The Cubs released Scahill on Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee and may have been informed that he wasn't a realistic candidate for the Opening Day bullpen. Rather than accepting an assignment to Triple-a Iowa, Scahill will presumably look to join an organization that may present an easier path to the big leagues.

Scahill agreed to a minor-league deal with the Cubs on Friday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill spent 2018 with the White Sox but threw just five innings at the big-league level, the fewest in his seven-year career. His 5.64 ERA in 60.2 innings for Triple-A Charlotte doesn't make a good case for him earning a larger major-league role this season, though he did have a 3.23 FIP at that level, suggesting that there may still be some more good innings in the 31-year-old's arm. He'll face an uphill battle to win an Opening Day roster spot but could be called upon when injuries strike the Cubs' pen.

Scahill was outrighted from the 40-man roster to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and will become a free agent following the end of the 2018 season.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill spent a majority of this past year at the Triple-A level, only joining the White Sox in September once rosters expanded. In six appearances with the big-league club, he allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three across five innings of relief.

Scahill had his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox in December and has spent the 2018 season with the Knights. The 31-year-old pitched in 18 games with the Brewers last season, posting a respectable 4.43 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 22.1 innings.

Scahill signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox that includes an invite to spring training, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 30-year-old journeyman, Scahill has a career 3.79 ERA in 144.2 big-league innings, but he only managed a 4.43 ERA in 22.1 innings with the Brewers last season. His career 15 percent strikeout rate is pretty awful by modern reliever standards, and he actually seems to be trending in the wrong direction (10.3 percent last year). He will serve as organizational depth and likely won't sniff any high-leverage opportunities, even if he earns a call to the majors at some point.

Scahill elected free agency Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill will become a free agent following the conclusion of the 2017 season, and will look to find a new home after spending the last year and a half with Milwaukee. During this past campaign, the reliever tossed 22.1 innings of work at the major-league level, and posted a 4.43 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 10:10 K:BB in the process.

Scahill accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill was designated for assignment Sunday, and given his struggles in the majors this season, no team was interested in obtaining his services while he was exposed to waivers. The right-hander will now move into an organizational depth role with the Sky Sox.

Scahill was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers will ship Scahill out to make room in the bullpen for Wily Peralta (calf), who was activated from the 10-day disabled list in a corresponding move. Since rejoining the big-league squad in late June, Scahill made five appearances with the Brewers, compiling a 7.71 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

Scahill's contract was selected by the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Scahill has tossed 17.2 innings of work for Milwaukee this season, posting a 3.57 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP during his time on the mound. The 30-year-old was cast off the 40-man roster in the middle of June, but was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs after passing through waivers. He will likely only spend a few days with the Brewers, as the team is seemingly shuffling between relievers every day now.

Scahill was outrighted to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After being designated for assignment earlier in the week, Scahill passed through waivers untouched and will report to the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate. He held a 3.57 ERA and 5:9 K:BB through 17.2 innings with the big club this season, and will be stashed at Colorado Springs as organizational depth.
