Solomon signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon allowed 18 earned runs in just 13.1 innings with the Diamondbacks last season, and he wasn't too successful in Triple-A either (10.00 ERA through 54 innings). He'll now attempt to get back on track in the Rangers' farm system, but a drastic turnaround would be necessary for the team to even consider adding the 27-year-old righty to their big-league staff.

Solomon elected free agency Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon, 27, got into five games with the Diamondbacks this season, getting roughed up for 18 runs over 13.1 frames. He'll surely have to settle for a minor-league pact this winter.

Solomon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He's no longer on the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Solomon has posted an ugly 12.15 ERA over five relief appearances at the major-league level this season.

Arizona designated Solomon for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after the Diamondbacks needed to clear room for outfield prospect Kristian Robinson (hamstring), who was reinstated from the restricted list. Since being optioned to Triple-A Reno on May 3 following a month-long stay in the big leagues, Solomon posted a 9.31 ERA and 2.17 WHIP over 9.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks optioned Solomon to Triple-A Reno following Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon wasn't needed in relief Tuesday, but he'll lose his spot on the 26-man active roster in any case after the Diamondbacks promoted right-hander Brandon Pfaadt from Triple-A in a corresponding move in advance of his scheduled start in Wednesday's series finale in Texas. During the three-plus weeks he was up with the big club, Solomon made five relief appearances and was blitzed for 18 earned runs on 17 hits and 11 walks over 13.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks selected Solomon's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon joins the Diamondbacks after Arizona placed Zach Davies on the 15-day injured list with a strained left oblique. The right-hander will be a multi-inning bullpen option for the Diamondbacks and look to make his first MLB appearance since 2021, when he was a member of the Astros.

Solomon was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon was bidding for one of the final spots in the Diamondbacks' bullpen, but his 2023 campaign will instead start with Triple-Reno. The former Houston prospect has a good chance of making appearances for Arizona before the end of the 2023 season, but the D-Backs will have to add him to the 40-man roster in order for that to take place.

Solomon allowed one hit and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's spring start against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
This was Solomon's first Cactus League appearance since March 10, as the right-hander has been victimized by rainouts and a logjam of starters needing work. He's pitched plenty on the back fields while vying for a multi-inning relief role. "There's consistency with the stuff," manager Torey Lovullo told Owen Perkins of MLB.com. "He pitches to spots, pitches to a game plan. I think there's an opportunity to see what he can do in certain situations and give us some length." Solomon was selected in the Rule 5 draft over the winter and could grab a bullpen spot. The decision appears to hinge on whether Lovullo is comfortable moving whichever young starter -- Drey Jameson or Ryne Nelson -- loses out on the No. 5 job to relief.

Solomon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solomon was claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh in early September but won't stick on the 40-man roster through the offseason. He spent the entire 2022 campaign at the Triple-A level and had a 5.58 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 98:54 K:BB across 109.2 innings.

The Pirates claimed Solomon off waivers from the Astros on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old right-hander had been one of the top pitching prospects in the upper levels of the Astros' farm system, but Houston's ample starting depth at the big-league level made it tough for Solomon to get an extended opportunity in the majors. Though he'll head to Triple-A with his new organization, the Pirates should at least present Solomon with a clearer path to pitching meaningful innings in the majors either later this year or next season. Over his 97 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2022, Solomon posted a 5.20 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 88:44 K:BB in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
