Meisinger signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger hasn't pitched anywhere yet this season after finishing last year with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League. He's been assigned to Double-A Chattanooga.

The Diamondbacks released Meisinger on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After inking a minor-league deal with Arizona in March, Meisinger spent the first six weeks of the season at Triple-A Reno, where he turned in a 6.14 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over 14.2 innings across 13 relief appearances. The 28-year-old right-hander had previously spent time in the majors in the 2018, 2020 and 2021 seasons with the Orioles, Cardinals and Cubs.

Meisinger signed a minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks in March, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger spent the 2021 campaign with the Cubs and Dodgers, though the majority of his appearances came at Triple-A. He did show strong skills at the level, punching out 62 batters across only 40.1 innings. If he maintains that form, it's possible that he contributes to the Arizona bullpen at some point during the regular season.

Meisinger was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger was called up by the Dodgers on the first day of the month, but the team decided to swap him out for fellow reliever Andrew Vasquez one day later. Meisinger could get another chance to pitch for the big club before the season ends should the Dodgers need to add a reliever.

Meisinger was recalled by the Dodgers on Wednesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Tuesday, and he'll join the major-league bullpen as part of Wednesday's roster expansion. The right-hander made seven relief appearances with the Cubs earlier in the year and recorded a 12.27 ERA and 2.18 WHIP in 7.1 innings.

Meisinger was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers from the Cubs on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger was removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster Saturday after allowing 10 earned runs on 11 hits and five walks across 7.1 major-league innings. The right-hander is one of two Chicago relievers heading to Los Angeles, with Jake Jewell also being claimed by the Dodgers on Tuesday. Both Meisinger and Jewell have minor-league options, so it's possible one or both are assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, though each could be candidates to join the major-league club when rosters expand Wednesday.

The Cubs designated Meisinger for assignment Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty has appeared in seven games since joining the Cubs on Aug. 12, posting a 12.27 ERA and 6:5 K:BB in 7.1 innings of relief. Considering his poor numbers, Meisinger should clear waivers without issue and be back with Triple-A Iowa in a couple days.

Meisinger's contract was selected by the Cubs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger served as a non-roster invitee this spring but began the year at Triple-A Iowa. He logged a 4.25 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 29.2 innings across 24 relief appearances in the minors, and he'll provide a fresh relief arm after left-hander Kyle Ryan was designated for assignment.

Meisinger was added to the Cubs' player pool Thursday and will join the team's minor-league camp, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger joined the Cubs on a minor-league deal at the start of March. He owns a 5.70 ERA in 23.2 career innings at the major-league level, so it's unlikely he'll fill anything but a low-leverage role this season if he finds his way onto the active roster.

Meisinger cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Cardinals' alternate training site Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Meisinger made just two relief appearances this season, throwing 2.2 scoreless innings. He'll remain in an organizational depth role for the Cardinals.
