Parker (1-0) gave up one hit and struck out one in one inning of relief to earn the win Monday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Parker entered the game in the bottom of the seventh inning, stranding a leadoff single and stolen base by Jorge Polanco. The win was the first of the year for the veteran Parker, who has been stellar out of the bullpen since joining Cleveland earlier this month. The 36-year-old owns a 2.45 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 9:0 K:BB over his first 7.1 innings.

Parker pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout and earned a hold in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Parker relieved starter Cal Quantrill and protected a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning. The 36-year-old reliever has allowed two runs on eight hits and struck out five through six innings spanning his first seven appearances of the season. Parker will likely continue to see low-leverage usage, as James Karinchak and Emmanuel Clase have gotten the lion's share of the late-inning work.

Parker's contract was selected by Cleveland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Parker began the 2021 campaign with Triple-A Columbus and tossed 11 scoreless innings across 12 relief appearances this year. He'll now join the major-league bullpen after right-hander Eli Morgan was sent down as part of a corresponding move.

Parker will not open the season on Cleveland's active roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker has 34 career saves to his name and is coming off a season in which he finished with a 2.81 ERA and a 36.2 percent strikeout rate, so he seemed like an obvious choice for a bullpen spot with at least an outside chance to handle high-leverage innings. He didn't make a good case for himself this spring, however, allowing 12 runs (seven earned) in 6.1 innings, striking out seven but also walking seven. As a non-roster invitee, that wasn't nearly enough to earn him a roster spot. It's unclear if he'll head to the minors or look to latch on elsewhere.

Parker signed a contract with the Indians on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The financial terms of Parker's deal have not yet been disclosed, but according to Heyman, he could earn up to $2.5 million with incentives. The right-hander posted a 2.81 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 25:9 K:BB across 16 innings for the Phillies a season ago and will have an opportunity to earn a spot in Cleveland's bullpen during camp.

Parker elected free agency Friday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker was one of very few reliable options in a historically bad Phillies bullpen last season, posting a 2.81 ERA in 16 innings. His strikeout rate jumped more than 10 points to a career-best 36.2 percent, though that came with a jump in walk rate to 13.0 percent. It's clear he still has something to offer teams even at age 35, so there should be a fair amount of interest in the veteran righty and his career 3.52 ERA.

Parker struck out three over two perfect innings as the opener in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He didn't factor into the decision, an eventual 5-3 loss, but Parker gave the Phillies every opportunity to seize an early lead. The veteran right-hander has been one of the few bright spots in the team's bullpen this season, going 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 12.2 innings.

Parker will start Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker hasn't lasted more than two innings in any of his relief appearances this season, but he'll make his first start of the season in Friday's matinee. While the right-hander has been largely effective this season, it's unclear how many pitches he'll be able to throw in his start.

Parker (2-0) walked one in a scoreless 11th inning to get the win over the Braves on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Parker entered the game in the 11th and quickly found himself in a jam with two men on and nobody out after walking Ender Inciarte to lead off the inning. He got Austin Riley to fly out before J.T. Realmuto caught Inciarte trying to steal second. Parker escaped after Adeiny Hechavarria fouled out to third to end the scoring chance. Parker has been solid for the Phillies this year, as he has yet to allow an earned run in 7.1 innings, and he should continue to get plenty of high-leverage opportunities.

Parker (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out three to earn the win Tuesday versus the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Parker relieved starter Zach Eflin during the fifth inning with the Phillies down by two runs. In the sixth, the offense exploded for seven runs, and Parker was in for the win. The 35-year-old righty hasn't allowed a run across 4.1 innings this season, while racking up seven strikeouts in his three appearances.
