Neal was traded from the Reds to the Dodgers on Wednesday along with reliever Dylan Floro and international signing bonus pool space in exchange for minor-league pitchers James Marinan and Aneurys Zabala.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers will get Neal back from the Reds after previously trading him to Cincinnati in April, but he's probably the least desirable of the three commodities Los Angeles received in Wednesday's deal. The 29-year-old owns a 4.94 ERA over 31 career appearances in the big leagues and has been even worse across 49.1 innings at the Triple-A level in 2018, posting a 5.47 ERA and 1.36 WHIP while notching just 29 strikeouts.

The Dodgers traded Neal to the Reds on Tuesday, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal cleared waivers after the Dodgers designated him for assignment earlier this month, and now he joined the Reds organization in a trade for Ariel Hernandez. The 29-year-old is likely headed to Triple-A Louisville but could see the majors at some point with Cincinnati currently featuring the worst team-ERA (5.78) in MLB.

Neal cleared waivers Sunday and was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old made just one appearance with the Dodgers before being designated for assignment, tossing one inning and allowing a solo home run. Now that he's off the 40-man roster, he's unlikely to be at the top of the queue to return to the big leagues, and even if he does return, his career 4.94 ERA in 85.2 big-league innings doesn't make him much of a fantasy asset.

Neal was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal was with the big club for all of two days, as his contract was purchased ahead of Tuesday's contest after Monday's game went 15 innings. The 29-year-old made one appearance for Los Angeles, allowing a solo home run in an inning of work. He'll return to the minors to make room for the recently-acquired Alec Asher on the 40-man roster.

Neal had his contract purchased from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal will provide a fresh arm out of the Dodgers' bullpen after the team used all eight of their relievers during Monday's 15-inning affair. The 29-year-old is being stretched out as a starter in the minors, so he should be able to go multiple innings if needed. In order to clear room on the 40-man roster, Jesus Liranzo was designated for assignment.

Neal will start the Dodgers' Cactus League game Saturday against Kansas City, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal will be stretched out as a starter after appearing exclusively out of the bullpen in six games for Oakland last year. The 29-year-old righty owns a career 4.89 ERA and a 10.7 percent strikeout rate in 84.2 major-league innings, so he's unlikely to be more than organizational depth for the Dodgers this season.

Neal signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal split time between Triple-A Nashville and the Athletics each of the previous two seasons. While he posted a respectable 4.24 ERA across 70 major-league innings in 2016, he struggled to a 7.98 ERA across 14.2 innings with the big club in 2017 before being designated for assignment in August. The sinkerballer also owns a brutal 3.9 K/9 across 84.2 frames at the highest level. Look for Neal to serve as organizational pitching depth next year.

Neal has decided to part ways from the Athletics and head to free agency, Brandon Warne of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal made his way tot he majors for the second time in his career in 2017, but struggled at the highest level to the tune of a 7.98 ERA and 6.43 FIP over 14.2 frames. The 28-year-old will now attempt to latch on elsewhere and seems a likely candidate to open spring training with a big league club.

Neal cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment on Wednesday to make room for southpaw Sam Moll, who'd been acquired from the Rockies on that same day. Neal has endured a rocky 2017 in stints with both the Sounds and the big-league club, and he's appears destined to finish out the balance of the campaign in Nashville.

The Athletics designated Neal for assignment Wednesday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neal will be dropped from the 40-man roster to make room for lefty reliever Sam Moll, who was acquired from the Rockies earlier in the day. The 28-year-old turned in a 4.99 ERA and 4.3 K/9 rate over 17 appearances (12 starts) at Triple-A Nashville this season. Neal's lack of strikeout stuff and middling numbers in both the upper minors and big leagues the past three years will likely result in him passing through waivers unclaimed.
