Frias was released by the Indians on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Frias spent all of the 2017 season with Triple-A Columbus, posting a brutal 8.05 ERA and 21:22 K:BB across 38 innings of work. He'll look to catch on elsewhere as organizational pitching depth.

Frias signed a minor-league contract with the Indians on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Frias is back with the Indians after spending all of last season with the team's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus. The 28-year-old made 30 appearances for Columbus in 2017, posting an unsightly 8.05 ERA and 21:22 K:BB across 38 innings. He'll report to minor-league camp and should serve as organizational bullpen depth for the Indians in 2018.

Frias (finger) was activated from the 7-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Frias is back with Triple-A Columbus after a brief stay on the shelf due to a blister. The 27-year-old, who owns a 7.79 ERA through 34.2 innings with Columbus this season, will return to serving as organizational pitching depth now that he's healthy.

Frias was place on the DL by Triple-A Columbus after sustaining a blister over the weekend, Tribe Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frias has had a rough year, including going unclaimed after being DFA's in May. He's appeared in 33 MLB games (all with the Dodgers), but it appears his chances at the big-leagues have all but expired at age 27.

Frias cleared through waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Frias was designated for assignment Tuesday in order to open up a 40-man roster spot for Bradley Zimmer. No other clubs showed interest in the hurler, so he'll rejoin the Triple-A squad.

Frias was designated for assignment on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Indians made five total roster moves and needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Bradley Zimmer, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A. Frias has a 9.00 ERA in 17 innings at Triple-A and should pass through waivers.

Frias was optioned to a> to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Frias put together a solid spring and came close to making the big-league roster. He'll likely see some action with the Indians when the need for bullpen help arises.

Frias could make the club as an eighth reliever if starter Carlos Carrasco opens the season on the disabled list, Ross D. Franklin of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jays acquired the right-hander from the Dodgers in an offseason trade, but it's surprising that Frias has made it to the finish line of big-league camp. After two unnoticeable seasons (2014-15) on the west coast, the 27-year-old was hurt in the latter half of 2016 before the Dodgers dumped him. Cleveland may choose to enter Opening Day with an overloaded bullpen as they won't need a fifth starter until mid-April. Even if that's the case and Frias makes the team, he carries little to no fantasy value unless he can work his way into a bigger role.

Frias is one of 20 pitcher in camp vying for the lone bullpen spot remaining on the team's 25-man roster, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frias may be the underdog in the competition, but he brings an appealing ability to fill a long-relief role while being able to handle the occasional spot start when needed. Although the numbers may be underwhelming, 15 of Frias' 33 MLB outings have come as a starter, so he is capable of playing the part when the Indians are in a bind. He'll need an extraordinary spring to make the Opening Day roster, but even if the Frias manages to do so, the right-hander doesn't bring fantasy appeal in most formats.

Frias was traded from the Dodgers to the Indians on Monday in exchange for cash.
EDGE Analysis
The righty was designated for assignment by the Dodgers last week, so this trade isn't too much of a surprise. Over parts of the last three seasons, Frias logged a 4.50 ERA in 114 innings with the big league club, although he also split time in the minors. After an injury forced him to miss the second half of 2016, he will look to bounce back and compete for a bullpen spot in 2017.
