Rienzo signed a minor league deal with the Padres on Tuesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

He hasn't had much success at the major league level (5.90 career ERA), but the right-hander did manage to post a strong 2.51 ERA and 9.3 K/9 with the Marlins Triple-A affiliate last season. Rienzo has a decent chance of landing a spot on the major league roster at some point during the 2017 season due to the lefty-heavy nature of the Padres bullpen, although he likely won't be trusted in a fantasy-relevant role given his past numbers.

Rienzo was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

While he was designated for assignment a week ago, Rienzo still receives an invite to spring training this year. He had a 3.01 ERA at Triple-A last year, working primarily as a starter, but struggled in a bullpen role for Miami, posting a 5.95 ERA in 19.2 innings. His destiny in the big leagues will need to be as a reliever or a swing man, so even if he makes the roster out of camp or receives a callup early in 2016, his fantasy value will be quite limited.

Rienzo was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rienzo posted decent numbers at Triple-A last season, but can't seem to find his footing at the major league level, finishing 2015 with a 5.95 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 19.2 innings with the Marlins. With the team officially adding Edwin Jackson to bullpen, Rienzo appears to be the odd man out, and would be slated to begin the season in the minors if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Rienzo was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans following Friday's game against the Rockies, Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports. With Mat Latos set to return from the disabled list Saturday, Brad Hand was set to join the bullpen as a long man, leaving the Marlins with no need to continue carrying Rienzo. The 26-year-old Brazilian made three relief appearances during his stint with the big club, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over seven innings.

Rienzo was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports. The Marlins placed two starting pitchers on the DL Friday, so Rienzo may only be up with Miami for a few days before a guy like Justin Nicolino gets called up to take a rotation spot.

Rienzo was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday. Rienzo was traded to the Marlins in the offseason after starting 28 games with the White Sox in 2014, but will begin the 2015 campaign at Triple-A due to the Marlins' depth in the rotation. With Jose Fernandez expected to return at some point this season as well, Rienzo appears a ways down the pecking order, and an appearance in the majors would likely come from the bullpen.

Rienzo was traded to the Marlins on Thursday in exchange for Dan Jennings. Rienzo appeared in 28 games and started 21 for the White Sox over the last two seasons, but he was no longer needed in the starting rotation, so Chicago decided to swap him for a proven reliever. Rienzo will likely open next season in either the Marlins' bullpen, or in the rotation for the team's Triple-A affiliate in New Orleans.

Rienzo was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte following Thursday night's game, MLB.com reports. Rienzo appeared four times since his most recent call-up, but allowed two or more earned runs in all but one of those appearances. With Zach Putnam (shoulder) slated for a Friday activation, the White Sox needed to free up a roster spot, and the struggling reliever was deemed expendable.

White Sox recalled RHP Andre Rienzo from Triple-A Charlotte. Rienzo owns an ugly 5.87 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 24 appearances with the White Sox this season. He figures to pitch in long relief.
