Barrios (shoulder) was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as no surprise, as the fireballer is still in the midst of recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent last April. Barrios expects to be out for another month or so, but he could push for a major league bullpen spot if he can get back to his previous form.

Barrios (shoulder) said that he was "at least two months away from completing his rehab" back in mid-February, Brian Bergner of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although this timetable means that he likely won't be ready for the start of the regular season, the 25-year-old doesn't appear to have experienced any setbacks in his recovery process. Barrios will likely be sent down to minor league camp soon, where he'll continue ramping up his activity in preparation for his 2017 debut.

Barrios (shoulder) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Barrios became a free agent earlier this week after being outrighted to Triple-A, but he decided to rejoin the Brewers for another season. Barrios is still working his way back from rotator cuff surgery, but his contract includes an invitation to spring training, so he will get a chance to compete for a spot in the big league bullpen if healthy.

Barrios declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday, making him a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Barrios underwent rotator cuff surgery in April, which could harm his market value a bit. Despite this, he did perform well in a brief cup of coffee with the Brewers in 2015 (0 ER, 7 K in 6.2 innings pitched), so he could attract some interest if he can get back to 100 percent in a timely manner.

Barrios (shoulder) was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers need to clear some room on the 40-man roster to protect players from the Rule 5 Draft. Barrios will serve as organizational bullpen depth once he is fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery he underwent in April.

Barrios (shoulder) will undergo rotator cuff surgery Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old righty was placed on the 60-day disabled list Sunday due to a serious shoulder injury. After getting a second opinion from noted sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews, the decision was made to have Barrios undergo rotator cuff surgery. There is no timetable for his return at this point, but he'll likely miss at least the majority of the season.

Barrios will open the season on the 60-day DL, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrios had a scheduled visit with Dr. James Andrews in mid-March, and it appears that the second opinion he received was not necessarily favorable. No major surgery has been scheduled, but the right will have an extended absence on tap before being reevaluated.

Barrios (shoulder) is getting a second opinion on his shoulder from Dr. James Andrews and will not be ready for Opening Day, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been sidelined since Mar. 7 with the ailment, and it appears to be much worse than initially thought. Surgery is in the realm of possibility if the second opinion does raise more concern over the state of it, and it's becoming even more likely that he could start the season on the disabled list. Regardless, things should become clearer once Dr. Andrews examines the damage.

Barrios will not throw for at least 3-to-4 days due to a shoulder injury, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrios' pursuit of a spot in the Brewers' bullpen will be put on hold while he recovers from his shoulder injury. He is likely on the outside looking in at a roster spot at this point, however, so he will likely begin his season either in the minors or on the disabled list.
