Jewell was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
Jewell was designated for assignment Wednesday. The 29-year-old, who owns a career 7.75 ERA in 38.1 major-league innings, unsurprisingly passed through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain as organizational depth for the Twins for now.

Rotowire
The Twins designated Jewell for assignment Wednesday.
He was moved off the 40-man roster to clear room for rookie right-hander Louie Varland, whose contract was selected from Triple-A St. Paul in advance of his scheduled start in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Yankees.

Rotowire
Jewell was claimed off waivers by the Twins on Wednesday, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Jewell was designated for assignment by Cleveland on Monday but was able to land a 40-man roster spot with the Twins a few days later.

Guardians' Jake Jewell: Dropped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Jewell was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Jewell had his contract selected by Cleveland on Aug. 6, but he will now either report to Triple-A, get claimed by another team or be released outright. The right-hander failed to enter a game while with the big-league club, last pitching in the majors with the Cubs in 2021.
Guardians' Jake Jewell: Contract selected by Guardians
Rotowire
Jewell's contract was selected by Cleveland on Saturday.
Jewell joined the Guardians on a minor-league deal in March and will get his chance with the big-league club after cruising to a 2.63 ERA in 41 innings of relief for Triple-A Columbus. He hasn't had nearly that same level of success in 38.1 career major-league innings, struggling to a 7.75 ERA, though his 41.9 percent HR/FB rate suggests that he's been the victim of some bad luck.

After missing out on a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen, Jewell is expected to report to Triple-A Columbus and spend the majority of the season with the affiliate. The 28-year-old righty reliever made 10 appearances out of the Cubs' bullpen in 2021, giving up 11 earned runs on 18 hits and five walks over 10 innings.

Rotowire
Jewell signed a minor-league deal with the Guardians in March, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
Jewell spent the majority of the 2021 season at Triple-A, split among three organizations. However, he was in the majors for 10 innings as a Cub and posted a disastrous 9.90 ERA with a 2.30 WHIP. Jewell is not likely to be more than organizational depth in Cleveland.

Rotowire
Jewell was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Dodgers' Jake Jewell: Claimed by Dodgers
Rotowire
Jewell was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers from the Cubs on Tuesday.
Jewell was DFA'd by Chicago after allowing 11 earned runs across 10 major-league innings. The right-hander has had a strong year at Triple-A Iowa, however, posting a 2.78 ERA and 35:13 K:BB in 32.1 innings of work. He'll be added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster along with fellow reliever Ryan Meisinger, who also moves from the Cubs to Los Angeles in a waiver claim. It's not clear where Jewell will report, but he could be an option to join the big-league club when rosters expand to 28 on Wednesday.

Cubs' Jake Jewell: DFA'd Saturday
Rotowire
The Cubs designated Jewell for assignment Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Jewell has appeared in 10 games for the Cubs this season, most recently Wednesday when he allowed four runs (three earned) in one inning of relief. His 9.90 ERA in 10 big-league innings is unlikely to draw much interest on waivers, so the righty will likely be back with Triple-A Iowa in a couple days.

Cubs' Jake Jewell: Added as 27th man
Rotowire
Jewell was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 27th man for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Having posted an 8.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP in nine innings with the Cubs this season, Jewell figures to pitch in nothing but a low-leverage relief situation, if at all. He'll likely return to the minors following Wednesday's nightcap.

Rotowire
Jewell was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Jewell spent nearly a month in the Cubs' bullpen, but he didn't fare particularly well as a low-leverage reliever. The righty posted an 8.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP in nine innings across nine relief appearances and will attempt to sort things out in the minors after right-hander Keegan Thompson was recalled by the Cubs on Saturday.

Jewell was claimed off waivers by the Angels in November but passed through unclaimed this time around. With a career 6.99 ERA in 28.1 big-league innings, he's not likely to make a significant impact this season if he returns to the 40-man roster.
