'll serve as organizational outfield depth moving forward. Jason Wheeler was DFA'd to open up the roster spot.

O'Brien was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien, who has already been with four organizations in 2017, was cast off the Rangers' 40-man roster after struggling mightily in the minors this season (combined .167/.254/.301 with 62 strikeouts in 209 plate appearances). The move was made to make room for Ernesto Frieri. The 26-year-old could draw some interest on waivers given his power potential (combined 122 homer across six minor-league seasons).

O'Brien was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Saturday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll head to Triple-A upon arriving to the Rangers organization. O'Brien, who had a tremendous spring training with the Royals, has struggled to carry that momentum over into the season and has been designated for assignment twice this year. He hit just .200 with six strikeouts over 24 at-bats during his stint at Triple-A Louisville in the Reds organization.

The Reds designatedO'Brien for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It's an all too familiar read for O'Brien, who received a DFA by the Royals on May 10 before Cincinnati claimed him. Perhaps he'll stay in the Cincinnati system, but it doesn't look like he'll have a clear shot at big-league at-bats for the near future. Still, for all his flaws with plate discipline, he carries tantalizing power that an organization may once day embrace, which makes him a perennial fantasy watch candidate.

O'Brien was claimed off waivers by the Reds and optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien was designated for assignment by the Royals last week after slashing just .162/.235/.276 over the first 27 games at Triple-A. Although he has seen time in the majors over the previous two seasons, his .176 batting average with 32 strikeouts in 74 at-bats will likely keep him as organizational depth. Pitcher Brandon Finnegan (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list to clear room on the roster for O'Brien.
