Mariners' David Rollins: Signs minors deal with Mariners
Rollins signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Thursday, Josh Kirshenbaum of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Rollins had a brief stint in the majors for the Mariners in 2016, allowing eight runs over 9.1 innings. The 28-year-old last played affiliated baseball with Triple-A Iowa for the Cubs in 2017, but was released last August after compiling a 5.79 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 32 appearances.

David Rollins: Released by Cubs
The Cubs released Rollins (undisclosed) from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
The Cubs sent reliever Justin Grimm to Iowa and subsequently released the 27-year-old Rollins who is currently on the disabled list and has posted an uninspiring 5.79 ERA over 42 innings at Triple-A this season. He'll likely link up with another club's minor-league affiliate for the remainder of the 2017 campaign.

Cubs' David Rollins: Clears waivers Monday
Rollins cleared waivers Monday but will appear in big league camp during spring training, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
For the first time this offseason, the left-hander finally managed to slip through waivers. Rollins will still stick around in major league camp, but his lack of success in the major leagues will likely keep him in an organizational depth role for the time being.

Cubs' David Rollins: Designated for assignment
Rollins was designated for assignment on Wednesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
The move was to make room for Alec Mills, who the Cubs recently acquired in a trade with the Royals. It isn't too much of a surprise Rollins was the roster casualty, as he has already moved quite a few times on waivers, including being claimed by the Cubs earlier this offseason. Chicago will try to send him through waivers again, but wherever he ends up, he'll serve as organizational depth.

Cubs' David Rollins: Claimed by Cubs
Rollins was claimed by the Cubs on Friday, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.
Since Nov. 18, Rollins has moved on waivers from the Mariners to the Cubs to the Rangers to the Phillies back to the Rangers and now back to the Cubs. Chicago may once again attempt to send him through waivers to get him off the 40-man roster. He will offer organizational bullpen depth wherever he finally ends up when the 2017 season begins.

Rangers' David Rollins: Claimed by Rangers
Rollins was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Wednesday.
This marks the fourth time the left-hander has been claimed off waivers and the second time he'll be added to Texas' 40-man roster. Rollins will likely spend 2017 in an organizational depth role, although given the course of his offseason so far, it's anyone's guess as to where that will take place. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, Tyrell Jenkins was designated for assignment.

Phillies' David Rollins: Designated for assignment
Rollins was designated for assignment Wednesday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
Rollins was claimed off waivers by the Phillies earlier this month. The Phillies will hope he passes through waivers unclaimed so they can assign him to their Triple-A affiliate.

Phillies' David Rollins: Claimed by Philadelphia
Rollins was claimed off waivers by the Phillies on Friday.
This marks the third time Rollins has been claimed this offseason, as teams continually try to sneak him through waivers and place him in an organizational depth role. The left-hander hasn't been good in either of his major league stints, although he has a chance to stick on the Phillies' major league roster as a middle reliever given their lack of southpaws in the bullpen.

Rangers' David Rollins: Claimed by Rangers
Rollins was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Tuesday.
Rollins was just claimed by the Cubs last week, so apparently they attempted to sneak him through waivers to get him off the 40-man roster and the Rangers swooped in. His ERA in each of the past two seasons has been north of 7.50 and his strikeout totals are not impressive, so at best he will make the roster and serve in low-leverage situations.

Cubs' David Rollins: Headed to Cubs
Rollins was claimed off waivers by the Cubs on Friday.
The left-hander spent the bulk of 2016 at Triple-A, but his brief cup of coffee at the major league level was disastrous, as he was only able to muster a 7.71 ERA and 1.9 HR/9. That being said, the Cubs really don't have many lefties in their bullpen, so Rollins will likely be in contention for a big league roster spot as long as he can keep the ball in the park.

Mariners' David Rollins: Recalled from Triple-A
Rollins was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, MLB.com reports.
Rollins struggled during his nine appearances with the Mariners earlier this season, putting up a 7.04 ERA and 2.22 WHIP across 7.2 innings. Given his lack of prior success at the MLB level, Rollins will likely be limited to low-leverage duty out of the bullpen throughout September.

Mariners' David Rollins: Optioned down to Tacoma

Mariners' David Rollins: Recalled from Tacoma
Rollins was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Rollins was promoted in a corresponding move to Ketel Marte being placed on the 15-day DL with an illness. The 26-year-old southpaw has been bouncing between the Mariners and Tacoma all season and will slide back into a relief role with the club while he's there. Rollins has posted a 4.05 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 6.2 innings with Seattle this season.

Mariners' David Rollins: Optioned to Tacoma
Rollins was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
The Mariners made a series of moves Wednesday, including optioning Rollins, Jesus Sucre and Daniel Robertson to Triple-A. Rollins was a solid bullpen option in limited action (4.05 ERA, 6.2 innings), but he's found more success at the Triple-A level, where he holds a 2.05 ERA and 0.72 WHIP on the year.

Mariners' David Rollins: Recalled by Mariners
Rollins was recalled by the Mariners on Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Rollins has pitched well in his 34.2 innings between Triple-A and the majors this season. After being demoted on Tuesday, Rollins was recalled as Taijuan Walker (foot) was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Rollins will slot back in to the bullpen as it looks like Mike Montgomery will start Sunday in Kansas City.

Mariners' David Rollins: Optioned to Triple-A
Rollins was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
The M's added some bench depth with Shawn O'Malley (foot) banged up, promoting Dan Robertson and sending Rollins back to Tacoma. Rollins made three scoreless appearances during his most recent stint with the big club, but he did walk three over 2.2 innings. He's issued just one walk in 30.2 innings with Tacoma this season and figures to get another chance before too long.

Mariners' David Rollins: Recalled from Triple-A Tacoma
Rollins was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
The Seattle bullpen was taxed Thursday after Adrian Sampson suffered an injury during pregame warmups, and Rollins and Donn Roach were brought up as reinforcements. Rollins has posted a 2.05 ERA and 0.72 WHIP in 24 appearances with Triple-A Tacoma but figures to work primarily in the middle innings.

Mariners' David Rollins: Officially optioned to Tacoma
Rollins was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
The move was announced Friday night, but the Mariners have now made it official, as Rollins heads down to Tacoma to clear room on the 25-man roster for Adrian Sampson, who will make his MLB debut Saturday. Rollins is a candidate to return to the Mariners at some point later in the summer, but he's unlikely to provide much more than spot duty as a middle reliever.
