Diamondbacks' Ryan Meisinger: Gets look with Arizona
Rotowire
Meisinger signed a minor-league deal with the Diamondbacks in March, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
Meisinger spent the 2021 campaign with the Cubs and Dodgers, though the majority of his appearances came at Triple-A. He did show strong skills at that level, punching out 62 batters across only 40.1 innings. If he maintains that form, it's possible that he contributes to the Arizona bullpen at some point during the regular season.

Dodgers' Ryan Meisinger: Heads to Dodgers on waiver claim
Rotowire
Meisinger was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers from the Cubs on Tuesday.
Meisinger was removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster Saturday after allowing 10 earned runs on 11 hits and five walks across 7.1 major-league innings. The right-hander is one of two Chicago relievers heading to Los Angeles, with Jake Jewell also being claimed by the Dodgers on Tuesday. Both Meisinger and Jewell have minor-league options, so it's possible one or both are assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, though each could be candidates to join the major-league club when rosters expand Wednesday.

Rotowire
The Cubs designated Meisinger for assignment Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
The righty has appeared in seven games since joining the Cubs on Aug. 12, posting a 12.27 ERA and 6:5 K:BB in 7.1 innings of relief. Considering his poor numbers, Meisinger should clear waivers without issue and be back with Triple-A Iowa in a couple days.

Cubs' Ryan Meisinger: Joins Cubs camp
Rotowire
Meisinger was added to the Cubs' player pool Thursday and will join the team's minor-league camp, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Meisinger joined the Cubs on a minor-league deal at the start of March. He owns a 5.70 ERA in 23.2 career innings at the major-league level, so it's unlikely he'll fill anything but a low-leverage role this season if he finds his way onto the active roster.
