Featherston was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Featherston has spent 102 games this season, slashing .240/.292/.404 with 13 homers and 49 RBI for the Naturals, resulting in a promotion to Triple-A. His last big-league appearance dates back to the 2017 campaign with the Rays, when he struggled to a .179 average with two home runs and six RBI over 17 contests.

Featherston signed a minor-league contract with the Royals, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Featherston played in 137 big-league games from 2015 to 2017, but his miserable .160/.221/.256 line didn't earn him any playing time last season. He can play anywhere in the infield but his bat is likely too light for even a rebuilding Royals team to find at-bats for him.

Featherston signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Featherston had been playing for the independent Kansas City T-Bones before the club sold his rights to the Reds after Cincinnati expressed interest in bringing him into the organization. The 28-year-old, who owns a .160/.221/.256 batting line over 244 career plate appearances, will report to Double-A Pensacola.

Featherston was released by the Twins on Monday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Featherston had been with the Twins on a minor-league deal since the start of the season, but struggled to a miserable .167/.270/.278 line in 55 games for Triple-A Rochester. He's unlikely to be a hot commodity on the free agent market, as his career major-league line sits at a similarly ugly .160/.221/.256 through 244 plate appearances.

Featherston agreed to a minor-league contract with the Twins on Friday, Mike Berardino of The Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Featherston has played in 137 major-league games during the course of his professional career, and although most of those appearances came in 2015, he will be able to provide added infield depth for Minnesota heading into this upcoming season. During the 2017 campaign, the second baseman spent most of his time in the Triple-A level -- which is where he will likely begin next year -- and hit just .179/.277/.359 during 39 at-bats in the big leagues for the Rays.

Featherston cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment on Monday, and will spend the rest of the year at Durham. Featherston has a career .160/.221/.256 slash line in 244 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Featherston was designated for assignment Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

In an effort to make room on the 40-man roster for the now-healthy Matt Andriese, Featherston was designated for assignment. Featherston has spent most of his time at Triple-A Durham this season, where he's hit .270 with a .764 OPS over 46 games.

Featherston was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel Robertson was reinstated from the disabled list Friday, making Featherston the roster casualty as a result. The infielder didn't make one start after being recalled Monday and is hitting just .179 in 39 at-bats for Tampa Bay this season. He'll get more starting opportunities down in Triple-A, but continues to serve as organizational depth for the time being.

Featherston was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tim Beckham being dealt to the Orioles just before the trade deadline, Featherston will head back to the majors to fill his spot on the active roster. Despite the promotion, the 27-year-old looks like nothing more than a reserve utility option given his unspectacular .161 career batting average in the big leagues.

Featherston was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tim Beckham is set to come off the DL after missing time with an ankle injury, bringing an end to Featherston's extended stay in the big leagues. The 27-year-old was originally brought in as an injury replacement for Brad Miller, but his .184 average through 38 at-bats won't earn him an extensive role with the squad. Featherston returns to Triple-A, where he slashed .270/.370/.394 over 46 games for Lehigh Valley before being traded to Tampa Bay.
