The Dodgers reassigned Rosscup (finger) to the minors after claiming him off waivers from the Rockies on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles opened up a spot on the 40-man roster for Rosscup by designating Edward Paredes for assignment. Rosscup hasn't pitched in the majors this season after developing warts on the index finger of his pitching hand, which prevented him from throwing his full arsenal. The lefty seems to be over the issue, however, as he made seven minor-league rehab appearances for the Rockies prior to being waived by the organization. He's now expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City without an injury designation.

Rosscup (finger) was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Wednesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosscup was recently designated for assignment by the Rockies. The reliever has yet to pitch in a big-league game this season due to a finger injury, though he's appeared in seven games at the Triple-A level while on a rehabilitation assignment. Rosscup is out of minor-league options, so he will need to join the Dodgers in the near future once he's back to full health. In a corresponding move, Edward Paredes was designated for assignment.

Rosscup (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosscup is set to begin his rehab assignment after missing the first portion of the season due to a battle with a wart on his throwing hand. He'll likely need a handful of rehab appearances before officially being activated from the 60-day disabled list.

Rosscup (finger) can throw a fastball without pain but still is unable to throw a slider, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosscup has been out all season after an apparent blister on his left middle finger turned out to be a wart that required surgical removal. The slider is the lefty's bread and butter, so he likely won't be able to progress into more formal pitching workouts until he's able to get the feel for that pitch back. He's likely at least couple of weeks away from a full return.

Rosscup (finger) was moved to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moving Rosscup to the 60-day DL made room for Daniel Castro on the 40-man roster. Rosscup opened the season on the disabled list and has been dealing with warts on his left middle finger. At this point in time it's unclear when he'll be ready to return to action.

Rosscup is dealing with warts on his left middle finger and may need them surgically removed, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has received injections to remedy the pain, but it apparently hasn't been working thus far. It's unclear how long surgically removing the warts would sideline him. Rosscup has been out since the end of spring training.

Rosscup (finger) was placed on the 10-day DL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

This was seen as a given with Rosscup, as he had been limited toward the end of camp. It's unclear how long he will be sidelined with the left middle finger issue, but he will occupy a low-leverage bullpen role once healthy.

Rosscup is dealing with a left middle finger issue and will likely open the season on the disabled list, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Specifics regarding the injury remain vague at this point, but there should be an update once the team provides more clarity on the situation. Rosscup was looking to lock down a spot in the Rockies' Opening Day bullpen out of camp, but now it appears that Antonio Senzatela will fill the team's final bullpen spot, at least until Rosscup is healthy.

Rosscup, who is out of options, could crack the Opening Day roster as a lefty specialist, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This concept might sound strange given that Colorado already has three other southpaws locked into bullpen roles for 2018 -- long reliever Chris Rusin and setup men Mike Dunn and Jake McGee. However, those three have all proven to be competent against right-handed batters. Rosscup was dominant against lefties last season (.000 BAA, eight strikeouts out of 15 batters faced), but righties batted .563 off of him. Things have been relatively the same this spring. The injury to Carlos Estevez (oblique) could give Rosscup a roster spot to open the season, but his status as a LOOGY largely limits his fantasy value overall.

Rosscup finished the regular season with a 5.14 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in seven innings with the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw held his own in the month of September, making six scoreless appearances while striking out five batters in that span. The 29-year-old has good strikeout numbers, but with fellow lefties Jake McGee and Mike Dunn ahead of him in the bullpen pecking order, Rosscup seems to be little more than a LOOGY heading into 2018.
