Carle won a spot in the Braves' Opening Day bullpen, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander will work in long relief for the Braves, with most of his action likely to come in non-competitive games in which he won't have an opportunity to pick up holds. Carle spent most of the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Albuquerque in the Colorado organization, providing a 5.37 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 62 frames.

Carle was traded to the Braves on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was recently designated for assignment by the Pirates after being claimed off waivers by the club in early January. During the 2017 season with Triple-A Albuquerque in Colorado's system, he posted a pedestrian 5.37 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 62 innings. He did appear in three games with the Rockies, but is likely headed for another campaign at the Triple-A level in 2018.

Carle was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Sunday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carle -- who was claimed by the Pirates in early January -- will be cast off the 40-man roster following the team's trade of Gerrit Cole to the Houston Astros. The 26-year-old spent the majority of the 2017 season in the minor leagues and appears to be on track to open the new season in Triple-A again, whether it be with Pittsburgh or another organization.

Carle was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carle was scooped up by Pittsburgh after being dropped from the Rockies' 40-man roster in favor of Wade Davis, who signed with the club at the end of December. The 26-year-old spent most of the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Albuquerque, posting an unremarkable 5.37 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 50:22 K:BB across 62 innings with the Isotopes. He also made his major-league debut, though he struggled in three appearances for the big club, allowing three earned runs on six hits while fanning four batters in four innings out of bullpen. Carle will likely open next season at Triple-A Indianapolis and offer organizational bullpen depth.

Carle was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Friday, MLBRosterMoves reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carle was cast off the 40-man roster in the wake of Colorado's signing of closer Wade Davis on Friday morning. During the 2017 season, Carle appeared in three games for the club, allowing three earned runs off six hits while striking out four in four innings of relief work. The 26-year-old will likely begin next season in Triple-A Albuquerque, which where he spent a majority of the 2017 campaign.

Carle made two appearances in the month of September, allowing three runs on six hits in three innings of work.

EDGE Analysis

With the Rockies in the thick of a playoff chase, the 26-year-old was rarely used following his September callup. Carle transitioned into a relief role this season at Triple-A, but with a 5.37 ERA and a middling strikeout rate with the Isotopes, he doesn't pose as much more than organizational depth unless something drastically changes.

Carle was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty has pitched one inning in the big leagues this year, so this won't technically be his big-league debut, but he is very green. He logged a 5.37 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 62 innings in the Pacific Coast League this year. Look for him to work in low-leverage spots.

Carle was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carle wound up being the roster casualty as a result of Jake McGee's return from the disabled list. The 25-year-old didn't make an appearance during this cup of coffee with Colorado, although he very well could make a return trip to LoDo once rosters expand in September.

Carle was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He pitched the only big-league inning of his career earlier this season, and has logged 6.05 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 55 innings, primarily out of the bullpen at Triple-A. Look for Carle to be used in low-leverage spots.

Carle was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carle ended up making his major-league debut during his four-day stint with the big club, striking out one in a scoreless inning against San Francisco. He figures to ride the shuttle throughout most of the season, providing a fresh arm occasionally when the bullpen has been taxed.
