Nolin agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rockies, which includes an invite to spring training, Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nolin was a part of the infamous 2014 Josh Donaldson trade, as he was one of four pieces -- Brett Lawrie, Kendall Graveman and Franklin Barreto being the other three -- sent from the Blue Jays to Oakland in order to acquire the slugging third basemen. Nolin started six total games with the Athletics -- all in 2015 -- and he allowed 35 hits in 29.0 innings pitched. He spent the 2016 and 2017 seasons rehabbing from Tommy John surgery as a member of the Brewers' organization. The 28-year-old figures to serve as organizational depth in 2018, if he even remains with the Rockies' organization.

Nolin (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With this move, Nolin comes off the 60-day DL but remains off the 40-man roster. A waiver acquisition from Oakland in February, Nolin injured his elbow in spring training and ultimately underwent Tommy John surgery in August. Chances are, he will miss the entire 2017 campaign.

Nolin (elbow) had Tommy John surgery two weeks ago, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a career ERA and WHIP of 6.89 and 1.79, the Brewers had decided that they wanted to convert Nolin to a bullpen role. This could very well help improve the longevity of his elbow upon his activation from the DL. A timeframe for Nolin's return should become known when he gets farther into the rehab process.

Nolin (elbow) might be headed for Tommy John surgery, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Craig Counsell said the team and the player will soon make a decision as to whether Nolin will undergo Tommy John surgery, and in cases like this, surgery typically ends up being the call. Nolin is not really on the fantasy radar, as he was likely to be converted to a reliever full time anyway. Look for the decision to come down in the coming days.

Nolin (elbow) hasn't started throwing following the elbow injury he incurred during spring training, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nolin was in Milwaukee on Friday to have his elbow examined, but it appears that he hasn't done much in terms of baseball activities to move along in his rehab process. It doesn't appear that the left-hander will be back very soon.

Nolin (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day DL Sunday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nolin had already been on the 15-day DL due to an elbow strain, but this move will open up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Brewers. He was originally placed on the disabled list retroactive to March 25, so a late-May return is the most likely scenario at this point.

Nolin (elbow) received the results of his MRI Thursday and has an elbow strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nolin has already been placed on the disabled list to start the season, so he'll miss at least a bit of time to start the season. This is better news than having a tear, so that should help the left-hander get back to action sooner. Nolin will get a second opinion on his elbow prior to taking any action, so things should become clearer once that happens. While he's out, Chris Capuano will act as the main left-hander in the Brewers bullpen.

Nolin (elbow) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, retroactive to March 25.

EDGE Analysis

Nolin was scheduled for an MRI earlier in the week, but there hasn't been any update regarding the results. Even if he makes a quick recovery, he'll likely get most of his work in medium and low-leverage situations.

Nolin (elbow) will undergo an MRI to look for structural damage, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The club had already reported that Nolin will begin the season on the disabled list, but his injured elbow has apparently not shown any improvement yet. The exact extent of the ailment remains unclear, but the results of the MRI should provide a more precise timetable for the lefty's return.

Nolin (elbow) will open the season on the disabled list, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nolin hasn't pitched in a Cactus League game since the middle of March, and with his elbow injury likely to result in a shutdown through the end of spring training, the left-hander won't be ready for Opening Day. Once he returns to full health, Nolin could have an opportunity to snag a spot in the Brewers bullpen.
