Ladendorf was sent back to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladendorf was added to the active roster for the final series of the regular season as part of a group of players filling in for others who had landed on the COVID-19 injured list, so he could be removed from the 40-man roster without being designated for assignment. He went 0-for-1 in his lone appearance, his first big-league action since 2016.

Ladendorf's contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladendorf joined the Cubs on a minor-league deal in May, and he slashed .241/.297/.424 with eight homers, 29 runs, 29 RBI and a stolen base across 59 appearances in Iowa. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2016 but will be available in a depth role after David Bote (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday.

The Cubs purchased Ladendorf's contract from the High Point Rockers of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball on Monday and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa, Steve Shutt of the Rockers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladendorf, who had been serving as a player-coach for the Rockers, will make his return to affiliated ball for the first time since September 2019, when he had been playing for the Rays' Triple-A affiliate in Durham before getting released. The 33-year-old infield has previously seen big-league action with Oakland in 2015 and 2016, producing a .123 average over 68 career plate appearances.

The Rays released Ladendorf earlier this month, allowing him to sign with the High Point Rockers of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, Greer Smith of the High Point Enterprise reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladendorf hasn't seen any action at the big-league level since 2016, when he was a member of the Athletics organization. After latching on with the Rays on a minor-league pact in July, Ladendorf appeared in nine games for Triple-A Durham, going 2-for-27 with 12 strikeouts.

Ladendorf signed a minor-league contract with the Rays on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladendorf hasn't appeared in the majors since 2016, when he hit .083 in 45 games (50 plate appearances) with the Athletics. He'll serve as organizational depth.

Ladendorf agreed to a minor league deal with the White Sox on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladendorf spent the 2016 season with the Athletics, but didn't contribute much at Triple-A Nashville or with the big club. Over 44 games with Oakland, he went just 4-for-48 (.083) and struck out 13 times. At 29 years old, he'll likely serve as organizational depth for the White Sox during the 2017 campaign.

Ladendorf was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland continues its offseason roster management, clearing 40-man roster space. Ladendorf has had some cups of coffee with the A's the last two years, but they haven't amounted to much fantasy production. Consider the 28-year-old a mere organizational depth piece.

Ladendorf was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with a sprained left wrist.

EDGE Analysis

He was serving as a bench bat since being recalled earlier this month, so his fantasy stock was never high to begin with. As a corresponding move, Chad Pinder was recalled from Triple-A to see some time at shortstop when Marcus Semien ends up on the paternity list later this week.

Ladendorf was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's somewhat of a surprising move as the A's have plenty of outfield depth and Ladendorf has collected only three hits in his last 29 at-bats for Triple-A Nashville. Either way, the 28-year-old will return to the A's clubhouse where he'll resume a .083/.108/.083 line through 36 major league at-bats this season.

Ladendorf was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With the recalls of Daniel Coulombe and Dillon Overton on Tuesday, the A's needed to make room on the roster and Ladendorf got the short end of the stick. Ladendorf didn't build much of a case to stick around in the majors since his most recent promotion on July 1, collecting only one hit over 11 at-bats. The 28-year-old will head back to the Athletics' Triple-A affiliate where he's compiled a .273/.308/.354 slash line over 106 plate appearances.
