Gsellman signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Thursday that includes an invite to big-league spring training, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gsellman recorded a 3.77 ERA with the Mets last season, but that came in just 28.2 innings as he was limited by a lat injury. It also came with a very low 14.3 percent strikeout rate. He'll compete for a spot in the Cubs' bullpen ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Gsellman was non-tendered by the Mets on Tuesday, making him a free agent, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gsellman has been a significant bullpen piece for New York over the past few years, but he appeared in only 17 games last season while dealing with torn lat muscle. The 28-year-old had a 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 28.2 innings, and he shouldn't have too much difficulty latching on elsewhere, at least on a minor-league deal.

Gsellman (lat) was activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gsellman last took the mound for the Mets on June 19. However, he began a rehab assignment Sep. 6 and appeared in six games, totaling 6.1 innings while allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits and three walks. Gsellman is likely to serve as a low-leverage reliever across the Mets' final two games, though it's possible that he could work multiple frames.

Gsellman (lat) joined the Mets' taxi squad ahead of the team's season-ending series in Atlanta and could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list this weekend, Anthony Rieber of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being shut down in late June with a torn right lat, Gsellman was cleared to begin a rehab assignment just over two months later. He's since made six rehab appearances between two affiliates, covering 6.1 innings in total while allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits and three walks. If activated this weekend, Gsellman would likely serve as a low-leverage reliever for New York.

Gsellman (lat) made the first appearance of his rehab assignment at Low-A St. Lucie on Sunday, recording two outs while allowing three runs on three hits.

EDGE Analysis

Gsellman threw 12 of his 17 pitches for strikes in the rehab start, but that was about the only positive takeaway in his first outing in affiliated ball since June 19. Because he's been on the shelf for nearly three months with a right lat strain, Gsellman will likely require several more rehab appearances at multiple affiliates before the Mets bring him back from the 60-day injured list.

Gsellman (lat) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old landed on the injured list at the start of the week with a torn right lat and won't throw for six weeks, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. Gsellman will be eligible to be activated in late August.

Gsellman (lat) won't throw for six weeks, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gsellman hit the injured list Monday with a torn right lat and was reported to be out for 6-to-8 weeks. That time frame now seems overly optimistic, as he'll need several weeks to build his arm strength back up even if he's cleared to throw immediately at the six-week mark. A late-August return now appears to be on the optimistic end of his timeline.

Gsellman is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks with a torn right lat, Steve Gelbs of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was placed on the injured list earlier in the day and is now facing an extended absence dur to the injury. It's unclear if Gsellman will require surgery, but he'll be unavailable until at least early August if the initial timeline holds throughout his recovery.

Gsellman (lat) landed on the injured list as expected Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made retroactive to Sunday, meaning he'll be eligible to return next Wednesday. It's not yet clear if that's at all possible, however, with the Mets yet to specify how serious the strain is or when he's expected to return. Jeff McNeil (hamstring) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

The Mets plan to place Gsellman on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lat injury, Andy Martino of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gsellman presumably picked up the injury coming out of his most recent relief appearance in Washington on Saturday, when he gave up a run on three hits over two innings. New York will likely officially announce Gsellman's move to the IL shortly before the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta.
