Brito was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Brito was acquired by the Blue Jays from the Padres at the start of April but struggled massively with three hits and 17 strikeouts in 43 plate appearances. The 26-year-old could be headed to Triple-A Buffalo if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Brito went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
His second-inning single brought home the first of four Jays runs in the inning, and also marked Brito's first base knock in nine games with the team. His athleticism keeps getting him big-league opportunities, but the 26-year-old's .530 career OPS in 202 plate appearances puts him far off the fantasy radar.

Brito is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Following his acquisition last week, Brito entered the starting nine for three of the Blue Jays' four games in Cleveland over the weekend. The outfielder failed to impress in his initial action with Toronto, finishing the series 0-for-10 with five strikeouts. Brito should still be in the mix for semi-regular playing time with the Blue Jays, but the trio of Teoscar Hernandez, Billy McKinney and Randal Grichuk looks like manager Charlie Montoyo's preferred outfield arrangement at the moment.

Brito is leading off and starting in right field Friday against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
This is the second straight game Brito has gotten the start in right field, but it's his first game leading off in the order. The 26-year-old had an uninspiring .175/.227/.250 slash line through 24 games last year, but it looks like Toronto is just trying to see what they have with Brito with fellow right fielder Billy McKinney starting the year off 2-for-20. It will probably be a few more games before the Blue Jays figure out their regular outfield rotation after sending veteran Kevin Pillar to the Giants on Wednesday.

Brito is starting in right field and hitting ninth Thursday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Brito, who was acquired from the Padres earlier in the week, is set to make his Blue Jays debut. The 26-year-old owns a career .202/.229/.351 line across parts of three major-league seasons (82 games) and figures to fill a reserve outfield role during his time with Toronto.

Brito was sent from San Diego to Toronto on Tuesday in exchange for Rodrigo Orozco.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays had an outfield spot open after traded Kevin Pillar to the Giants earlier in the day. With a career .202/.229/.351 line in 82 career games, Brito's role is expected to be a bench one.

Brito was designated for assignment by the Padres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Brito was claimed off waivers from Arizona on Wednesday, making the Padres' Opening Day roster despite what was already a glut of outfielders. With Nick Margevicius needing to be added to the 40-man roster Saturday ahead of his debut start, Brito was cast off the roster before receiving a single at-bat.

Brito was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Wednesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a somewhat odd move, as the Padres' outfield seems to be quite full already with Wil Myers, Manuel Margot, Franmil Reyes, Hunter Renfroe and Franchy Cordero. It's possible Brito will win a bench role, possibly over Cordero, but the Padres could also be attempting to send Brito back through waivers again and have him serve a depth role at the Triple-A level.

The Diamondbacks placed Brito on outright waivers Monday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The timing of the transaction was less than ideal for Arizona, which saw outfielder Steven Souza suffer a left knee injury in Monday's exhibition against the White Sox. With Souza likely headed for IL to open the season, Brito is no longer a candidate to provide extra insurance in the outfield now that he's without a spot on the 40-man roster. The Diamondbacks are hopeful to keep Brito in the organization at Triple-A Reno, but he'll have to go unclaimed off waivers before that happens.

Brito is not expected to make the Opening Day roster, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brito was on the roster bubble all spring until it burst Sunday when the Diamonbacks made a flurry of decisions. One of those decisions was to keep a third catcher, costing Brito a spot. He didn't have a good spring (9-for-54, .167), with five other outfielders on board, Brito would have a hard time getting at-bats.
