Rosenthal didn't pitch Tuesday due to a calf injury, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal apparently wanted to pitch anyway, but it was an unnecessary risk so early in spring training. The veteran right-hander figures to take it easy for a day or two before retaking the mound.

Rosenthal signed a minor-league deal with the Royals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal had a disaster of a season in his first year back from Tommy John surgery last year, posting a 13.50 ERA and a 30.6 percent walk rate over 15.1 innings with the Nationals and Tigers. Still just 29 years old and with a career 3.46 ERA over parts of seven seasons in the majors, there's certainly a chance he turns things around this year, but he'll need a significant improvement to be worthy of even a low-leverage role. Rosenthal will receive an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal and will earn a base salary of $2 million if he's able to make the team.

Rosenthal agreed Tuesday with the Yankees on a minor-league contract, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander will move on to his third different organization of the season after failing to find success in stints with the Nationals and Tigers. The Yankees likely aren't counting on Rosenthal to fill a vital role in the big-league bullpen down the stretch, but the 29-year-old makes for an interesting flier if he can regain the command he showed prior to undergoing Tommy John surgery in August 2017.

Rosenthal cleared waivers Saturday and has elected his free agency.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal was designated for assignment Wednesday after surrendering five runs and issuing four walks in his last two appearances. The 29-year-old right-hander owns a 0-1 record with a 13.50 ERA, 2.41 WHIP and 17:26 K:BB in 15.1 innings. The veteran reliever hopes that a team will take another chance on him because of his playoff experience and long-term success in St. Louis.

Rosenthal was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This move comes after Rosenthal was tagged for five runs while posting a 1:4 K:BB across his past two appearances (spanning just one inning). The reliever now owns an unsightly 13.50 ERA, 2.41 WHIP and 17:26 K:BB across 15.1 innings this season. Detroit is expected to announce a corresponding roster move prior to Thursday's series opener against the Royals.

Rosenthal allowed an unearned run on two walks in an inning of work in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal labored a bit, needing 21 pitches to get through the eighth inning, but he's now logged two appearances with his new team without allowing an earned run. That's of course a minuscule sample size, but considering Rosenthal posted a 22.74 ERA in 6.1 innings with the Nationals earlier in the season, small steps are welcome at this point. The righty is in his first season back after missing all of 2018 due to Tommy John surgery, and the 29-63 Tigers can afford to be patient with Rosenthal and see if he can regain his form from earlier in his career.

Rosenthal's contract was selected by the Tigers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal is having a tough time in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. He was cut by the Nationals after posting a 22.74 ERA in 6.1 innings and now has a 7.36 ERA in 14.2 innings at the Triple-A level. The rebuilding Tigers have little reason not to take a flyer on him, but nothing in his statline suggests that fantasy owners should do the same.

Rosenthal allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while retiring just a single batter in his debut for Triple-A Toledo Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal joined the Tigers on a minor-league contract Saturday, and his debut with his new organization was forgettable. The righty's fastball sat at 98 mph, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com, but Beck also noted that Rosenthal seemed to tire quickly, as he finished his outing by hitting a batter on an 0-2 pitch then issuing a walk. Rosenthal was a disaster in Washington this year with a 22.74 ERA across 6.1 innings, and he'll have to perform better than this in the minors if he wants to resurface at the MLB level this season.

Rosenthal signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers and will be assigned to Triple-A Toledo.
EDGE Analysis
This had been in the works for several days and is now official. Rosenthal was cut loose by the Nationals after posting a disastrous 22.74 ERA and 3.63 WHIP in 12 appearances. The 29-year-old can still pump gas, averaging 98 mph on his fastball, but the command has yet to return following 2017 Tommy John surgery.

Rosenthal is expected to a sign a minor-league deal with the Tigers, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rosenthal was released by the Nationals on Sunday, but won't have to let wait long to find a new club. In 6.1 innings with the Nationals, he struggled mightily with control, walking 15 batters and surrendering 16 earned runs.
