Familia elected free agency Friday after clearing waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Familia was designated for assignment by Boston on Tuesday and will choose to test free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Worcester. The right-hander has struggled over 48 relief appearances between the Phillies and Red Sox this year, posting a 6.09 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 44.1 innings.

Familia (2-3) was designated for assignment after being charged with the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. The right-hander gave up three runs (two earned) on one hit with three walks and zero strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old issued a walk to the first batter he faced in the 10th inning and quickly induced a double-play groundball, but he followed with two more walks (one intentional) before Gleyber Torres delivered a bases-loaded double. Familia was added to Boston's big-league roster in mid-August appeared in 10 games over the past month, but he's now been jettisoned from the 40-man roster after he allowed seven earned runs in 10.1 frames.

Familia (2-2) took the loss Monday against Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on one hit and a hit batsman over one-third of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Familia started the seventh inning with Boston holding a 3-2 lead and left after 10 pitches (four strikes) with the game tied and a runner on second base. Zack Kelly couldn't prevent the inherited runner from scoring and completed the team's 29th bullpen loss (fifth most in MLB). The 32-year-old Familia has a 5.82 ERA combined between the Phillies and Red Sox (4.82 for Boston), and he's pitching for a team whose chances of making the playoffs dropped to 0.9%, per FanGraphs. It seems the organization might benefit more from bringing up a minor leaguer over letting the veteran finish out the season.

Familia allowed a run on three hits while striking out one over one inning in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Familia made his Red Sox debut in a low-leverage spot. Boston was leading 8-2 entering the bottom of the ninth when Familia entered the contest.

Familia's contract was selected by the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Familia was released by the Phillies last Saturday, but he didn't have to wait long to get back to the big leagues. He signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox on Tuesday and will be a part of the big-league bullpen just four days later. Whether or not he'll be particularly useful to his new club is unclear, as he struggled to a 6.09 ERA during his time in Philadelphia.

Familia signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Joe McDonald of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia was released by the Phillies on Saturday, and it did not take him long to find a new home. Familia had a rough go of it over 38 appearances out of Philadelphia's bullpen, but if he can get back on track with Triple-A Worcester, he could get another shot in the big leagues before the campaign comes to a close.

Familia was released by the Phillies on Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander couldn't get going with Philadelphia at any point and the team designated him for assignment earlier in the week. No club was willing to take him off waivers given what he's making this season, but Familia has a decade of big-league experience and was a serviceable reliever as recently as last season, so another team may look to bring him in at the minimum.

Familia was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia signed a $6 million deal over the winter, but his Phillies tenure will come to an inglorious end after 34 poor innings. He carried a respectable 3.32 ERA through his first 24 appearances, but a brutal seven-week stretch in which he posted a 10.95 ERA means he'll leave the roster with a 6.09 ERA to his name. Familia never earned a save for the Phillies, so his departure is unlikely to alter the ninth-inning picture in Philadelphia.

Familia signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Phillies on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Familia has 125 career saves and could potentially enter the ninth-inning mix in Philadelphia, though he'll likely open the year below Corey Knebel on the depth chart. Familia hasn't been closer material over the past few seasons, but he did produce a respectable 3.94 ERA last season, with his 27.5 percent strikeout rate and 51.0 percent groundball rate offsetting a 10.3 percent walk rate.

Familia (6-3) took the loss Friday as the Mets fell 6-5 to the Dodgers in 10 innings, giving up two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk in one inning without striking out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

With the score tied 4-4, Familia entered the game to begin the 10th inning and promptly served up a leadoff homer to Will Smith, bringing home the phantom runner as well. To run salt in the wound, the Mets were able to get one run across against Kenley Jansen in the bottom of the 10th. Familia is having a rough August, posting a 7.50 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB through six innings across seven appearances, and his high-leverage opportunities will dry up down the stretch if he can't turn things around.
