The Giants designated Brantly for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly was able to secure a spot on the Giants' 30-man Opening Day roster as a second catcher after Buster Posey opted out of the 2020 season, but the 31-year-old journeyman didn't stick around at the big-league level for long. He made his lone start behind the dish Friday against the Dodgers and went 0-for-3 at the plate. The Giants selected Chadwick Tromp's contract from their alternate training site in a corresponding move, so he'll replace Brantly as the No. 2 backstop behind Tyler Heineman.

The Giants selected Brantly's contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly and Tyler Heineman will be the lone catchers on the Giants' 30-man roster after Buster Posey elected to opt out of the 2020 season earlier this month. A career .229/.294/.332 hitter over parts of five MLB seasons, the 31-year-old Brantly won't offer much to get excited about from a fantasy perspective even if he emerges as the clear top catcher for San Francisco.

Brantly made the Giants' 60-man roster.

EDGE Analysis

He was in camp on a minor-league deal and will provide catching depth in the shortened season. Buster Posey will be the primary catcher while Brantly competes with Scott Heineman for the backup role. Joey Bart is also in the 60-man pool but he is not expected to open the year in the majors.

Brantly signed with the Giants as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly served as organizational depth for the Phillies last season, striking out in his lone big-league plate appearance. With a career .229/.294/.332 slash line in 127 games at the highest level, he'll likely fill the same role for the Giants this season.

Brantly was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Unsurprisingly, Brantly went unclaimed through waivers after the Phillies designated him for assignment over the weekend. The 30-year-old journeyman is expected to fill a depth role at catcher for Lehigh Valley.

Brantly was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly was up for a single day while J.T. Realmuto was on the paternity list, striking out in his only plate appearance. The Phillies can be reasonably confident that he'll pass through waivers unclaimed, as he owns a career .229/.294/.332 slash line and hasn't recorded a big-league hit since 2017.

Brantly's contract was selected by the Phillies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He will back up Andrew Knapp over the weekend while J.T. Realmuto is on the paternity list. It would be a surprise to see Brantly make more than one start during his likely brief time with the team, and his career .230/.294/.333 slash line in 126 major-league games doesn't make him a particularly interesting daily fantasy flyer if he does get into the lineup.

Brantly signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday, which includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly will provide some extra depth at the catching position with over 100 games at the major-league level in his belt. During the 2018 campaign, Brantly hit just .210/.252/.284 with two home runs and 21 RBI across 72 games in Triple-A.

Brantly signed a minor-league contract with the Indians on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly was cut loose by the Braves last Sunday after posting a .218/.254/.293 slash with Triple-A Gwinnett this season. The 29-year-old likely just bolsters the organization's catching depth with the departure of Francisco Mejia in the trade with the Padres for relievers Brad Hand and Adam Cimber.

The Braves released Brantly from his minor-league contract Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Triple-A Gwinnett cut ties with Brantly to make room for catching prospect Alex Jackson, who was promoted from Double-A Mississippi to fill the opening on the roster. Over 201 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season, Brantly slashed .218/.254/.293 with one home run.
