The Astros claimed Bannon off waivers from the Cubs on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Two weeks after being claimed by the Cubs from Atlanta, Bannon will now be on the move to Houston. Bannon did well during his time in Triple-A last season, though it's hard to imagine him getting consistent playing time in the Astros' star-studded infield. If anything, he'll compete with Mauricio Dubon and David Hensley for reps as a backup infielder.

The Cubs claimed Bannon off of waivers from Atlanta on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon spent the vast majority of last season in Triple-A, slashing .249/.367/.421 and collecting 77 RBI through 411 plate appearances. Infield depth was an issue for the Cubs last season, so it's possible that Bannon makes a few appearances for Chicago in 2023, but he will more than likely serve primarily as a minor-league piece for now.

Bannon was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon was called up by Atlanta on Sunday but saw minimal playing time during his stint with the major-league club. He'll head back to the minors after Ehire Adrianza (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Bannon was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon, who was claimed off waivers after getting designated for assignment by the Orioles a little over a month ago, will take the spot on the active roster of Ozzie Albies (fractured pinky). Bannon hit .323/.432/.477 with two home runs and four steals in 20 games since joining Atlanta's organization.

Atlanta claimed Bannon off waivers from the Dodgers and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon finds a new home after the Dodgers designated him for assignment Friday. The infielder's only four games of MLB action came in May with the Orioles, and it would likely take more injuries in Atlanta's big-league infield for Bannon to get a call-up.

Bannon was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Monday after being designated for assignment by the Orioles, but he didn't even get the chance to play in a minor-league game before he was designated again. As a 26-year-old with just four major-league games under his belt, he may not generate much interest on waivers this time around.

Bannon was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Monday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon will return to the organization he was drafted by in 2017 after he was designated for assignment by the Orioles this week. The 26-year-old appeared in four games with Baltimore this year, going 2-for-14 with five strikeouts. Overall, Bannon has produced a .229 average with 11 homers, 58 RBI, 45 runs and six stolen bases over 275 at-bats in 78 games while spending the majority of the season with Triple-A Norfolk.

Bannon was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon was recalled from Norfolk on Tuesday and will return there without making an appearance for Baltimore. Jonathan Arauz was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Orioles recalled Bannon from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bannon was added to the 26-man roster as a replacement for reliever Mike Baumann, who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk with Baltimore needing to reduce its pitching staff to 13 men ahead of Monday's MLB-imposed deadline. While he's up with the Orioles, Bannon is expected to serve as the primary backup at third base to Tyler Nevin, who is filling an everyday role at the position while Ramon Urias (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.

The Orioles optioned Bannon to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
With outfielder Austin Hays (hand) returning to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees and infielder Jorge Mateo (shoulder/chest) perhaps in line to start Wednesday, manager Brandon Hyde said getting an extra arm in the bullpen was a greater priority than keeping Bannon around as position-player depth. Reliever Logan Gillaspie was called up from Norfolk to replace Bannon, who appeared in four games and went 2-for-14 with five strikeouts during his brief time in the big leagues.
