Ridings signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings hasn't seen any action in the big leagues since the 2021 campaign with the Yankees, so he'll likely serve as bullpen depth at Triple-A. He'll need to stay healthy to have a chance to help the major-league club, which is something he's struggled with throughout his professional career.

Ridings cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster. Ridings, 27, has made just 10 appearances in the minors this season after recovering from a lat strain, holding a 6.75 ERA.

Ridings (lat) has made three appearances and has given up two earned runs on one hit and three walks while striking out five in 2.2 innings since being optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on June 15.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings opened the season on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a right lat strain but was cleared to resume pitching in minor-league games in early June. Because of the extensive time that Ridings missed, the Mets will likely want to see the right-hander pitch effectively in the minors over a longer period of time before he gets a look in the big-league bullpen.

Ridings (lat) remains on the Mets' 60-day injured list and moved his rehab assignment from Single-A St. Lucie to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony DiComo of MLB.com previously reported Thursday that Ridings was reinstated from the IL and optioned to Syracuse, but he'll instead remain off the Mets' 40-man roster for the time being while he continues his rehab program. The 27-year-old, who is working his way back from a lat strain, made three rehab appearances for St. Lucie before striking out the side in his lone inning of relief work Sunday in his Syracuse debut.

The Mets activated Ridings (lat) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings has been on the injured list all season recovering from a lat strain as well as the shoulder problems that he endured last year. He surrendered one run over three innings during his rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie and will now return to Triple-A, where he holds a 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 11 innings in his career.

The Mets transferred Ridings (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Since Ridings didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games prior to opening the season on the 15-day IL, he'll be eligible to come off the 60-day IL as soon as May 29. It's unclear if he'll be ready to go by that point, however, as the Mets haven't provided any updates regarding where he stands in his recovery from the right lat strain that landed him on the shelf. Whenever he advances to the point of being ready to pitch in games, Ridings will likely need multiple minor-league rehab appearances before the Mets consider activating him.

The Mets placed Ridings (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings is still working his way back from a shoulder injury that limited him to just two minor-league rehab appearances in 2022, and though he was expected to pitch in a Grapefruit League game at some point, that never came to fruition before spring training. The Mets are now classifying his injury as a lat strain, but it's unclear whether he suffered any sort of setback with the shoulder issue he dealt with a season ago.

Ridings (shoulder) might not be ready to pitch in a Grapefruit League game before the end of spring training, Michael Mayer of Metsmerized reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings has resumed throwing as he works his way back from a shoulder injury which cost him most of the 2022 season. However, he's still ramping back up slowly and appears to be a lock to begin the season on the injured list. Ridings was claimed off waivers from the Yankees back in November.

Ridings (shoulder) was spotted throwing off the slope of a mound Monday at the Mets' spring workout, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings, whom the Mets claimed off waivers from the Yankees in November, is one of the few members of the 40-man roster who has yet to make his Grapefruit League debut, as the organization appears to be taking things slowly with the 27-year-old reliever while he works back from the right shoulder injury that sidelined him for most of the 2022 season. Given that he's not yet facing hitters with two and a half weeks to go before Opening Day, Ridings appears likely to begin the season on the injured list.

Ridings (shoulder) was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings made his big-league debut for the Yankees in 2021, throwing five innings of relief. He battled shoulder issues for almost the entirety of the 2022 season, throwing just a pair of rehab innings. If he gets healthy over the winter, he could push for a low-leverage relief role next spring.
