The Athletics released Grimm on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After going unclaimed off waivers when he was designated for assignment over the weekend, Grimm will opt for free agency rather than being outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas. Before being moved off Oakland's 40-man roster, Grimm appeared in 15 games out of the bullpen and logged a 4.11 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 15.1 innings.

Grimm was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
After a rough start to the season, Grimm was more effective in early May, as he allowed just one unearned run in 8.1 innings over seven relief appearances to begin the month. However, the right-hander will be cast off the 40-man roster after giving up two runs in 2.1 innings over his last two outings. Grimm has posted an 8.68 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 40 relief appearances in the majors since 2018, so it remains to be seen if he will draw any interest on the waiver wire, and if he remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed.

Grimm, who fired a perfect sixth inning in a loss to the Twins on Sunday, has three straight scoreless appearances after allowing two earned runs in back-to-back outings April 21 and 29.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander has covered 3.1 innings during that trio of outings, allowing just one hit and a couple of walks. Grimm's pair of hiccups ballooned his ERA from 2.25 to 9.64, but his recent return to form has it firmly trending back downward, albeit still with plenty of room for improvement, at 5.63.

Grimm, who fired 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded two strikeouts against the Blue Jays on Saturday, has posted a 3.00 ERA and 4:1 K:BB across three innings over his first three appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm was a non-roster invitee that earned his spot with a strong Cactus League showing, and the right-hander has been able to follow it up with a solid trio of appearances early. The 32-year-old is likely to continue in a lower-leverage middle-relief role for the time being.

Grimm's contract was selected by the Athletics on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 7.1 innings across seven appearances as a non-roster invitee this spring, and he'll begin the year with a low-leverage role in Oakland's bullpen. He spent the entirety of 2021 at Triple-A Tacoma and logged a 4.37 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 47.1 innings.

Grimm confirmed Dec. 27 that he agreed with the Athletics on a minor-league contract, Tim Hayes of the Bristol Herald Courier reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old right-hander spent the 2021 campaign in the Mariners organization, logging a 4.37 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 47.1 innings at Triple-A Tacoma. Grimm previously spent portions of eight seasons in the big leagues between 2012 and 2020, compiling a 5.14 ERA over 310 career appearances (19 starts).

Grimm signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm was released by the Brewers in September of 2020, but he'll now report to Triple-A Tacoma early in the minor-league season. The right-hander made four major-league appearances last year and posted a 17.36 ERA and 2.79 WHIP in 4.2 innings.

Grimm was released by the Brewers on Tuesday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm has given up nine runs in 4.2 innings of work this season. He had a similarly-poor 10.38 ERA in 17.1 innings in his previous big-league stint back in 2018, so he's unlikely to be a hot commodity on the open market.

EDGE Analysis

Grimm was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a callous laceration on his right index finger.
EDGE Analysis
Grimm suffered the injury during Wednesday's loss to the Twins and will miss at least 10 days as a result. Angel Perdomo was added to the roster in a corresponding move and should take Grimm's spot in the bullpen for the time being.
