Faria was released by the Red Sox on Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Faria has allowed five earned runs in just two innings of work this season at the major-league level and was sporting an ugly 6.38 ERA in 60.2 innings at Triple-A Worcester. He inked a minor-league contract with Boston in February and will now head back to the open market.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Boston outrighted Faria to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday after he cleared waivers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
The veteran right-hander will remain in the organization after he was recently added to the 40-man roster and then designated for assignment just over 24 hours following his promotion from Worcester. Faria made his lone appearance out of the Boston bullpen in Sunday's win over the Cubs, covering two innings and allowing five earned runs on four hits and four walks.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Rocky debut in mop-up outing
Rotowire
Faria allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over two innings in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Cubs.
Faria, who had his contract selected Sunday, made his debut in a Red Sox uniform. Boston manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com that the right-hander's role will be to go multiple innings. His debut came in a mop-up situation, with the Red Sox up 11-0 entering the eighth inning. It didn't go very well for Faria, who walked the first four batters and threw fewer than half of his pitches for strikes. With a couple of bullpen starts expected Monday and Tuesday, Faria's job was to get the Red Sox out of Dodge without having to expend either Nick Pivetta or Chris Murphy, both of whom are expected to throw multiple innings the next two days.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
The Red Sox will select Faria's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Tayler Scott was designated for assignment, and Faria will join the team to provide a fresh arm, three months to the day after he was selected for his first stint with the Red Sox. He didn't end up making an appearance the first time around, spending just a single day on the 40-man roster, and Faria's numbers at Triple-A this season (6.63 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) suggest he will have a difficult time sticking around for the long haul.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Cast off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Red Sox designated Faria for assignment Monday.
Faria didn't have any minor-league options remaining, so Boston had to remove him from the 40-man roster entirely to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Brayan Bello (forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Angels. After getting called up from Worcester on Sunday, Faria went unused out of the bullpen in Boston's 2-1 win over the Angels.

Red Sox's Jake Faria: Invited to spring training
Rotowire
Faria received an invitation to MLB spring training Wednesday,
Faria was signed to a minor-league contract Feb. 4 by the Red Sox, and he has accumulated 203 major-league innings with a 4.70 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in that timeframe. The right-hander struggled to a 7.48 ERA for Triple-A St. Paul over 12 appearances -- nine of them starts -- while a member of the Twins' organization, and even with the invitation, he's likely ticketed for Triple-A Worcester to begin the 2023 campaign.

Twins' Jake Faria: Going to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Twins reassigned Faria to minor-league camp Sunday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
He'll open the season at Triple-A St. Paul after his bid for a spot in the Twins' Opening Day bullpen fell short.

Twins' Jake Faria: Joins Twins on MiLB deal
Rotowire
Faria agreed to a minor-league contract with Minnesota on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Faria elected free agency after being outrighted off Arizona's 40-man roster in September, but he'll receive a big-league look in spring training for 2022. The 23-year-old made 23 appearances (three starts) for the Diamondbacks in 2021 and posted a 5.51 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 32:13 K:BB across 32.2 innings.

Jake Faria: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Faria elected free agency after he was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
Faria posted a 5.51 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 32.2 innings across 23 appearances (three starts) for the Diamondbacks this year, but he was designated for assignment Sunday. He went unclaimed on waivers and will be free to seek out other opportunities rather than remaining in the Diamondbacks' organization.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: DFA'd Sunday
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks designated Faria for assignment on Sunday.
The righty has allowed multiple runs in two of his last three appearances and now has a 5.51 ERA in 32.2 total innings with Arizona this season. Faria hasn't enjoyed much success since 2017, so he's unlikely to draw a ton of interest on waivers over the next couple days.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Surrenders four runs in four frames
Rotowire
Faria got a no-decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to San Francisco, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts.
Faria's previous start earned him another turn in the rotation, and while he didn't pitch well Saturday, he did enough to keep the Diamondbacks in the game. Arizona has lost all five of the games in which Faria has made an appearance, though this was his worst outing to date.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Earns another start
Rotowire
Faria will start Saturday's game against the Giants, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Faria made his first start of the year Monday and allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out three in four innings, but he didn't factor into the decision against the Cardinals. The right-hander has posted a 3.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in eight innings across four appearances (three starts) this year, and he'll get another turn through the rotation following his solid start.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Four innings in no-decision
Rotowire
Faria started Monday's 7-1 loss to St. Louis, allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts in four innings. He didn't factor into the decision.
Making his first start since 2018, Faria gave the D-backs a fighting chance in this one as he only allowed one run and three baserunners in four innings. The bullpen eventually surrendered six runs in the seventh to blow the game, but the solid performance might earn Faria another turn through the rotation.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Getting starting chance
Rotowire
Arizona lists Faria as its probable starting pitcher for Monday's game in St. Louis.
After signing with Arizona on June 19, Faria made his first three appearances for the big club out of the bullpen, giving up three runs (two earned) across four innings. Since he maxed out at 45 pitches across those three outings and most recently pitched an inning of relief Friday, Faria will likely face a limited workload in his first start for the Diamondbacks. He'll be joining the rotation as a replacement for Corbin Martin, who was recently optioned to Triple-A Reno.

Diamondbacks' Jake Faria: Signs big-league deal with Arizona
Rotowire
Faria signed a major-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Faria didn't have to wait long to find a new employer after getting released by the Angels on Wednesday. The 27-year-old righty owns a respectable 4.54 ERA in 170.1 career major-league innings, but that's mainly due to a 3.43 ERA in his rookie year back in 2017. His ERA sits at 5.70 since the start of the 2018 season, but the Diamondbacks appear primed to give him big-league innings nonetheless. Ildemaro Vargas was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Angels' Jake Faria: Inks minor-league deal
Rotowire
Faria signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Sunday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Faria began the 2020 season at the Brewers' alternate training site before being released by the team in September. He wasn't very effective in Milwaukee after being traded from the Rays, but the right-hander could compete for a spot on the major-league roster at some point in 2021. It's unclear whether he'll serve as a non-roster invitee during spring training.

Brewers' Jake Faria: Gets spot in 60-man pool
Rotowire
The Brewers included Faria as part of their initial 60-man roster pool released Monday.
Faria failed to distinguish himself at the big-league level between stops with the Rays and Brewers in 2019, giving up 14 runs on 28 hits and 12 walks while striking out 19 over 18.2 innings. He was bumped off the 40-man roster in January and cleared waivers, but the expanded roster pool for 2020 may allow Faria to see work for the big club. Even if that's the case, Faria likely won't be entrusted with anything but low-leverage work in his initial opportunities with Milwaukee.
