Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell spent just over a week with the major-league club and went 3-for-11 with a run, a walk and a strikeout in four games. He'll return to the minors after Jake Fraley (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Campbell was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old infielder was hitting .353/.389/.412 in 19 plate appearances at Triple-A. Four Mariners relievers were placed on the COVID-19 injured list in the same list of moves, so Campbell will give the team an extra hitter off the bench in the short term.

Campbell was added to Oakland's 60-man roster pool Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old joined the A's in January 2019 and had a solid season at Triple-A with a .276/.382/.492 slash line and 16 home runs in 94 games. Campbell re-signed as a non-roster invitee in November and will have an outside chance of earning a spot on the 30-man roster to open the season.

Campbell signed a minor-league contract with Oakland, which includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell hasn't appeared in the big league since the 2016 season with the Mets, though he struggled to a .173 average with nine RBI and a stolen base over 40 contests. He'll have a chance to win a spot on Oakland's 25-man roster after receiving an invite to big-league camp.

Campbell signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics which includes an invitation to spring training, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell spent the entire 2018 season with Triple-A New Orleans, slashing .313/.420/.445 with six homers and eight stolen bases in 95 games. The 31-year-old owns a career .221/.312/.311 triple-slash across parts of three major-league seasons and figures to serve as organizational depth.

Campbell agreed to a minor-league deal with Miami on Tuesday, Jacob Resnick of Metsmerized Online reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell spent the past season overseas playing with the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese Central League following a few years in the Mets organization. From 2014-2016, he appeared in 196 major-league games, but struggled mightily at the plate in recent seasons, hitting just .173 with one home run and nine RBI during 40 contests in 2016. Although the 30-year-old will likely begin the season at the Triple-A level, he will provide a little extra depth for the Marlins and could earn some big-league at-bats this summer.

Campbell agreed to a contract earlier this month with the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese Central League, ESPN.com's Adam Rubin reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being outrighted off the Mets' 40-man roster on Nov. 2, Campbell likely would have struggled to land anything more than a minor-league deal in free agency had he elected to stay stateside, so he'll head to Japan for what's presumably a greater payday. Campbell demonstrated some nice positional versatility during parts of three seasons with the Mets, but his career .221/.312/.311 batting line over 505 plate appearances prevented him from ever becoming a major contributor at the big-league level.

Campbell was outrighted off the 40-man roster Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.
EDGE Analysis
He hit .173 with one home run in 75 at-bats with the Mets, and there were simply better utility infield options in the organization that he no longer warranted a 40-man roster spot. Look for him to continue to serve as organizational corner infield depth.

Campbell will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell is capable of playing both corner infield spots and can provide some further depth in the corner outfield, but he's unlikely to see many regular starts for the Mets in September. In 74 plate appearances this season, Campbell has slashed a meager .159/.270/.222.

Campbell will be added to the Mets' roster as the 26th man for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas a week ago, but he'll make a brief return to the big league club Tuesday. The 29-year-old struggled at the plate in 30 games with the Mets earlier in the season, batting just .159 with 23 strikeouts in 63 at-bats.
