The Guardians released Syndergaard on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was removed from Cleveland's 40-man roster over the weekend and is now officially a free agent after passing through waivers unclaimed. Syndergaard has posted a 6.50 ERA in 18 starts this season for the Dodgers and Guardians but could latch on with some team in need of an arm to eat innings.

Syndergaard did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in a 10-7 win over the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard held a one-run lead as he entered the sixth but served up a two-run go-ahead homer to Davis Schneider that left him in position for the loss. The Guardians then reclaimed the lead in the top of the eighth to take Syndergaard off the hook. This start marked the third time in six appearances for the Guardians that Syndergaard has allowed five earned runs. He'll look to rebound as he's penciled in to start next weekend at home against the Rays.

Syndergaard was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Sunday, Julia Kreuz of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard was traded from the Dodgers to the Guardians in late July, and he made six starts for his new club. He was inconsistent during his time with Cleveland and will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after giving up five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in six innings Sunday against the Blue Jays. Cal Quantrill (shoulder) is slated to return from the injured list this week, so Syndergaard was no longer needed as a starter. If he clears waivers, it wouldn't be surprising to see Syndergaard elect free agency so he can seek out another organization for the final month of the regular season.

Syndergaard came away with a no-decision Tuesday in the Guardians' win over the Dodgers, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander wasn't dominant, managing only nine swinging strikes among his 95 pitches, but Syndergaard did deliver his first quality start since April. He's alternated solid outings with poor ones since coming over to Cleveland at the trade deadline, but his overall 4.94 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB through 27.1 innings makes him an unappealing fantasy option in most formats. He'll look to build some momentum in his next start, likely to come this weekend in Toronto.

Syndergaard (1-1) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 4-3 victory over Toronto. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard struggled early, allowing five hits and a walk over the first two innings, though it would only lead to one coming across for Toronto. The veteran right-hander settled in after that, hurling three consecutive 1-2-3 innings before once again running into trouble in the sixth. He was replaced by Nick Sandlin with two outs in the frame, just missing out on a quality start, but he's now allowed one run or fewer in two of his first three starts since joining the Guardians. It also marked Syndergaard's first win since April 30.

Syndergaard (1-5) pitched six innings against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing five runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out three batters.

EDGE Analysis

While Syndergaard was able to give Cleveland decent length, throwing 83 pitches over six frames, he had trouble keeping the ball in the park. The right-hander served up four homers, including three across the third and fourth innings. Syndergaard at least seemed to be physically fine after departing his previous contest as a result of taking a comebacker off his lower right leg, but this was a step back compared to that outing, during which he allowed just one run over 5.1 frames. The veteran hurler is getting a shot in the Guardians' rotation due to a slew of injuries to other starters, but he's struggled to get big-league hitters out this season, compiling a 6.75 ERA over 14 starts between Cleveland and the Dodgers.

Syndergaard exited Monday's start against the Astros in the bottom of the sixth inning after being struck by a comebacker in his lower right leg, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard was on the 15-day injured list with a finger injury when he was traded from the Dodgers to the Guardians on Wednesday, but he was activated to make his team debut ahead of Monday's matchup. The 30-year-old was relatively productive prior to his premature exit, allowing a run on two hits and two walks while failing to strike out a batter in 5.1 innings. Syndergaard gave up at least five runs in each of his final three starts with the Dodgers, but his first outing with Cleveland was encouraging. However, the exact nature and severity of his injury are unclear, and whether he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation remains to be seen.

Syndergaard (finger) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start for the Guardians on Monday in Houston, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard will be making his Guardians debut after he was acquired from the Dodgers on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop Amed Rosario. The 30-year-old has been on the injured list since early June due to a blister on his right index finger and struggled to a 7.16 ERA in 55.1 innings (12 starts) during his time with Los Angeles.

The Dodgers traded Syndergaard (finger) to the Guardians on Wednesday in exchange for Amed Rosario, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard has been on the injured list since June 8 with a blister on his right index finger and began a rehab assignment July 15. The 30-year-old righty holds a 7.16 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 55.1 innings across 12 starts with the Dodgers, and he will presumably work out of the back end of Cleveland's rotation once he returns from his assignment -- likely in early August.

Syndergaard (finger) is scheduled to make another rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard's upcoming start will be his third in the minors, and manager Dave Roberts noted Thursday's outing will be the right-hander's final one of yhe rehab assignment. "That's when the rubber meets the road, and we have to make a decision," stated Roberts. If he comes out of the appearance feeling healthy, the Dodgers should activate Syndergaard from the 15-day injured list and would likely give him another chance in the starting rotation, especially with Emmet Sheehan (8.49 ERA over his last five starts) struggling at the back end.
