Atlanta reassigned Widener to minor-league camp Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Widener logged 49 appearances in the majors with the Diamondbacks between the 2020 and 2022 seasons before making a one-year stop in the Korea Baseball Organization in 2023 with the Samsung Lions. After compiling a 4.54 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 115 innings for the Lions, Widener returned stateside this offseason, settling for a minor-league deal with Atlanta. As anticipated, Widener fell short in his bid for Atlanta's Opening Day roster, so he'll likely open the 2024 season as a member of the Triple-A Gwinnett rotation.

Widener signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Dec. 11.

EDGE Analysis

Widener is headed back stateside after a one-season stint in the Korea Baseball Organization. The 29-year-old right-hander will likely open the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Widener signed with the NC Dinos of Korea on Tuesday, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

Widener will be paid $743,000 to head overseas after being removed from the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster earlier this month. The 28-year-old holds a 4.26 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 49 appearances -- 13 starts -- at the major-league level.

Widener was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Jan. 5 after clearing waivers.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old right-hander thus remains in the Arizona organization after being recently moved off the 40-man roster. Widener made 14 appearances out of the Diamondbacks bullpen in 2022, logging a 3.63 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 17.1 innings.

Widener was designated for assignment by Arizona on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old reliever recorded a career-best 3.63 ERA alongside a 1.56 WHIP through 17.1 major-league frames last season. He dominated against left-handed batters -- they hit just .087 off Widener in 2022 -- though righties were able to hit him around quite a bit (.392 AVG). There's a good chance Widener gets claimed by another team, where he could still serve as a serviceable bullpen option in 2023.

Widener was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Widener's fourth major league stint this season, with his last appearance coming all the way back on June 6. He's given up five earned runs over 4.2 innings in 2022 and in Triple-A holds a 5.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. Tommy Henry will be optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.
