Graham was released by the Yankees on Monday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2011 fourth-round draft pick attempted to revive his professional career in the Yankees organization last season to no avail. Graham could only muster a 6.64 ERA and a 2.14 WHIP in 20.1 innings pitched at Triple-A last season. Given this rough stat line, it doesn't seem like he'll be anything more than an organizational depth piece if he manages to find a new organization to call home.

Graham was outrighted to Triple-A on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Graham began the season in Minnesota before coming to New York via trade in mid-May. The 26-year-old spent the remainder of the season at the Double and Triple-A levels, with the bulk of his work coming at Double-A Trenton. Monday's move simply removes Graham from the 40-man roster.

Graham was traded to the Yankees on Saturday for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Once a noteworthy prospect in the Braves' organizations, Graham struggled largely as a member of the Twins' organization over the past two seasons, and the Yankees will see if they can salvage his professional career. He has made just one start since 2014, and will likely be developed as a reliever by the Yankees. Graham will be optioned to Triple-A Trenton.

Graham was designated for assignment Friday, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins brought Darin Mastroianni and Juan Centeno up from Triple-A, so two spots on the 40-man roster needed to be cleared for them. Graham was not good in his lone appearance out of the Twins bullpen, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk in 1.2 innings of work, which made him more expendable to the organization. He'll head back to the minors and act as organizational pitching depth going forward.

Graham will be recalled by the Twins, LaVelle E. Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graham hasn't been particularly impressive at Rochester this season, allowing 10 runs in just 8.1 innings. He will add an extra arm to the Twins' bullpen but his stay isn't expected to last beyond Ervin Santana's (back) activation from the disabled list, which could come as soon as Saturday.

Graham was optioned to Triple-A Rochester.

EDGE Analysis

Graham spent all last season with the Twins as a Rule 5 pick, so the Twins may want him to get some time at Triple-A this year. Despite a 4.95 ERA last seasson, Graham showed some promise with a 7.5 K/9 and 94.7 mph average fastball. He should be called up at some point this summer.

Graham lost around 30 pounds during the offseason but it hasn't impacted his velocity as he topped out at 96 mph on fastballs in Wednesday's spring outing, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "He's still got his velocity," Molitor said. "We were wondering how the ball was going come out of his hand this spring after his, transformation, if you will. Things have been fairly clean so far."

EDGE Analysis

Despite a 4.95 ERA last seasson, Graham showed some promise with a 7.5 K/9 and 94.7 mph average fastball. He looks set to be part of Minnesota's bullpen again.

Graham (shoulder) was activated from the DL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Graham progressed through his rehab quickly and will return to the Twins after missing only the minimum 15 days. He'll likely return to his role as a middle reliever, though he struggled mightily before hitting the DL in August before, allowing 12 earned runs on 16 hits over 8.2 cumulative innings.

Graham (shoulder) threw a full 30-pitch bullpen session Friday and is on track to come off the DL during next weekend's series in Chicago, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

He used all his pitches Friday and said he felt great, so the Twins should be getting a legitimate bullpen contributor to help down the stretch.

Graham was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graham's shoulder swelled up after he threw two-thirds of an inning in Tuesday night's win over Tampa Bay. With the team looking to take no chances, Graham will hit the DL, which frees up a roster spot for Blaine Boyer, who was activated from the disabled list Wednesday afternoon. Graham, who will be eligible to return August 10, holds a 5.15 ERA on the year.
