Diamondbacks' Kyle Crockett: Signs with Diamondbacks
Crockett signed a minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
The 28-year-old spent time in the majors in each season from 2014 to 2018, posting a 3.74 ERA over 74.2 innings. He did not pitch at any level last season after being released by Oakland during spring training.

Athletics' Kyle Crockett: Inks minors deal with Oakland
Crockett signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics which includes an invitation to spring training, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Crockett spent the majority of the 2018 campaign with Triple-A Louisville, posting a 3.00 ERA and 38:7 K:BB across 39.0 innings of relief. The 29-year-old southpaw also made 15 appearances for the Reds, compiling a 5.79 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 9.1 frames. Crockett will likely serve as organizational depth, as he hasn't been productive at the highest level since an impressive rookie campaign in 2014.

The Reds outrighted Crockett to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Crockett will stick in the Reds organization after going unclaimed when he was exposed to waivers earlier in the weekend. The 26-year-old should fill a key bullpen role in Louisville, where he has submitted a 4.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB in 27 innings on the season.

Reds' Kyle Crockett: Nabs first 2018 win
Crockett got the win Tuesday night following the Reds' incredible ninth-inning rally against the Indians, after recording the final two outs of the eighth inning.

Reds' Kyle Crockett: Contract purchased from minors
Crockett had his contract purchased from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Crockett will take the place of the struggling Wandy Peralta, who was sent to the minors in a corresponding roster move. The 26-year-old lefty posted a 4.00 ERA and 23:5 K:BB across 27 innings with the Bats before earning a promotion. Crockett will likely be limited to a lower-leverage role out of the bullpen during his time with the Reds.

Reds' Kyle Crockett: Inks minor-league deal with Reds
Crockett agreed to a minor-league contract with the Reds on Monday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The deal includes an invitation to spring training. It's been a busy couple of weeks for Crockett, as he was non-tendered by the Reds last week just days after the team claimed him off waivers from the Indians. The 25-year-old southpaw spent most of his time with Triple-A Columbus last season but has made major-league appearances in each of the last four seasons, compiling a respectable 3.12 FIP over 65.1 major-league innings during that stretch. Look for him to compete for an Opening Day spot in the Reds' bullpen.

Kyle Crockett: Non-tendered by Reds
The Reds declined to tender Crockett a contract for 2018, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Cincinnati brought Crockett in from Cleveland on a waiver claim just days ago, but ultimately decided against offering him a contract for next year. The lefty turned in a 19.2 K-BB percentage in 51 appearances at the Triple-A level last season and owns a 3.12 FIP in 65.1 career innings in the major leagues.

Reds' Kyle Crockett: Plucked off waivers by Reds
Crockett was claimed off waivers by the Reds on Monday.
Crockett was picked up by Cincinnati after the Indians dropped him from their 40-man roster in order to protect another player from the Rule 5 draft. While the 25-year-old spent most of his 2017 campaign with Triple-A Columbus, he's seen brief stints with the Indians in each of the previous four seasons, making 107 relief appearances and compiling a 3.44 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 62 strikeouts in 65.1 innings of work. He's also given up just three homers over that span. Crockett will likely compete for an Opening Day bullpen spot.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Designated for assignment
Crockett was designated for assignment by the Indians on Monday.
Crockett was dropped from the 40-man roster in order to open up a spot for the Indians to protect another player from the Rule 5 draft. The 25-year-old spent most of his 2017 season with Triple-A Columbus, compiling a 3.38 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 49:11 K:BB across 48 innings of work. He did appear in four games for the Indians, but wound up allowing two runs in just 1.2 innings (10.80 ERA). He'll take a spin through waivers to determine where he lands for next season.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Recalled from Triple-A
The Indians recalled Crockett from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.
Over 48 relief innings for the Clippers, Crockett has impressed, with a 3.38 ERA, 9.2 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9. He won't be counted on for many high-leverage spots but has the strikeout ability to earn the occasional hold, especially if Cleveland wants to rest its major pieces with rosters expanded.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Optioned to minors
Crockett was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Crockett was sent back to the minors as part of a flurry of moves during Saturday's doubleheader with the Twins. Since Crockett represented the Tribe's most expendable reliever, he was optioned prior to Game 1 in order to open up a spot on the 25-man roster for pitcher Ryan Merritt, who started that contest. Merritt was then optioned to Triple-A after his start to clear a spot for third baseman Giovanny Urshela, who entered the lineup in the nightcap.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Recalled from Triple-A
Crockett was recalled by the Indians on Wednesday.
Crockett will come to the aid of a beleaguered Indians bullpen, which has used four or more relievers for each of the past three games. The 25-year-old lefty has performed well with Triple-A Columbus this season, posting a 1.85 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP over 24.1 innings in relief. Mike Clevinger, who was sent down in a corresponding move, will likely be recalled when Cleveland needs a fifth starter on June 17, so Crockett will have to truly impress if he wants to earn a long-term promotion.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Cruising along in minors
Crockett owns an impressive 2.04 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 15 appearances this season with Triple-A Columbus.
The 25-year-old failed to make the big-league club after appearing in 103 games for the Indians over the past three years. Crockett has posted a 3.25 ERA over 63.2 innings of MLB service, but space for a left-hander specialist in the organization's major-league bullpen simply isn't available right now.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Shipped to Triple-A
Crockett was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
After entering camp with little hope of making the Opening Day roster, Crockett put on a decent show during spring training and nearly made the cut. The left-hander appeared in a team-high 10 games this spring, managing a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 10 innings. Unfortunately for Crockett, the Indians don't need another southpaw in the bullpen, so his services won't be needed unless an injury or suspension occurs.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Dishes another dull effort Sunday
Crockett tossed a scoreless inning, allowing two hits and no walks while failing to record a strikeout in Sunday's matchup with the Padres.
Crockett entered camp as a big underdog to win a bullpen gig, but he hasn't done himself any favors this month. Over his last five Cactus League outings, the 25-year-old lefty has given up three runs on eight hits over five innings, while being charged with a blown save in Thursday's contest against the Angels. Barring an unforeseen circumstance, Crockett is unlikely to don an Indians jersey during the regular season.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Outside of 25-man roster headed into spring
Crockett's chances of making the Opening Day roster were lessened by the recent signing of Logan Boone, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
Crockett's rookie season didn't go well after he posted a 5.06 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 29 appearances for the Tribe last season. The signing of Boone now gives the team three viable southpaws in the bullpen behind Andrew Miller. Crockett, 25, will likely find himself at Triple-A Columbus to begin the 2017 campaign.

Indians' Kyle Crockett: Recalled Monday
The Indians recalled Crockett from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Crockett will rejoin the Indians after spending the last couple weeks in the minors. He has not had much success with the Indians this season, giving up nine earned runs in 14.1 innings (5.65 ERA) over 24 appearances, but he will provide the big club another left-handed option out of bullpen down the stretch.
