Grimm was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with an apparent injury to his right index finger, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm had an awful outing, giving up four runs on three hits and three walks while recording only two outs on 38 pitches before exiting the contest. The veteran right-hander will be unavailable for a couple days due to the pitch count, regardless of the severity of the injury.

Grimm's contract was selected by the Brewers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move confirms reports from over the weekend that Grimm had made Milwaukee's Opening Day roster. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role, as his last big-league time came back in 2018, when he allowing 20 earned runs in 17.1 innings while walking more batters (14) than he struck out (11).

Grimm has made the Brewers' 30-man roster, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has not yet been officially added to the 40-man roster, but the Brewers have multiple players on the COVID-19 injured list which gives them a few open spots on the 40-man. Grimm is expected to primarily pitch in low-leverage situations.

Grimm signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old will receive an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal. He's not particularly likely to win a job this spring, as he didn't pitch in the big leagues last year and had a 10.38 ERA in 17.1 innings at the major-league level in 2018.

The Reds acquired Grimm from the Dodgers last week in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm attended spring training with the Indians on a minor-league pact but was unable to win a spot on the Opening Day roster, prompting his release. He quickly latched on with the Dodgers on another minor-league deal and accrued a 5.66 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 41.1 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City before the organization shipped him to Cincinnati. He'll continue to pitch out of the bullpen at the Triple-A level for the Reds' International League affiliate in Louisville.

Grimm signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Sunday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm quickly found a new home after opting out of his deal with the Indians last week. The veteran right-hander will join the Dodgers in Anaheim for the team's exhibition Freeway Series and is a candidate to break camp in a long relief role. He spent time with the Royals and Mariners in 2018, struggling to a 10.38 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 11:14 K:BB through 17.1 innings.

Grimm elected to opt out of his minor-league deal with the Indians on Wednesday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Indians informed Grimm earlier in the day he would not make the team's Opening Day roster, and he decided to utilize the opt out rather than head to the minors. The 29-year-old performed well this spring with a 1.04 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings. The veteran right-hander is now free to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Grimm was informed Wednesday that he will not be on Cleveland's Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm made it a difficult decision for the Indians, posting a 1.04 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB through 8.2 innings this spring. While Cleveland would prefer the right-hander to remain with the team on a minor-league deal, Grimm may want to exercise his opt-out in order to pursue other potential big-league opportunities.

Grimm signed a minor-league contract with the Indians on Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm dealt with a shoulder impingement for a good chunk of the 2018 season and wound up posting an ugly 10.38 ERA and 1.94 WHIP across 17.1 innings with the Royals and Mariners. He should provide bullpen depth for the Indians in 2019.

Grimm was taken off the 40-man roster by being outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm and fellow reliever Ryan Cook were each removed from the 40-man roster in order to clear up some space for younger prospects that need to be protected this offseason. Across 21 appearances between Seattle and Kansas City, Grimm logged a disastrous 10.38 ERA and 1.90 WHIP with an 11:14 K:BB in 17.1 innings.
