Chapman had his contract purchased from the New Britain Bees of the independent Atlantic League, Emily Waldon of The Athletic Detroit reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman compiled 11 strikeouts across 6.1 scoreless innings with the Bees before latching on with the Tigers. The 30-year-old owns a 4.09 ERA and 48:31 K:BB across 55 career big-league frames. He'll report to Triple-A Toledo where he'll serve as organizational bullpen depth for the Tigers.

Chapman was released Wednesday by the Twins, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman, who joined the Twins in May after coming over in the Danny Santana deal, appeared in nine games for Triple-A Rochester, turning in a 5.56 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 11.1 innings. The 29-year-old wasn't viewed as a potential answer to the big club's lackluster bullpen, so the organization elected to cut ties with the left-hander in order to open up a spot on the Rochester roster for Drew Rucinski.

Chapman was traded Monday to the Twins in exchange for left-hander Danny Santana.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman did not make the big-league club out of Spring Training, and he was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnet. There, he allowed 10 runs on 14 hits over 11.2 innings. The 29-year-old has pitched in 55 innings at the major league level, all with the Astros, and owns a 4.09 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP.

Chapman was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander fared much better after being scooped up off waivers from the Astros, but his spring performance still wasn't good enough to land him a spot in Atlanta's bullpen. Chapman's major-league experience could bode well for him if the Braves current pitching staff runs into some troubles, but he'll likely be limited to organizational depth until that need arises.

Chapman was claimed off waivers by the Braves Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves scooped Chapman as a possible bullpen option, as he was placed on waivers by the Astros last week. The southpaw has a 4.09 career ERA across 55 major league innings, but hasn't pitched in more than 10 innings in each of the previous two seasons. The 28-year-old will likely serve as organizational depth, but could crack the bullpen in a low-leverage role if he impresses.

The Astros placed Chapman on waivers Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was out of minor-league options and wasn't a viable candidate to land a bullpen role on Opening Day, so the Astros elected to cut their losses with the left-hander, who is expected to go unclaimed off waivers. Assuming that materializes, he'll likely be outrighted to Triple-A Fresno.

Chapman was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Monday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman will offer the Astros a left-handed option out of the bullpen during their push for the postseason. Over 26.2 big-league innings, Chapman has held lefty hitters to a .220/.327/.276 batting line.

Chapman will be recalled before the second game of Thursday's double-header.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman will be the Astro's 26th man. Houston's Wednesday night game was called due to inclement weather and will be made up on Thursday. The left-handed reliever likely won't remain on the Astro's major league roster for long, as the move is probably a precautionary one to preserve arms in Houston's bullpen during the double-header.

Chapman was optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old lefty reliever can miss bats, but he needs to work on his command/control before he is legitimate long-term option in the Astros' bullpen. He'll serve as organizational depth for now.

Chapman has made not permitted a run over five Grapefruit League appearances, but he's allowed five hits and two walks with just one strikeout over four innings this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Chapman has made 49 relief appearances with the Astros over the last three seasons, and while he does possess strikeout potential (8.04 K/9), he issues too many free passes (5.17 BB/9) to be counted on for a regular role out of the bullpen. As long as Tony Sipp is healthy and performing well, the 28-year-old southpaw will likely serve as pitching depth in the minors.
