Rosenthal agreed Saturday to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosenthal has not thrown a pitch in the majors since 2020 while dealing with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. The right-hander returns to the Tigers after appearing in 10 games with the club back in 2019 where he had a 7.00 ERA over nine innings. When healthy and at his best, Rosenthal has been a dominant reliever, but injuries and an inability to throw consistent strikes have limited that version considerably since 2017. He'll compete for a relief role with the Tigers, and if he can stay healthy while limiting the self-inflicted damage, he could compete for saves with Detroit this summer.

Rosenthal (lat) said Thursday that he's back to full health and intends to continue his career in 2023, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old Rosenthal appeared to revive his career during the abbreviated 2020 campaign, when he logged a 1.90 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while saving 11 games across 23 appearances with the Royals and Padres. He inked a one-year, $11 million deal with the Athletics following that season, but he never pitched for the club after undergoing thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in April 2021 and then surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip that July. Rosenthal appeared poised to make a late-season return in 2022 after signing with the Giants -- and later being traded to the Brewers -- this summer, but a hamstring injury and then a lat injury prevented him from resurfacing in the majors. Due to his poor health record over the past couple years, Rosenthal may have to settle for an incentive-laden minor-league deal in free agency this winter.

Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Rosenthal (hamstring/lat) is "probably" out for the remainder of the season, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosenthal spent the last several months recovering from a hamstring injury, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in mid-August. However, he left his rehab appearance Tuesday with a lat injury that will likely cost him the remainder of the season. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander is expected to be available for spring training in 2023 after missing two full seasons.

Rosenthal (hamstring) left his rehab appearance Tuesday with a lat injury and is getting checked out by a doctor Friday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers picked up Rosenthal from the Giants at the deadline, but his unfortunate injury history hasn't changed with his new team. Thoracic outlet syndrome and hip surgery wiped out his entire 2021 season, and he's since dealt with both hamstring and lat troubles. Whether or not he has time to make it back from his latest setback before the end of the season is unclear.

Rosenthal (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosenthal reached 98 mph during a workout Friday and has now been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. The right-hander missed the 2021 season after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, and he's been dealing with a hamstring issue since early June. He'll likely require multiple rehab appearances before he's cleared to join the Brewers' bullpen, but the team hopes that he'll be able to return sometime in late August.

Rosenthal (hamstring) was traded from the Giants to the Brewers on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers GM David Stearns said the team is targeting late August for Rosenthal's debut. The veteran right-hander missed last season after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome and has recently dealt with hamstring soreness after signing with the Giants on July 21.

Rosenthal (hamstring) is "several weeks" away from appearing in a game with the Giants, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosenthal signed with the Giants on Thursday but his debut with the team is not imminent. He's begun throwing off a mound again but will need a rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list. Depending on how quickly Rosenthal can return, he may be a candidate to pick up saves as manager Gabe Kapler remarked that Rosenthal "is just healthy away from being one of the more effective closers in the game."

Rosenthal signed a one-year, $4.5 million contract with the Giants on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosenthal dealt with a cramp in his hamstring area following a showcase in early June, and he'll land on the injured list due to the issue. He's rehabbing in Arizona, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 due to shoulder and hip issues that he dealt with last year. Rosenthal has earned double-digit saves in four of his last five seasons. However, given his lengthy layoff, he'll likely take on some lower-leverage work once cleared to pitch at the big-league level.

Rosenthal suffered a cramp in his hamstring area at the end of his showcase Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rosenthal reached 95-96 mph during his showcase that was attended by 14 teams, but he's dealing with a hamstring injury afterward. The right-hander has reportedly drawn interest from several clubs over the last few months, and he could be in contact with some teams after Tuesday's showcase as long as his injury isn't a significant concern.

Rosenthal will throw in a showcase Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported a few months prior that several organizations were showing interest in the veteran right-hander, but he's yet to put pen to paper. Even if he were to sign a contract in the near future, he would likely need some time to ramp up his throwing before having a chance to pitch in the majors. A timeline for Rosenthal's return to the big leagues should become more clear if he officially signs a deal.
