Brogdon

The 31-year-old righty was designated for assignment on Wednesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Guardians.

Brogdon loses his spot in Cleveland’s bullpen with Shawn Armstrong returning from the injured list for Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox. The 31-year-old has posted a serviceable 5.05 ERA across 16 innings of work for the Guardians this season.

He’ll replace Franco Aleman in the Guardians’ bullpen. Brogdon, 31, made 15 appearances with the Guardians earlier in the season, posting a 5.28 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 14/3 K/BB ratio across 15 1/3 innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

The 31-year-old hurler was designated for assignment last weekend but he passed through waivers unclaimed and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Guardians and should get another opportunity with the big league club at some point this season.

With his velocity down a bit from last year, Brogdon had given up five homers in 15 1/3 innings, leaving him with a 5.28 ERA. Still, since he’s making only $900,000 on his deal with the Guardians, someone might pick him up off waivers.

It’s worth $900,000, according to Zack Meisel. With his velocity having bounced back to where it was a few years ago, Brogdon had a solid 49/18 K/BB in 47 innings for the Angels last season. Since he gave up 11 homers, it only amounted to a 5.55 ERA, but the Guardians will almost surely be able to get more out of him in middle relief. He’s out of options, so he should have a roster spot coming out of spring training, and if he has a strong season, the Guardians will also be able to keep him through arbitration in 2027.

Brogdon heads to the open market after posting a pedestrian 5.55 ERA across 47 innings over 43 appearances this past season for Los Angeles. The 30-year-old righty has made 186 appearances in the big leagues since 2020. He should be able to latch on somewhere this offseason as organizational relief depth.

Brogdon, 30, was re-signed to a minor league contract in late August after he elected free agency following an outright assignment to Triple-A. He has already made 37 appearances with the Angels this season, posting a 5.30 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and a 33/16 K/BB ratio over 37 1/3 innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

The 30-year-old hurler elected free agency last week rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake, but after exploring the open market he decided that a return to the Angels made the most sense for him. He has registered a 5.30 ERA over 37 1/3 innings in 37 appearances with the Halos this season.

Brogdon went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment by the Angels over the weekend. The 30-year-old righty struggled to an inflated 5.30 ERA across 37 1/3 innings (37 appearances) this season in his Angels debut. He’ll remain with the club as emergency organizational relief depth.
