Carl Edwards Jr., a veteran right-handed pitcher, has been assigned to Triple-A after being DFA'd and going unclaimed on waivers. Despite a rocky start in the majors this year with the Angels, his minor league performance has shown promise. Edwards, previously a notable setup man with the Cubs, has faced challenges, having pitched for seven teams since then. With the Angels' bullpen issues this season, he may still contribute, but he also has the option to become a free agent.
"Earlier in his career, Edwards was a top-ranked pitching prospect who eventually became a setup man with the Cubs, pitching 154 1/3 innings of 3.03 ERA ball with a gaudy 34.2% strikeout rate."
"Edwards has slipped into journeyman status since that brief peak, pitching for seven different big league teams - never spending more than two consecutive seasons with any club."
