The Angels signed Poppen to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poppen was released by the Mariners earlier this month after allowing four earned runs in 3.1 innings during his first two appearances at Triple-A Tacoma. The 30-year-old holds a career 5.08 ERA over 67.1 major-league frames but hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2022.

The Mariners released Poppen on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Poppen gave up four earned runs in 3.1 innings during his first two appearances at Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll now look to latch on with another organization -- likely on a minor-league deal. The 30-year-old righty owns a 5.08 career ERA through 67.1 frames, though he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022.

The Mariners reassigned Poppen to minor-league camp, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Poppen appeared in two games for the Mariners this spring, surrendering just one hit while striking out three batters, but he will be removed from big-league camp nonetheless. Poppen logged a 6.33 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over 58.1 innings in Triple-A last season and will presumably begin the season in Tacoma.

Poppen signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Jan. 18 and received an invitation to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Poppen spent all of last season with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate, accumulating a 6.33 ERA and 1.88 WHIP across 58.1 innings in 47 appearances. Barring a significant turnaround from the 29-year-old righty during spring camp, Poppen should return to Triple-A to begin the new season.

Poppen cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A El Paso.

EDGE Analysis

After being claimed off waivers from Arizona in December, Poppen is now set to begin 2023 in the minors. The 28-year-old reliever split time between the major and minor leagues last season, but he will likely need to improve upon his Triple-A stats (4.62 ERA and 1.31 WHIP) in order get back into the Padres' bullpen.

Poppen was claimed off waivers from Arizona by the Padres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Poppen recorded a 4.40 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 28.2 innings in 2022 -- all career bests for the 28-year-old reliever. However, his improved ERA and WHIP was met by a career-low 6.91 K/9, which significantly hinders his fantasy value.

Poppen was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Poppen made 26 relief appearances for the Diamondbacks earlier in the season and posted a 3.91 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 25.1 innings. He's been in the minors since July 10 but will rejoin Arizona's bullpen after Luis Frias was sent down Wednesday. Poppen has picked up three holds in the majors this year but will likely serve mainly as a middle reliever over the final week of the regular season.

The Diamondbacks optioned Poppen to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona will swap Poppen out of its bullpen for another right-hander in Edwin Uceta, who was recalled from Reno. Following his June 28 call-up from Triple-A, Poppen appeared in four games for Arizona and gave up four earned runs on five hits and two walks over 3.2 innings.

Poppen was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was optioned to Reno on Sunday but will quickly rejoin Arizona with Zach Davies (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Poppen has appeared in 22 games for the Diamondbacks this year and has a 2.91 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB over 21.2 innings.

Poppen was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has a 2.91 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings this season, but he'll lose his spot on the big-league roster to Dallas Keuchel, who is starting Sunday against Detroit. Poppen should receive another opportunity in the majors this year given his solid numbers.
