Woods was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Mets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was sent outright to Triple-A Syracuse after clearing waivers in January, but did get a chance to pitch in camp for the Mets as an invite. The former Atlanta prospect will provide pitching depth at the upper levels of the minors in 2023.

The Mets outrighted Woods to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Scooped up off waivers from Atlanta on Nov. 18, Woods stuck on the Mets' 40-man roster for just over five weeks before he was designated for assignment shortly before the new year. He was able to pass through waivers this time around, so he'll stick around in the Mets organization and likely open the upcoming season at Syracuse. The 24-year-old reliever posted a 5.19 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 17.1 innings at Triple-A Gwinnett last season.

Woods was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods made his big-league debut last season for Atlanta, throwing a pair of scoreless innings. He was designated for assignment in mid-November before being claimed by the Mets but will now be available for any team to claim again. It's not often that a 23-year-old with big-league experience is available for free, though Woods' 6.04 ERA in 25.1 innings in the minors last year may dissuade potential suitors.

Woods was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods will return to Triple-A after he was called up Friday, failing to appear in a game before his return to the minors. The 23-year-old will remain a candidate to get called up down the stretch is Atlanta needs a bullpen arm. Bryce Elder was recalled from Gwinnett on Monday to replace Woods on the active roster.

Woods was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Woods spent a brief period of time in the majors earlier this season, throwing two scoreless innings out of the bullpen. The 23-year-old righty will now be called on to serve as depth for Atlanta's bullpen as Kirby Yates (elbow) hits the 15-day injured list.

Woods (ankle) was reinstated from Triple-A Gwinnett's 7-day injured list Saturday and struck out one over a scoreless inning later that day.
EDGE Analysis
Woods had been on Gwinnett's IL since May 17 before he was cleared to rejoin the affiliate after making three relief appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 23-year-old right-hander made his MLB debut earlier this season and could re-emerge as a relief option for Atlanta in August or September now that he's healthy again at Triple-A.

Triple-A Gwinnett placed Woods (ankle) on its 7-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was initially considered day-to-day after a sore left ankle forced him out early during a May 10 relief appearance for Gwinnett, but after further evaluation, the club elected to shut him down for a week. The 23-year-old is without a clear timetable to return to game action.

Woods is considered day-to-day after leaving his outing Friday for Triple-A Gwinnett with left ankle discomfort, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods made his major-league debut in late April, throwing two scoreless innings of relief. He's spent the bulk of the year splitting time between the two highest levels of the minors, where he's allowed six runs in 7.2 innings but has struck out 14 batters. Assuming his injury remains a minor one, he'll have the chance to push for another big-league call-up soon.
