Phillies' Ryan Cordell: Signs minors deal with Phillies
Rotowire
Cordell joined the Phillies on a minor-league deal in late April, Baseball America reports.
Cordell has appeared in 121 games at the big-league level over the last three seasons but has done very little at the plate, hitting .202/.263/.328. The Phillies have a notable hole in center field this season, but nothing in Cordell's track record indicates he's the solution to their problems.

Mets' Ryan Cordell: Dropped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Cordell was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday.
Cordell played a very small role for the Mets this season, grabbing one hit in eight trips to the plate. As a 28-year-old with a career .202/.263/.328 slash line in 121 major-league games, he's unlikely to be anything other than a fringe player next season.

Mets' Ryan Cordell: Summoned to majors
Rotowire
Cordell was recalled to the majors Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Jake Marisnick (hamstring) was sent to the injured list in a corresponding move. Cordell should fill a reserve outfield role during his time with the big club. He hit .221/.290/.355 with seven homers across 247 plate appearances with the White Sox in 2019.

Mets' Ryan Cordell: Added to Mets' player pool
Rotowire
The Mets re-signed Cordell to a minor-league deal Monday and announced he would be included in the team's 60-man player pool.
Though the report implies that Cordell was released by the Mets at some point during MLB's hiatus, he was willing to rejoin the organization as part of its expanded roster. Cordell had inked a minor-league deal with the Mets in January after slashing .221/.290/.355 with seven home runs and three steals across 247 plate appearances with the White Sox in 2019.

Mets' Ryan Cordell: Looking good in camp
Rotowire
Cordell has made a good first impression on his new teammates in camp after being signed to a minor-league contract by the Mets in January, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. "He's showing a little bit of everything -- drop down a bunt, oppo home run, he threw a guy out, diving catch," said Michael Conforto. "He's done a little bit of everything."
The 27-year-old posted a meager .645 OPS in 97 games with the White Sox last season, but Cordell's well-rounded skill set and right-handed bat could make him a good fit on the bench for a team that will feature lefty-hitting starting outfielders in Conforto and Brandon Nimmo. The team already has Jake Marisnick to fill that role, however, and whether there's room for Cordell on the initial 26-man roster could depend more on the health of players like Yoenis Cespedes (ankle) and J.D. Davis (shoulder) than his own spring efforts.

Rotowire
Cordell signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday as a non-roster invitee, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

White Sox's Ryan Cordell: Starts in right field
Rotowire
Cordell made his second consecutive start in right field and went 1-for-2 with a double and run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.
With Leury Garcia (personal) away from the team, an outfield spot opens up, which has been filled by Cordell the last two days while the White Sox faced left-handed starters. Garcia is expected to miss Sunday's game in which the Angels are throwing a right-hander. Cordell probably will be replaced by Daniel Palka or Ryan Goins.

White Sox's Ryan Cordell: Gets call from Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Cordell from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of Thursday's game against the Mets.
He'll assume the active roster spot of third baseman Yoan Moncada, who was moved to the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. After turning in an uninspiring .234/.286/.354 slash line over 194 plate appearances with the big club earlier this season, Cordell will likely be limited to a reserve role in the outfield while he's up with Chicago.

White Sox's Ryan Cordell: Losing playing time
Rotowire
Cordell is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.
He'll be on the bench for a fourth time in six games as the White Sox roll out an outfield of Leury Garcia, Adam Engel and Jon Jay. Both of the right-handed-hitting Cordell's last two absences have come in games in which the White Sox have opposed lefty starting pitchers, a development that doesn't bode well for the 27-year-old's chances of settling back into even a short-side platoon role.

White Sox's Ryan Cordell: Not starting Friday
Rotowire
Cordell is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Tampa Bay.
Cordell started five of the first seven games out of the All-Star break and went 9-for-17, but he'll head to the bench in the series opener. Adam Engel was recalled from Triple-A to bolster the White Sox's outfield depth after Charlie Tilson's demotion, which could limit Cordell's playing time.

White Sox's Ryan Cordell: Draws start in right field
Rotowire
Cordell went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Royals.
Cordell has started three straight games and six of the seven since the All-Star break. The White Sox on Thursday optioned fellow outfielder Charlie Tilson to the minors, so it looks like Cordell will be the primary beneficiary of the Eloy Jimenez (elbow) injury. Chicago will make a corresponding transaction Friday, so there could be another outfielder called up, which could impact Cordell's playing time.
