Diehl was released by the Guardians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl has spent all of 2023 at Triple-A Columbus, where he posted a 6.89 ERA and 35:20 K:BB over 32.2 innings. The lefty has had gaudy strikeout totals at times in the minors but has managed just a 9.47 ERA and 15:6 K:BB over 19 frames at the major-league level.

Diehl was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl signed as a non-roster invitee in February and didn't allow a run in four appearances during spring training, but he wasn't able to make Cleveland's Opening Day roster. The left-hander has a 9.47 ERA in 21 career big-league outings, and he's unlikely to be more than a low-leverage option should he see the majors this season.

Diehl signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl has received an invitation to major-league spring training. The 28-year-old has seen action in 21 appearances at the big-league level across parts of three seasons, posting a 9.47 ERA. He'll give the Guardians some left-handed relief depth.

Diehl elected free agency Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl made five relief appearances with the Reds earlier in 2022, but he never made it to the big leagues after May and was dealt to the Mets in July. Over his 16.1 innings at Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization, Diehl posted an 8.82 ERA and 1.99 WHIP.

Diehl and Tyler Naquin were traded from the Reds to the Mets on Thursday in exchange for Jose Acuna and Hector Rodriguez, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl began the season pitching out of the big-league bullpen for Cincinnati but was designated for assignment after allowing seven earned runs across his first 5.2 innings. He has pitched with Triple-A Louisville since, but he may have the opportunity to work low-leverage innings with the Mets.

Diehl cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl was designated for assignment by Cincinnati on Monday, but he'll remain in the organization after losing his spot on the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old has posted a 2.73 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 62.2 innings over 66 appearances in Louisville over the last two seasons.

The Reds designated Diehl for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll end up losing his spot on both the Reds' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster with Cincinnati needing an opening on the latter for Luis Castillo (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in advance of his start Monday against the Brewers. During his nearly two-week stint with the big club, Diehl appeared in five games out of the bullpen and gave up seven earned runs on eight hits and three walks over 5.2 innings.

Diehl's contract was selected by the Reds on Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl has made eight relief appearances at Triple-A Louisville this year, and he posted a 4.50 ERA and 0.75 WHIP in eight innings. He appeared in 16 games with the Rockies in 2019 and 2020 and recorded an 8.78 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 13.1 innings. The southpaw will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever for Cincinnati.

The Reds reassigned Diehl to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl has made 16 career appearances in the majors, all of which came with the Rockies between the 2019 and 2020 seasons. He's back with the Reds organization for the second year in a row after he pitched exclusively with Triple-A Louisville in 2021. He was one of the affiliate's top bullpen arms, as he submitted a 2.47 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 71:12 K:BB across 54.2 innings.

The Reds outrighted Diehl to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Diehl remains in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers when the Reds designated him for assignment over the weekend. His lack of a 40-man roster spot will likely hurt the reliever's chances of surfacing with the big club at any point in the near future.
