Kaminsky (undisclosed) was release by the Cardinals on Monday, per MiLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky appeared in one game this season at Triple-A Memphis, tossing a scoreless frame while striking out one and walking one. He was placed on the 7-day injured list Saturday due to an undisclosed injury before being released by the club Monday.

The Cardinals signed Kaminsky to a minor-league contract Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third stint in the organization for Kaminsky, who was drafted in the first round by St. Louis back in 2013. The left-hander's lone major-league experience came in 2020 with the Cardinals when he allowed three runs (one earned) with a 3:2 K:BB over 4.2 frames. Kaminsky spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Tacoma in the Mariners organization, holding a 7.66 ERA and 45:17 K:BB in 47 innings.

The Mariners signed Kaminsky to a minor-league contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky spent last season in the Mariners organization, posting a 7.52 ERA and 18:8 K:BB over 20.1 innings during his time at Triple-A Tacoma. He'll return to Tacoma and provide Seattle some left-handed relief depth at its top affiliate.

Kaminsky signed a minor-league contract Friday with the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

It's more of a return to the Mariners organization, as Kaminsky spent the majority of 2022 at Double-A Arkansas and struggled to a 4.91 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 36.2 innings.

Kaminsky signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Thursday, per the MLB transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky spent the 2021 season with the Phillies, though he threw only one inning due to an elbow injury. He has been assigned to Double-A Arkansas, despite the fact that he has past major-league experience. It's unlikely that Kaminsky will see action in the majors during the 2022 campaign, but if he does, it would likely come in a low-leverage relief role.

Kaminsky signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky threw 4.2 innings in his major-league debut for the Cardinals last season, allowing one earned run. The 26-year-old give the Phillies some added depth from the left side but won't be one of the first names called up when a bullpen vacancy opens up, as he's not on the 40-man roster.

The Cardinals outrighted Kaminsky to their alternate training site over the weekend after he went unclaimed off waivers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

The organization is shutting down workouts at its alternate site for the remainder of the season, so unless Kaminsky receives an invite to the Cardinals' taxi squad, his 2020 campaign is over. The 2013 first-round pick will remain in the organization through the conclusion of the season before becoming a minor-league free agent this winter.

The Cardinals designated Kaminsky for assignment Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster for pitcher Johan Oviedo, who was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Brewers. Assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers, Kaminsky would remain in the St. Louis organization and report to their alternate training site in Springfield. Kaminsky has made five relief appearances for St. Louis this season, giving up two earned runs on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings.

Kaminsky, who fired a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed one hit in Monday's loss to the Cubs, has now put together three scoreless, one-inning appearances to open his major-league career.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw had his share of troubles at Triple-A Memphis last season, posting a 5.11 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 24.2 innings. However, Kaminsky also generated an impressive and career-high 11.5 K/9 over that span, and although he hasn't been anywhere near as dominant during his small big-league sample (6.0 K/9), the 26-year-old's 13.2 percent swinging-strike rate does hint at the potential for an elevated strikeout rate over time.

Kaminsky was recalled from the Cardinals' alternate training site Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaminsky tossed two clean innings during his first stint in the majors, and he'll rejoin the team's pitching staff as part of a string of transactions. The southpaw should pitch mainly in lower-leverage situations.
