House signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will compete in spring training for one of the lefty reliever spots. House has a career 4.44 ERA, but he has a 2.84 FIP, 1.18 WHIP and 15.6 percent K-BB% in 34 career innings against left-handed hitters.

House, who was being looked at by the Twins, is now expected to sign with the Blue Jays, Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500 reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old southpaw showed promise with Cleveland back in 2014 as a member of their starting rotation. That year, he pitched 102 innings over 18 starts and one relief appearance and posted a 3.35 ERA. House was sidelined for most of 2015 due to shoulder inflammation, and spent a majority of 2016 with Triple-A Columbus. Over 72.1 innings (12 starts and 21 relief appearances), House managed a 3.98 ERA, but struggled with his control, posting a 5.4 BB/9 that led to an ugly 1.83 WHIP. He'll likely start the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Buffalo, but House should have a fair chance at earning his way back to the big league mound.

House was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Paul Hoynes reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment earlier this month and will now be outrighted to Triple-A, making him eligible for minor league free agency. It was only a couple years ago when House was a trendy late-round pick after a quality 102-inning run in the big league rotation, but his production took a big dip in 2015, and he worked primarily as a reliever this season at Triple-A.

House was designated for assignment by the Indians on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

House was not on the Indians' major league roster, so the main purpose of designating him for assignment was to remove him from the 40-man roster. He appeared in just eight big-league games over the last two seasons after starting 18 games for the big club in 2014.

House was optioned back to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

House was recently recalled from Columbus on Saturday, but didn't get any time on the field in this stint with the big league club. The 26-year-old has posted a 4.23 ERA with a 1.80 WHIP during the season with Columbus, but could go back to Cleveland again before the end of the season, as the right-hander has bounced between the teams a couple of times this season.

House was recalled from Triple-A Columbus prior to the Indians game Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

House has pitched in four games with Cleveland this season, posting a 3.38 ERA with two strikeouts during 2.2 innings on the mound. He had been pitching extremely well with Columbus out of the bullpen, touting a 1.98 ERA over 14 appearances with the club.

House was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed House has only appeared in four games with the Indians this season, notching a 3.38 ERA with two strikeouts and six hits allowed over 2.2 innings of work. With House gone, the Indians will be working with a short bullpen that does not feature a lefty. The Indians recalled infielder Erik Gonzalez in a corresponding move Thursday.

House was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

House hasn't necessarily been spectacular in the minors this season, as the lefty has surrendered a 4.45 ERA and 1.80 WHIP over 19 appearances (12 starts) for Columbus. He'll likely take on a role as a lefty specialist, similar to that of Tom Gorzellany, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Indians optioned House to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

House did not pitch well enough this spring to factor into the mix for a spot in the Indians' rotation, but he did make four starts for the big club last season and 18 the year before, so he stands a chance to start for the Indians at some point this season.

House tossed four scoreless innings, allowing just three hits, in his latest start Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

House has pitched well at times but is still struggling to find his curveball which may be all it takes to send him down to Triple-A Columbus to start the season. The Indians will use their fifth starter sparingly in the first month of the season and the Indians figure to let House get regular work at Triple-A after missing the bulk of last year with a shoulder injury.
