Stewart will start Tuesday against Oakland, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports. Stewart last appeared on March 14 against Kansas City where he threw one scoreless frame. He recorded three strikeouts and allowed one hit and one walk in the outing.

Stewart signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. The deal doesn't include an invite to big-league spring training, as Stewart mostly languished at Triple-A Gwinnett last season, posting a 4.58 ERA and just 59 strikeouts over 106 innings. Now 28 years old, the former top prospect for the Blue Jays now looks to be nothing more than an organization depth arm.

Braves acquired RHP Zach Stewart from the White Sox for cash considerations. Stewart compiled a 4.28 ERA and 122/37 K/BB ratio over 167 1/3 innings last season with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate. The 27-year-old has a 6.82 ERA in 14 starts and 19 relief appearances in the majors. With the Braves' rotation suddenly looking questionable, the 27-year-old will provide some depth.

White Sox sent RHP Zach Stewart outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Stewart was just claimed off waivers from the Pirates last week, but the move clears him from the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old right-hander has a 6.82 ERA over his first 103 innings in the big leagues and is likely to begin 2013 in the minors.

White Sox claimed RHP Zach Stewart off waivers from the Pirates. Stewart was designated for assignment by the Bucs last week and is now back with team he pitched for during the first few months of 2012. He has a disappointing 6.82 ERA over 103 career major league innings and won't be guaranteed a major league roster spot for the opening of the 2013 season.

Pirates designated RHP Zach Stewart for assignment. Stewart, who was acquired from the Red Sox in the offseason, is no longer considered a prospect. He has an underwhelming 6.82 ERA over his first 103 innings in the majors, but could draw some interest on waivers. The Pirates officially re-signed Jeff Karstens to a one-year deal in a corresponding move.

Pirates acquired RHP Zach Stewart from the Red Sox for a player to be named later. Stewart was just designated for assignment by the Red Sox last week. The 26-year-old right-hander was once considered a pretty solid prospect, but he has an ugly 6.82 ERA over his first 103 innings in the big leagues. He should compete for a roster spot during spring training.

Red Sox designated RHP Zach Stewart for assignment. Stewart was once a pretty decent prospect, but he's failed miserably in his chances at the big league level, posting a 6.82 ERA over 103 frames. He's still just 26, though, so someone will take a shot on him.

Zach Stewart allowed five earned runs in 2 2/3 innings Sunday in Boston's loss to the Orioles. Stewart was overmatched, yielding seven hits -- including two home runs -- while tallying just one strikeout. He'll finish 2012 with a brutal 8.58 ERA and 1.74 WHIP.

Zach Stewart will start next Sunday against Baltimore.
