Barrett agreed Tuesday with the Phillies on a minor-league contract, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett will likely get the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day bullpen whenever the lockout ends, but for the time being, the organization is viewing him as relief depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 34-year-old right-hander has endured a number of injures throughout his career, most recently missing a large chunk of the 2021 season while recovering from knee surgery. Barrett has previously made 95 appearances at the big-league level across parts of four seasons with Washington, submitting a 4.01 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

The Nationals activated Barrett (knee) from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Rochester and assigned him to Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, independent sports writer Byron Kerr reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett's start to the minor-league season was delayed while he recovered from right knee surgery, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Fredericksburg just over a week ago. During his four outings at Low-A, Barrett covered five innings and gave up three runs (two earned) while striking out 11. The 33-year-old right-hander, a veteran of 95 career big-league appearances, will likely move up to Rochester quickly if he continues to make bats miss at a high rate in Harrisburg.

Barrett (knee) has reported to Low-A Fredericksburg for a rehab assignment, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett hasn't yet made his 2021 debut as he continues to recover from right knee surgery that he underwent in mid-March. Although the 33-year-old could require some time to build up following his lengthy absence, his rehab assignment could be the final step in his recovery process.

Barrett (knee) was assigned to minor-league camp Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett hasn't pitched this spring due to a knee issue which wound up requiring surgery. It's not yet clear when he'll be back on the mound.

Barrett underwent right knee surgery this week and has returned to Nationals camp, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old rejoined Washington on a minor-league deal in November, and he had a knee issue crop up while throwing at the start of camp. Barrett already faced long odds to make the Opening Day roster as a non-roster invitee, and those odds will get even longer as he remains sidelined. It's unclear when the right-hander is expected to return to mound work.

Barrett (triceps) re-signed Thursday with the Nationals on a minor-league contract, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett's deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training. The 32-year-old once looked to be a promising bullpen piece for the Nationals while he rose through the system after being drafted in 2010, but multiple arm injuries kept him on the shelf for much of the last half of the past decade. He made two appearances out of the Washington bullpen during the 2020 campaign before being shut down in late September with a right triceps strain and later removed from the 40-man roster. The Nationals' decision to re-sign him at least suggests that Barrett is expected to be fully healthy for the spring.

Barrett (triceps) became a free agent Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett was outrighted to Triple-A Fresno on Friday but exercised his right to refuse the assignment and will head to the open market instead. He's unlikely to generate a ton of interest, as he's a 32-year-old who has thrown a total of four big-league innings over the least five seasons while dealing with multiple injuries, including a triceps strain that cut his 2020 campaign short early.

Barrett (triceps) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Fresno on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old finished the season on the injured list with a right triceps strain and has now been removed from the 40-man roster. Barrett made only two appearances and gave up two runs over 1.2 innings, and it's unclear when he's expected to return to full health.

Barrett was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right triceps strain Monday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barrett made a relief appearance Friday, and he experienced right triceps soreness during that outing. He'll be placed on the injured list as a result, and he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season with just under a week remaining. Right-hander Paolo Espino's contract was selected in a corresponding move.

Barrett experienced right triceps soreness during his appearance in Friday's game against the Marlins and could be placed on the 10-day injured list, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Martinez noted Monday that Barrett is feeling better, but if he fails to make more notable progress in the next day or two, a trip to the IL will grow likelier for the right-hander. Arm injuries are nothing new for Barrett, who missed the majority of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery and a fractured forearm.
