Quackenbush was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Quackenbush made his first major-league appearance since 2018 against the Angels on Sunday, and he gave up a run on three hits and no walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning. He'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for right-hander Mitch White, who was recalled to start Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Quackenbush allowed one run one three hits while striking out one batter over one-third of an inning Sunday versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander's first appearance with his new club was less than ideal. He struck out Max Stassi to lead off the eighth inning but then gave up three straight hits, including a Jo Adell RBI double. However, he was rescued from an uglier final stat line when Justin Bruihl came in and retired two batters to keep any additional runs from scoring. The outing was Quackenbush's first big-league appearance since 2018, so it's not entirely surprising that he exhibited obvious rust.

Quackenbush's contract was selected by the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old has pitched in the big leagues in parts of five seasons, though his last major-league appearance came back in 2018. He owns a career 4.38 ERA in 207.2 innings at the highest level. He's spent this year pitching for Triple-A Oklahoma city, where he's allowed just two runs in 29.1 frames. Darien Nunez (undisclosed) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Quackenbush signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Los Angeles has yet to assign Quackenbush to an affiliate, but he'll presumably be ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City or Double-A Tulsa. The 32-year-old right-hander 203 relief appearances between the Padres and Reds from 2014 through 2018, logging a 4.38 ERA.

Quackenbush was released by the Nationals earlier this week, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He had been working at the alternate training site, but perhaps he requested his release, with little hope of reaching the majors this season. The 31-year-old righty's career may be coming to a close.

Quackenbush has been named to the Nationals' 60-man player pool, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Nats in January, but his big-league experience has earned him a look as an emergency bullpen option for the club this season. Quackenbush hasn't had much success since 2016, however, posting an 8.66 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 30:22 K:BB over his last 35.1 MLB innings.

Quackenbush signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quackenbush appeared in 25 games a season ago for Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting a 5.06 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with an 85:16 K:BB across 58.2 innings. He last surfaced in the majors during the 2018 campaign with Cincinnati.

Quackenbush signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quackenbush appeared in just 10 big-league games for the Reds this past season -- all coming in April -- during which he allowed 11 earned runs in nine innings of relief. The right-hander wound up being designated for assignment but remained with Cincinnati's organization and logged a 2.68 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with a 56:11 K:BB across 47 innings for Triple-A Louisville throughout the rest of the 2018 campaign. He will provide some additional depth for the Dodgers' bullpen heading into spring training.

Quackenbush cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Tripled-A Louisville.
EDGE Analysis
Quackenbush's poor start to the season, in which he allowed 11 runs in nine innings, caused him to be designated for assignment to make room for Kevin Shackelford. The 29-year-old went unclaimed and will now fill an organizational depth role for the Reds.

Quackenbush was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic Cincinnati reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quackenbush is coming off a brutal outing that saw him allow six runs on four hits and two walks in just one inning of work. He now owns a 11.00 ERA through nine innings this season, so the Reds decided to cast him off their 40-man roster in order to clear a roster spot for Kevin Shackelford, who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old reliever could draw some interest on waivers given his prior big-league experience, but he's likely nothing more than organizational bullpen depth at this point in his career.
