The Rockies announced Friday that Pacheco has accepted a position within the organization as a hitting coach for Triple-A El Paso.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco's transition into coaching comes after he announced Aug. 3 via his personal Instagram account that he retired as a player. The 35-year-old most recently played in the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball with the Lexington Legends, but prior to that, he spent parts of six seasons in the majors from 2011 through 2016 with the Rockies, Diamondbacks and Reds. Pacheco retires with a career slash line of .272/.310/.365 to go with 10 home runs and eight stolen bases across 1,149 plate appearances.

Pacheco was placed on the disabled list with a right wrist fracture prior to Friday's game, Brandon Warne of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There has been no word on the severity of Pacheco's injury, but it's expected that he will miss an extended period of time. The catcher last appeared in the majors with Cincinnati in 2016, and is unlikely to move beyond Triple-A Rochester this season.

Pacheco was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic Minnesota reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Pacheco went just 1-for-12 (.083) at the plate this spring, he managed to boost his on-base percentage to .353 as he drew five walks. Pacheco, who last appeared in the majors in 2016 as a member of the Reds, will provide organizational depth for the Twins this season.

Pacheco signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Monday, Brandon Warne of The Athletic Minnesota reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco is looking to make his way back to the majors after spending all of the 2017 season in the independent Atlantic League with the Long Island Ducks, where he hit .273/.351/.420 in 42 games. The 32-year-old, who has prior major-league experience with the Rockies, Diamondbacks and Reds, will look to compete for a utility role with the Twins in 2018.

The Braves have signed Pacheco to a minor-league deal, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco will head to Triple-A Gwinnett where he will look to get back on track after a lackluster start to the season with the Reds. Pacheco elected to test free agency on Wednesday after the Reds outrighted him. Pacheco will slot behind A.J. Pierzynski and Tyler Flowers in the backstop pecking order.

Pacheco refused outright and elected free agency Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Pacheco suffering a shoulder injury after going just 8-for-51 with zero home runs, zero RBI and only one run scored in 31 games this season, the Reds decided to try and cut ties and outright him. However, Pacheco was able to refuse the outright and elect free agency, meaning he will be able to chose his next team, but his lack of offensive skills are an inherent limitation to his fantasy value.

Pacheco (shoulder) was placed on the DL Tuesday, retroactive to June 3.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old catcher hasn't played a major league game since June 1 due to right shoulder tendinitis and it is now clear that the injury is severe enough to send him to the DL. He had been struggling mightily the month prior, going 4-for-36 (.111) with 13 strikeouts since Apr. 21 so some time off to recover physically and mentally could be exactly what he needs to get his season back on track.

Pacheco is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco was replaced by Eugenio Suarez Tuesday, who will start at third and bat sixth. Pacheco has been in a slump lately, not getting a hit in his last seven at-bats, over a time span of five games. His slashline in 2016 is a currently at a dismal .174/.174/.261.

Pacheco has eight hits, four of which were doubles, after 41 at-bats this season.

EDGE Analysis

With the struggling Reds 40 games into the 2016 campaign, Pacheco has yet to find his groove. He has struck out in 24.4 percent of his at-bats and is hitting .195, the lowest batting average of his career. While it's too soon to say Pacheco won't be able to recover from his slow start, his numbers have continued to fall as he is 3-for-19 in the month of May.

Pacheco is in the lineup and batting seventh for Thursday's series finale against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco is receiving a rare start after Eugenio Suarez was moved to shortstop to replace the injured Zack Cozart. The 30-year-old hit .242/.333/.333 with two home runs in 2015 but is 0-for-5 thus far in 2016.
