Edwards

The 31-year-old hurler only appeared in nine games at the big league level for the Indians in 2019, registering a 2.25 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 5/6 K/BB ratio across eight innings. With a strong showing in the spring, Edwards will have an outside shot at cracking the club’s Opening Day bullpen.

Edwards was designated for assignment on Sunday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He has pitched well at times over the last few seasons, but control remains a big issue for the 31-year-old reliever.

The 31-year-old hurler was sent out to free up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster. He appeared in nine games for the Indians this season, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 5/6 K/BB ratio over eight innings.

Edwards holds a 2.25 ERA in eight innings with the Tribe this season, although it’s come with a 5/6 K/BB ratio.

He gets the boot to make room for Saturday’s starter Adam Plutko. Edwards has pitched in nine games out of the Indians’ bullpen this year, registering a 2.25 ERA with five strikeouts in eight innings of work. The 31-year-old will get more chances as the season unfolds.

Edwards will return to the Cleveland bullpen ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the Twins. He has a 2.45 ERA in eight appearances at the MLB level this season, though the peripherals aren’t nearly as friendly.

The move clears a spot for Tuesday’s starting pitcher, Jefry Rodriguez. Edwards owns a 2.45 ERA over eight appearances with the Indians this season, despite allowing five hits and six walks in 7 1/3 innings.

Edwards holds a 1.80 ERA over five innings with the Tribe this season, although it’s come with a 3/5 K/BB ratio. He’ll be utilized in middle relief.

Edwards served as the Indians’ 26th man during Saturday’s doubleheader against the Braves. He didn’t make an appearance.

Edwards holds a 1.80 ERA this season, but he has options and the Indians need fresh arms. He’ll be back soon.
