The Yankees selected McAllister's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's a story in perseverance, as the 35-year-old McAllister hasn't pitched in the majors since 2018, having bounced around to six different organizations since then on minor-league deals. He has earned a promotion by posting a 1.62 ERA and 20:4 K:BB over 16.2 innings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees signed McAllister to a minor-league contract Saturday and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

EDGE Analysis

McAllister, who was released by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, found a new organization just three days later. He made his Scranton/Wilkes-Barre debut Sunday, tossing a scoreless inning out of the bullpen. The 35-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in the majors since 2018, but he may have an outside chance at receiving a promotion over the final two months of the season if he can continue to turn in quality results at Triple-A. Between stops with the Yankees' and Diamondbacks' top affiliates, McAllister has compiled a 4.81 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 55:20 K:BB in 39.1 innings, with most of his appearances coming in hitter-friendly venues in the Pacific Coast League.

The Cardinals reassigned McAllister to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

McAllister was one of nine players sent out from big-league camp as the Cardinals look to narrow down their roster with Opening Day a week away. Though he was given the chance to compete for a spot in the Cardinals' bullpen to begin the season, McAllister never appeared likely to break camp with the big club. The 34-year-old right-hander has made 280 appearances (68) starts over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues, though he hasn't seen MLB action since 2018.

McAllister signed a minor-league contract Tuesday with the Cardinals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old right-hander spent the 2021 campaign in the Phillies organization, finishing the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and giving up five earned runs on 12 hits and six walks in 8.2 innings with the affiliate. Before that, McAllister spent parts of eight seasons in the majors with Cleveland and Detroit, though he hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2018. Unless he turns heads at the Cardinals' big-league camp, he'll most likely be headed to Triple-A Memphis once spring training ends.

McAllister agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Monday, the Peoria Journal Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

McAllister was released by the Rangers prior to Opening Day after the team informed him he wouldn't break camp with the big club. After three stellar years in relief for the Indians from 2015 through 2017, McAllister fell on hard times last season, posting a 6.20 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 44 appearances between Cleveland and Detroit. The Dodgers don't have an immediate opening in their bullpen, so he'll likely have to prove himself at Triple-A Oklahoma City before receiving a look with the big club.

McAllister was released by the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as a bit of a surprise, as McAllister -- who signed a one-year deal with the Rangers in January -- posted a respectable 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB through 12 innings this spring. The veteran right-hander should draw interest on the open market given his prior big-league success.

McAllister struck out two over two hitless and scoreless innings Monday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

This was McAllister's third appearance lasting more than an inning. Given the health of the Rangers' starting rotation -- three of five coming back from elbow surgery -- the team will need multi-inning relievers, and McAllister's making a bid to be one. He's allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight over 8.1 innings.

McAllister signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

McAllister struggled across stops with the Indians and Tigers in 2018, posting a 6.20 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:10 K:BB across 45 innings of relief. That said, given his track record of success as a reliever from 2015-2017, the veteran right-hander should get a chance to carve out a role as one of the Rangers' setup men in 2019.

McAllister signed with the Dodgers on a minor-league deal Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McAllister will head to Triple-A Oklahoma City in attempt to prove himself worthy of a September call-up. He has a 6.20 ERA in 45 innings with the Indians and Tigers this season but posted ERAs no higher than 3.44 in each of the past three seasons. At just 30 years old, he may be able to recapture some of his previous form, though he's unlikely to earn anything more than a low-leverage relief role.

McAllister cleared waivers and elected free agency Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McAllister will look for a major-league opportunity elsewhere after being designated for assignment by the Tigers over the weekend and subsequently clearing waivers. The 30-year-old owns an unsightly 6.20 ERA across 45 big-league innings this season (between the Tigers and Indians).
