The Orioles outrighted Stoudt to Double-A Bowie on Wednesday after he cleared waivers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Stoudt was moved off the 40-man roster last weekend, when the Orioles needed to clear spots for trade-deadline pickups Seranthony Dominguez and Cristian Pache. The 26-year-old right-hander was claimed off waivers from the Mariners on June 13 but hadn't seen any big-league action since joining the Orioles organization. Stoudt has produced a 4.63 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across his eight relief appearances with Bowie.

A 40-man roster move was required following Friday's trade with the Phillies which added Seranthony Dominguez and Cristian Pache to the roster.

Orioles' Levi Stoudt: Option transferred to Double-A
Rotowire
The Orioles transferred Stoudt's option from Triple-A Norfolk to Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
After being claimed off waivers by the O's earlier this week, Stoudt was initially assigned to the organization's top minor-league affiliate. However, the team has changed course, and he instead will jump down a level and attempt to get right at Double-A after posting ERAs north of 6.00 at Triple-A the past couple years.

Orioles' Levi Stoudt: Claimed by O's
Rotowire
The Orioles claimed Stoudt off waivers from Seattle on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
The Mariners DFA'd Stoudt on Sunday after he turned in a 6.92 ERA and 1.73 WHIP through 52 innings with their Triple-A affiliate. He'll now get another shot in Baltimore's farm system, and he will remain in Triple-A for now. Given his lack of recent success in the minors and a career 9.58 ERA in the majors, Stoudt would likely need to turn things around significantly before he gets a shot in Baltimore.

Mariners' Levi Stoudt: DFA'd by Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners designated Stoudt for assignment Sunday.
Stoudt was claimed off waivers by the Mariners in February after the Reds designated him for assignment. He has spent the entire season with Triple-A Tacoma and has struggled in his 12 outings, posting a 3-4 record with a 6.92 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 36:30 K:BB over 52 innings.

Mariners' Levi Stoudt: Demoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Stoudt was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma following Monday's exhibition against the Padres, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Stoudt's time in big-league camp will end on a sour note, as he surrendered two runs on three hits over one inning during Monday's 13-3 loss. He'll head to the minors following Monday's transaction, but the 26-year-old could eventually contribute for the Mariners later on in 2024.

Mariners' Levi Stoudt: Making solid case early
Rotowire
Stoudt, who was claimed off waivers by the Mariners from the Reds in mid-February, is making a case to enter the rotation mix at some point this coming season, Steve Stockmar of MLB.com reports.
Stoudt is in his second stint with the Mariners organization, having originally entered professional baseball as Seattle's third-round pick in the First-Year Player Draft back in 2019. He was eventually dealt to the Reds in 2022 and got his first taste of the big leagues with Cincinnati last season, pitching to a 0-1 record, 9.58 ERA and 2.32 WHIP across the 10.1 innings covering his four appearances (two starts). However, Stoudt was impressive in his Cactus League debut Tuesday, allowing a hit and recording two strikeouts over two scoreless innings versus the Guardians while hitting 97 mph with his fastball and also deploying his slider and splitter effectively. Manager Scott Servais is optimistic about Stoudt's chances of eventually contributing as a starter in 2024, noting the need to have more than just five rotation members over the course of a season and adding "I do think he helps us at some point this year."

Mariners' Levi Stoudt: Claimed by M's
Rotowire
The Mariners claimed Stoudt off waivers from Cincinnati on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Stoudt had been part of the trade package that sent Luis Castillo from Cincinnati to Seattle in 2022, and Stoudt will now reunite with the organization that drafted him. The 26-year-old righty struggled to find his footing in 2023, allowing 11 earned runs in 10.1 major-league innings while also putting up a 6.23 ERA across 82.1 frames in Triple-A. He'll presumably start the season with Triple-A Tacoma and would need to show significant progress from last year before getting another run in the big leagues. Canaan Smith-Njigba was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Exits 40-man roster
Rotowire
Stoudt was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Stoudt really struggled in 2023, posting a 6.23 ERA at Triple-A Louisville and a 9.58 ERA during his brief time with the Reds. The 26-year-old has been a prospect of some significance in the past, so perhaps he'll draw some interest on waivers.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Stoudt was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Stoudt has struggled mightily both in the majors and at Louisville this season, particularly from a control perspective. He would figure to slide back into Louisville's rotation.

Cincinnati recalled Stoudt from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Stoudt has been lit up for 11 earned runs in 10 innings of work this season at the major-league level, but he'll get another look in a long-relief role. Daniel Duarte was optioned out in a corresponding move.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Cincinnati optioned Stoudt to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Stoudt allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks over just three innings in a spot start Sunday versus Atlanta. The 25-year-old right-hander now carries a 9.90 ERA in 10 major-league innings (two starts, one relief appearance) for the season.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Struggles in short start
Rotowire
Stoudt allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Sunday.
Stoudt wasn't built up to a starter's workload, but it was a rough third inning that ended his spot start. He's struggled to a 9.90 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB through 10 big-league innings across three appearances (two starts) this season. Ben Lively (pectoral) is on the injured list, but it's unclear if Stoudt will continue to fill the vacancy in the Reds' rotation or if another pitcher will get a chance. If he gets another start, it's likely to be at home versus the Padres.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Called up for Sunday's start
Rotowire
Stoudt was recalled from Triple-A Louisville ahead of his start against Atlanta on Sunday.
The 25-year-old has given up eight earned runs across seven frames in his two starts for the Reds this year, but he'll receive another chance Sunday after Ben Lively (pectoral) landed on the injured list. Stoudt covered just 1.2 innings during his last start for Louisville and isn't fully built up after dealing with a rib injury, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, so Cincinnati also promoted reliever Randy Wynne for bullpen depth.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Will pitch Sunday vs. ATL
Rotowire
Stoudt will start Sunday against Atlanta, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Stoudt will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to pitch against Atlanta in the series finale. The right-hander has been ineffective in his two appearances with Cincinnati thus far in 2023 with a 10.29 ERA and 2.14 WHIP over seven innings. Stoudt could make multiple appearances for the Reds due to injuries, but there's as much risk as there is reward -- if not more -- in his profile for 2023.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Optioned to Triple-A

Cincinnati optioned Stoudt to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.
Stoudt gave the Reds three innings of one-run baseball Saturday. The right-hander will head back to Triple-A with Cincinnati calling up several fresh arms, but he could be back with the Reds as a starting option soon with Nick Lodolo (calf) heading to the 15-day injured list.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Recalled, available in relief
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Stoudt from Triple-A Louisville ahead of Saturday's game against the Marlins, and he'll be available out of the bullpen for the contest.
With Nick Lodolo (calf) scratched from his start and Stoudt scratched from his own outing in the minors, the latter appeared headed for a spot start with the big club Saturday. Instead,Derek Law will begin the game on the mound for Cincinnati, but there's a good chance Stoudt will handle the bulk of the innings after him.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Stoudt won't start Saturday's game against the Marlins, as Derek Law will get the nod as an opener instead, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Nick Lodolo was scratched from his scheduled start with a sore left calf, and Stoudt was scratched from his own Triple-A start Friday, so it looked as though Stoudt was about to get the nod for the big-league club. He could still serve as a bulk reliever behind Law, but he hasn't been officially added to the Reds' roster, so it's not yet clear whether that's on the table.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Could make spot start Saturday
Rotowire
Stoudt was scratched from his scheduled start Friday at Triple-A Louisville and could be recalled to make a spot start for the Reds on Saturday in Miami, Jim Day of Bally Sports Cincinnati reports.
According to Day, Stoudt was scratched Friday after it became apparent that Reds starter Nick Lodolo wouldn't be ready to take the hill Saturday for his turn through the rotation while he continues to deal with lingering calf/ankle soreness. Due to Stoudt's late scratch Friday along with the fact that Saturday's game in Miami begins at 1:10 p.m. ET, it's not immediately clear if he'll be able to secure travel arrangements and arrive at LoanDepot Park with enough time to complete a warmup. If Stoudt isn't formally activated for the start, the Reds could choose to treat Saturday's game as a bullpen day. Stoudt previously made his big-league debut back on April 19 versus the Rays, working four innings while allowing seven earned runs on nine hits and a walk.

Reds' Levi Stoudt: Moves to Triple-A

Stoudt was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Stoudt got knocked around in a spot start Wednesday versus the Rays, yielding seven earned runs on nine hits and one walk over four innings. Luke Weaver (forearm) has been activated off the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move and will jump into Cincinnati rotation Thursday against the Pirates.
