Nava remains in the mix for a bench job with the Phillies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com report.

EDGE Analysis

Nava's chances of earning a roster spot improved when the Phillies released Chris Coghlan on Tuesday. He has hit .361 with a double, a triple and a .910 OPS this spring. The veteran is competing with Brock Stassi and Jesmuel Valentin for two remaining bench jobs.

Nava went 4-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in the Phillies 6-5 win over the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nava, who signed a minor league deal this winter, is competing with Chris Coghlan, Cameron Perkins and Brock Stassi for a bench job with the Phillies. He's made a solid impression with 10 hits in 21 at-bats this spring.

The Phillies have signed Nava to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nava can earn $1.35 million if he makes it to the majors in 2017. He has a decent shot of earning a bench spot with the Phillies as they currently lack veteran depth in the outfield and behind Tommy Joseph at first base. Nava hit .223/.297/.292 with a home run in 130 at-bats between the Angels and Royals last season.

Nava became a free agent after declining his outright assignment to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nava batted just .223 between brief stints with the Angels and Royals this season, so it comes as no surprise that the Royals brass didn't deem him worthy of a 40-man roster spot. The 33-year-old does have nice defensive versatility in the outfield, but his age and his propensity to strike out will make it tough for him to garner consideration at the major league level.

Nava was called up by the Royals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nava has steadily regressed at the plate since his strong 2013 campaign with Boston, culminating in a .235/.309/.303 showing with the Angels this season prior to his release. He can switch hit but is limited defensively and the at-bats figure to be few and far between over the remaining weeks.

Nava was placed on the Temporarily Inactive List on Saturday, MLB.com's Jeffrey Flanagan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nava and his wife are expecting their child this weekend, so the Royals deactivated him in order to let him spend time with his family. He will likely rejoin the Royals at some point next week.

Nava was acquired by the Royals on Monday and assigned to Triple-A Omaha, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nava quickly found a new home after being designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday. The switch-hitting outfielder has appeared in 45 major league games this season, batting .235 with one home run and 13 RBI. He likely serves as depth for a crowded Kansas City outfield, but could provide an interesting call-up when they enter the home stretch of the season.

Nava was designated for assignment Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made in order to make room on the 40-man roster for Shane Robinson, who came off the DL Saturday. Nava will now be available to be picked up by another big league club during his waiver period, but if that doesn't happen, he'll likely be assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Nava is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Royals, the Los Angeles Times' Pedro Moura reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Angels are so desperate for production from their left field spot that utility infielder Gregorio Petit will get the nod in left Wednesday. Nava has a .611 OPS on the season and should be unowned in the vast majority of formats.

Nava is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest with Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Nava is sitting his third game out in the Angels' last six as Todd Cunningham gets the start in left and bats ninth. Nava came into July barely above the mendoza line but after going 8-for-32 (.250) this month, he's raised his average (.231) and OBP (.305) to slightly healthier numbers.
