Belisle (knee) threw live batting practice Saturday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle has been out since Aug. 7 with sore cartilage in his right knee. His return date is not yet clear, but he appears to be making progress in his recovery.

Belisle was placed on the 10-day disabled list with right knee chondromalacia (sore cartilage) Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how much time the issue will cause Belisle to miss. In a corresponding move, Matt Magill was reinstated from the paternity list.

Belisle signed a major-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's somewhat of a surprise that Belisle was able to land a major-league deal, as he's 38 years old and has posted a 5.06 ERA with a paltry 9.1 percent strikeout rate in 10.2 innings so far this year with Cleveland. He'll head back to Minnesota, where he tossed 60.1 innings with a 4.03 ERA last season. He picked up nine saves for the Twins late in the year after closer Brandon Kintzler was traded, but it would be surprising to see him in a high-leverage role this season.

Belisle was released by Cleveland on Monday in order pursue another pro opportunity.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle became a free agent in early May after declining an outright assignment to Triple-A, though he signed back with the Indians eight days later. He's now been released again in order to take a job elsewhere. What exactly that job is has not yet become clear. The 38-year-old has a mediocre 4.20 ERA over 15 big-league seasons.

Belisle agreed to a minor-league deal with the Indians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle will report to Triple-A Columbus. He was recently designated for assignment by the organization, but refused an outright assignment to the minors and became a free agent just over a week ago. Over eight appearances with the big-league club in 2018, the right-hander logged a 5.06 ERA and four strikeouts in 10.2 innings of relief.

Belisle became a free agent after declining his outright assignment to Triple-A on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle was designated for assignment Wednesday after producing a 5.06 ERA in 10.2 innings for Cleveland to start the season. His vast big-league experience could help him land a major-league deal, but his recent struggles against big-league hitters could deter potential suitors.

Belisle was designated for assignment by Cleveland on Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle appeared in eight games for the Indians during the first month of the 2018 season, accumulating a 5.06 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with a 4:1 K:BB over 10.2 innings of relief. The 38-year-old will be subject to waivers, though he will report to Triple-A Columbus if he goes unclaimed by another organization. In a corresponding move, Cleveland recalled Ben Taylor from the Clippers.

Belisle earned a roster spot in the Indians' bullpen, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle signed a minor-league deal with the club last month and was able to impress the organization throughout spring training, securing a low-leverage relief role to open the 2018 season. During 62 appearances with the Twins last year, he logged a 4.03 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 54:22 K:BB over 60.1 innings.

Belisle agreed to a minor-league contract with the Indians on Sunday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Belisle will have to settle for a minor-league deal this season after posting a 4.03 ERA and recording nine saves with the Twins in 2017. According to Heyman's report, the veteran reliever will earn $1.50 million if he reaches the majors and would be eligible for further incentives. Belisle isn't likely to find fantasy relevancy in 2018.
