Grimm was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm joined the Mariners on a minor-league deal in late July after being released by the Royals. The 29-year-old allowed 19 runs over 12.2 innings with Kansas City and will likely serve as a long reliever out of the Mariners bullpen.

Grimm (shoulder) was placed on the minor-league disabled list after signing a contract with the Mariners on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm was recovering from right shoulder impingement syndrome prior to his release by the Royals in early July. The right-hander was added to the roster at Triple-A Tacoma upon his signing. Across 16 appearances with Kansas City in 2018, he logged an ERA of 13.50 and 2.45 WHIP with an 8:14 K:BB in 12.2 innings of relief.

Grimm (shoulder) was released by the Royals on Saturday, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm missed time with both shoulder and back issues this season. He allowed 19 runs in 12.2 innings when available. His career ERA sits at 5.02 after 351.1 innings, so he's unlikely to generate a ton of interest as a free agent.

Grimm was put on the 10-day DL due to right shoulder impingement syndrome prior to Wednesday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm's placement was backdated to June 24, which means that he will be eligible to come off the shelf against the Indians on July 4. The reliever spent over six weeks on the disabled list due to lower-back stiffness before rejoining the Royals on June 12. Since that span, he appeared in six games, posting a 3.18 ERA across 4.2 innings. All signs point toward Grimm being able to return following a short stay on the DL, but expect an update on his status once the calendar turns to July.

Grimm (back) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm is finally back with the Royals after spending more than a month on the shelf with lower-back stiffness. He made nine rehab appearances with Triple-A Omaha before being cleared to rejoin the big club, striking out 13 batters across 9.1 innings of work (8.68 ERA). Grimm should slot back into a middle-relief role now that he's healthy. Trevor Oaks was sent to the minors in a corresponding roster move.

Grimm (back) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is on the verge of going on a rehab assignment, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm may wind up throwing a live batting practice session within the next couple days before heading out on a rehab assignment. The right-hander isn't expected to need a lengthy rehab stint, and could return to the fold sometime next week if all goes according to plan.

Grimm was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with lower back stiffness.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Grimm picked up the injury, but it could help explain his recent struggles. Over his last five outings, Grimm has allowed 16 runs over just 2.2 innings of work, walking eight batters while striking out just two. He'll get some time off to recover, though it's unclear when exactly he'll be ready to return at this point. In the meantime, Eric Stout was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move and will take Grimm's spot in the bullpen.

Grimm gave up six runs on four hits and a pair of walks while recording just one out in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He's now given up multiple earned runs in four straight appearances, shooting his ERA all the way up to an unsightly 18.90. Grimm logged three holds in his first four appearances, but until he rights the ship, it may be tough to trust him in high-leverage situations.

Grimm retired three Tigers hitters on six pitches en route to notching his second hold of the season Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After giving up a run on Opening Day, Grimm has logged holds on back-to-back appearances. Brandon Maurer and Blaine Boyer have each struggled in the early going, so if Grimm continues to pitch fairly well, he could ascend to being the top setup man for closer Kelvin Herrera.

Grimm agreed Sunday with the Royals on a one-year, $1.25 million contract, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm didn't have to wait long to find work after the Cubs released the veteran right-hander just days earlier. With the Royals inking him to a major-league deal, Grimm is in good shape to make the Opening Day roster, and he could quickly move up the ranks given the lack of dependable arms behind closer Kelvin Herrera. The Royals designated Sam Gaviglio for assignment to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Grimm.
