Buchanan agreed to a minor-league deal with the Angels on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2017, when he registered an 8.16 ERA across 14.1 innings with the Reds. Buchanan has never been much of a strikeout pitcher and figures to serve as organizational depth for Los Angeles. He'll begin his stint with the club at the Triple-A level.

Buchanan was sent to minor-league camp Sunday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan was dismissed from major-league camp after posting a 3.86 ERA with a strikeout over 2.1 frames. He hasn't appeared in the majors since the 2017 season with Cincinnati, and he's expected to begin his 2019 campaign with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Buchanan signed a minor-league contract with the A's that includes an invitation to spring training, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan spent the entire 2018 campaign with Triple-A Reno, struggling to a 5.17 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 86:47 K:BB across 156.2 innings. Look for him to serve as organizational pitching depth for the A's.

The Diamondbacks reassigned Buchanan to their minor-league camp Friday, Owen Perkins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan made five appearances in the big leagues in 2017 for the pitching-bereft Reds, but the 8.16 ERA and 2.16 WHIP he posted over 14.1 innings made it highly unlikely that he would break camp with the Diamondbacks regardless of how well he pitched in spring training. The 28-year-old right-hander is expected to begin the upcoming campaign at Triple-A Reno and could swing between starting and long-relief duties.

Buchanan signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old righty spent time with the Reds, Cubs and finished 2017 with the Diamondbacks. Buchanan has a 4.73 ERA and just 33 strikeouts in 64.2 MLB innings. He will be assigned to Triple-A Reno, where he logged a 4.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38 strikeouts in 61.1 innings (11 starts) last season.

Buchanan, who signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on July 6, has a 3.72 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 9.2 innings in two starts with Triple-A Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan is pitching with his fourth different team and third different organization of the season, following previous stints with the Cubs and Reds. It appears the well-traveled right-hander will function as starting depth at Triple-A unless injuries thin the ranks at the big-league level, but even in that scenario, Buchanan likely wouldn't be first in line for a promotion. As a non-40-man-roster player, Buchanan would probably find himself behind at least Randall Delgado and Braden Shipley in the pecking order.

Buchanan cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan struggled out of the Reds' bullpen before being cut loose, compiling an ugly 8.16 ERA, 2.16 WHIP and 4:7 K:BB ratio through 14.1 innings. He'll likely be able to catch on elsewhere given his previous big-league experience.

Buchanan was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan was DFA'd for the second time in a month after struggling out of the Reds' bullpen; he allowed 13 runs on 24 hits with a 4:7 K:BB through 14.1 innings before being cut loose. He'll likely report back to Louisville if the Reds are able to pass him through waivers untouched.

Buchanan was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Buchanan's demotion clears a spot on the active roster for third catcher Stuart Turner (hamstring), who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move. The right-hander was roughed up in five relief appearances with the big club, surrendering 13 runs on 24 hits and seven walks over 14.1 innings.

Buchanan may be summoned to the big leagues to make a spot start in place of Amir Garrett (hip), Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Thursday's rainout, it would seem like the turn in question would come around on Monday against the Blue Jays, although more information on this front should come forth over the weekend. Asher Wojciechowski is another candidate to fill the void, although Buchanan boasts more past success as a member of a big-league pitching staff.
