The Padres re-signed Edwards to a minor-league contact Monday. Edwards elected free agency after being outrighted off the Padres' 40-man roster earlier this month, but he's ultimately returned on a new deal. The righty failed to retire a batter in his lone appearance for San Diego and holds a 1.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 24.1 innings with Triple-A El Paso this season.

Edwards elected free agency Wednesday. Edwards was scrubbed from the Padres' 40-man roster after just one appearance and has decided to look for a job in a new organization rather than accepting an outright assignment. The righty was used as a starter at Triple-A El Paso but is likely to shift back to a relief role at his next stop.

The Padres designated Edwards for assignment Monday. The move makes room on the 40-man roster for the reinstatement of right-hander Joe Musgrove (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. Edwards was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, and in his lone outing against the Pirates that same day, he allowed two walks and one hit without recording an out. He has a 1.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 24.1 innings in El Paso this season.

The Padres signed Edwards to a minor-league contract Thursday. Edwards had been with Triple-A Iowa in the Cubs organization before being released last month. Given that he posted a 1.85 ERA over 24.1 innings (albeit with 15 walks), it could have been an opt-out situation. Edwards has already made one appearance with the Padres' Arizona Complex League affiliate, striking out four over 2.1 perfect frames. He should soon be assigned to Triple-A El Paso, where he will provide veteran relief depth.

Edwards signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Thursday, per the MLB transaction log. Edwards returned to the Cubs on an NRI deal in January, but he opted out of that contract March 23. He'll rejoin Chicago and start out with Triple-A Iowa. As a member of the Nationals last season, Edwards posted a 3.69 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 24:17 K:BB over 31.2 innings.
