The Rangers needed to clear a spot on their roster for the return of Tyler Mahle (shoulder) on Friday and unfortunately Edwards drew the short straw this time around. The 34-year-old hurler has posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 6/3 K/BB ratio over six innings between the Rangers and Angels this season. He could pique the interest of another bullpen needy team on waivers.

Edwards is no stranger to the big leagues, having made a whopping 298 relief appearances since 2015. However, his return to the majors is notable since he opened the year with the Angels prior to a brief stint in the independent Mexican League before signing a minor league pact with the Rangers. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots gobbling up innings for Texas down the home stretch.

Edwards, who made a couple of relief appearances for the Angels in April, had recently been working as a starter in Mexico and went 5-2 with a 3.38 ERA and a 60/24 K/BB in 74 2/3 innings over 14 outings. That’s pretty good in a league that has a 5.90 ERA as a whole. One imagines the Rangers will keep starting him in the minors, but if he is called up at some point, it’d more likely be to pitch in relief.
