Tuivailala was dealt to Seattle on Friday in exchange for Seth Elledge.

EDGE Analysis

Tuivailala had appeared in 31 games for the Cardinals this season, logging a 3.69 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 26 strikeouts in 31.2 innings of relief. He will add another bullpen arm to the stable in Seattle upon his arrival.

Tuivailala (3-3) fired a scoreless 1.2 innings in an extra-innings victory over the Reds on Tuesday, allowing one hit and recording two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The right-handed reliever now has three straight scoreless outings, a span during which he's picked up two of his three wins on the season. It's a nice rebound for Tuivailala, who'd allowed a total of five runs (four earned) in the two appearances prior to his current streak. Although he's had a few hiccups, the 25-year-old has been solid overall, compiling four holds as well while generating a serviceable 3.69 ERA across 31.2 innings over 31 appearances.

Tuivailala (1-3), who took the loss against the Phillies on Wednesday while surrendering an earned run on two hits and recording a strikeout over an inning, now has a 6.14 ERA across 7.1 June frames.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander has allowed at least one earned run in half of his eight appearances during the month and has suffered two losses overall. Tuivailala has also managed three holds during that span, so it hasn't all been doom and gloom. However, after allowing just one earned run across 11 outings between early April and late May, Tuivailala has yielded six overall in his last nine trips to the mound.

Tuivailala (1-1) allowed an earned run on four hits over two innings in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday. He also recorded a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Tuivailala was called on to prevent further damage after Tyler Lyons had surrendered a game-tying solo home run to Christian Yelich to open the seventh. However, he ran into trouble quickly as well, allowing singles to Jesus Aguilar and Danny Santana over the first three batters he faced. Following a swinging strikeout of Jonathan Villar, the right-handed reliever surrendered a go-ahead hit to Orlando Arcia, which gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead that would ultimately prove to be the final margin of victory. It was Tuivailala's first loss of the season, and it snapped what had been a seven-appearance scoreless streak.

Tuivailala (1-0) fired a scoreless seventh inning in a win over the Pirates on Sunday, recording a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Tuivailala fired all eight of his pitches for strikes while extending what has been a stellar month. Factoring in Sunday's outing, he's allowed a minuscule 1.08 ERA and generated an 8:1 K:BB across 8.1 May innings.

Tuivailala fired a scoreless inning in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday, recording two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old right-hander has now generated four consecutive scoreless efforts, and he's accomplished the feat in five of his six outings overall since returning from the disabled list. Tuivailala has been demonstrating plenty of swing-and-miss upside over that stretch as well, recording seven strikeouts over the seven innings encompassing those appearances.

Tuivailala fired two perfect innings in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Cubs, recording one strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Tuivailala was just activated from the disabled list Friday after a near-month-long absence due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old picked up where he'd left off in his last outing on April 9, when he'd fired a pair of scoreless frames against the Brewers. Tuivailala's ability to work more than one inning as necessary -- a role he was particularly prepped for during his minor-league rehab assignment -- should render him a valuable component of the bullpen as long as his health endures.

Tuivailala (knee) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old wound up missing nearly a month of action due to a left knee strain. Tuivailala was stretched out a bit during his rehab assignment, so he could be used in a long-relief role now that he's back in action. First baseman Luke Voit was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the active roster.

Tuivailala (knee) is being stretched out for an extended-relief role during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Because the team wants to have Tuivailala throw more than one inning in an appearance, it's possible that his rehab assignment could be extended so he can get additional reps in the minors. Tuivailala has appeared in two games (two innings) during his rehab assignment with Memphis, allowing one run on two hits and a walk.

Tuivailala (knee) departed for Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday and will officially begin his rehab assignment Wednesday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to general manager Michael Hirsch, Tuivailala will need to be able to work multiple innings and pitch on back-to-back days before he's deemed as ready to return to the big-league club. The recovering reliever isn't expected to be on his assignment for very long according to Girsch, who labeled him as "relatively close to being ready to go."
