Gosewisch went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's 6-5 win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
After being called up May 5, Gosewisch has just one hit and 10 strikeouts in 19 at-bats for a .053 average. He will continue serving as the backup to Carlos Ruiz, at least until the M's feel that Mike Zunino is ready for another go around at major league pitching. Gosewisch can be ignored in all formats.

Gosewisch was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gosewisch hasn't been particularly great for Tacoma, where he owns a .240/.339/.320 batting line over 17 games, but Mike Zunino's struggles were getting to be too much for Mariners brass to handle. The former Diamondbacks catcher will hold down the backup spot until Zunino proves he's ready to handle the show once again. Expect Carlos Ruiz to get most of the starts at catcher over Gosewisch.

Gosewisch was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old was unlikely to beat out Mike Zunino or Carlos Ruiz for a roster spot from the get-go, but his .473 OPS during Cactus League play ultimately sealed his fate. Gosewisch will likely spend 2017 as an organizational depth piece.

Gosewisch was claimed off waiver by the Mariners on Thursday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old has struggled across the parts of four major league seasons, accumulating a .199/.237/.286 line in 392 at-bats. He will merely serve as an organizational depth piece if he cracks the big league roster.

Gosewisch and the Braves agreed to a one-year deal on Wednesday and avoided arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
He was claimed off waivers by the Braves last week, so they were obviously committed to coming to terms with him for the 2017 season. Look for him to jockey with Anthony Recker in spring training for the backup catching duties behind Tyler Flowers.

Gosewisch was claimed off waivers by the Braves on Friday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old split time between the majors and minors last season, and although he saw little success with the Diamondbacks, he mashed with their Triple-A affiliate, amassing a .952 OPS in 58 games. Tyler Flowers still seems to be the top backstop in Atlanta, but Gosewisch's power and historically good contact rate could help him garner a backup role over Anthony Recker.

Gosewisch went 2-for-5 with a triple and a home run, his second of the year, in Thursday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The backup catcher hit his first career triple off Noah Syndergaard in the fifth inning, and followed that up with his third career homer to lead off the sixth against Jonathon Niese. Gosewisch is slashing .182/.213/.364 through 44 at-bats, but his days are limited as Chris Herrmann (hamstring) is progressing nicely through his rehab program.

Gosewisch went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old catcher hit just the third home run of his career Wednesday, and first this season. Gosewisch has played in five games since being called up July 1, but notched an RBI or extra-base hit through his first 15 at-bats until his meaningless homer in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 10-4 loss. With backup catcher Chris Herrmann (hamstring) hitting the 15-day DL, Gosewisch will stick around with the big league club for now, but he holds minimal fantasy value outside of being a value play when he earns a spot start.

Gosewisch was called up from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gosewisch was promoted to the big league team in a corresponding move as Rickie Weeks was placed on the Bereavement List on Thursday.The 32-year-old catcher was hitting .342/.399/.553 with nine home runs and 26 RBI for Reno in 58 games this season. Gosewisch could make his first appearance at the major league level this season in the next couple days while serving as the third catcher on the Diamondbacks depth chart behind Welington Castillo and Chris Herrmann.

Gosewisch was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gewis had a putrid spring at the plate, batting below the Mendoza line, so the Diamondbacks will go with Chris Herrmann as their backup catcher to start the season. That being said, Gosewisch could find his way back to Arizona if he hits better in the minors.
