Federowicz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Despite drawing starts both of the past two days, Federowicz still appears to be stuck in a timeshare behind the dish with Jeff Mathis, who gets the nod at catcher in the series finale. Federowicz is batting just .180 since joining the Rangers in early June and could lose his spot on the active roster once the team decides Isiah Kiner-Falefa is ready to return from Triple-A Nashville.

Federowicz went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran catcher only has seven hits in 14 games since joining the Rangers, but three of them have left the yard. Federowicz will continue backing up Jeff Mathis until Isiah Kiner-Falefa (finger) returns from the IL.

Federowicz went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer as the Rangers defeated the Athletics 10-5 in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Playing his first game as a Ranger, Federowicz homered to break the game open by lifting the Rangers to a 10-4 lead. The 31-year-old backstop is likely to split time with Jeff Mathis as Isiah Kiner-Falefa (finger) is currently on the injured list.

Federowicz was traded from Cleveland to Texas on Friday in exchange for cash or a player to be named later.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz will head immediately to the big leagues to serve as the backup catcher behind Jeff Mathis while Isiah Kiner-Falefa (finger) remains on the injured list. The veteran owns a .199/.247/.323 slash line over parts of seven seasons and is unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact during his time on the roster.

Federowicz signed a minor-league contract with the Indians on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz's contract includes an invitation to big-league spring training, but he won't be a strong candidate to crack the Opening Day roster unless one of Roberto Perez or Kevin Plawecki begin the campaign on the injured list. A 31-year-old journeyman, Federowicz has appeared in 134 games at the MLB level between the Dodgers, Cubs, Giants, Reds and Astros, submitting a .199/.247/.323 slash line.

Federowicz was outrighted from the 40-man roster and sent to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz cleared waivers and will remain in Cincinnati's organization after spending a majority of September with the big-league team. Across 60 games at the Triple-A level in 2018, he slashed .297/.372/.486 with seven home runs and 31 RBI.

Federowicz's contract was selected by the Reds on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz is the classic third catcher, having received major-league playing time in each of the last eight seasons but appearing in more than 23 games just once. He'll fill that role for the Reds in September, stuck behind Tucker Barnhart and Curt Casali. The combination of his role and his career .197/.244/.311 slash line leaves him with minimal fantasy value.

Federowicz signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop didn't take long to find work after he elected free agency last week rather than remaining in the Astros organization when he went unclaimed off waivers. He'll offer the Reds some experienced depth behind the plate in the upper levels of the minors and could be first in line for a promotion to the big leagues if either Tucker Barnhart to No. 2 catcher Curt Casali should succumb to an injury in the second half.

Federowicz passed through waivers unclaimed but elected free agency instead of reporting to Triple-A Fresno, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz's time within the Astros' organization has come to an end after he was designated for assignment by the club last week. He only played in 10 games for the big-league team in 2018, as he spent most of his time with Fresno before being recalled in early July due to Brian McCann's (knee) placement on the DL. He will look to latch on with another organization in the coming days, though it's highly unlikely that he will make an impact in the majors.

Federowicz was designated for assignment by the Astros on Thursday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz was cast off the roster following Houston's acquisition of catcher Martin Maldonado prior to Thursday's game. Through 10 games with the big-league team, Federowicz hit just .206/.229/.294 with 13 strikeouts. He will now be subject to the waiver wire but could wind up returning to Triple-A Fresno if he passes through unclaimed.
