Quezada is dealing with a lat injury and was placed on the minor-league injured list Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quezada has begun a throwing program but will be unavailable to begin the Triple-A season. The Cardinals have said that the right-hander is still several weeks away from having a timetable for his return to game action. Quezada made three major-league appearances in 2020 and posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in three innings.

Quezada was optioned to minor-league camp by the Cardinals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was traded from the Phillies to the Cardinals in February but was unable to make the Opening Day roster with his new team. Quezada made his big-league debut with the Marlins in 2020 and allowed three runs on four hits with two strikeouts and one walk over three innings.

Quezada was traded from the Phillies to the Cardinals on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quezada was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia at the end of October, but he'll now join the Cardinals ahead of spring training. The right-hander hadn't pitched above the High-A level prior to making his major-league debut in 2020. Over three relief appearances for the Marlins, Quezada allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings. If he makes the big-league roster with St. Louis, he should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations.

Quezada was claimed off waivers by the Phillies on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies' bullpen had one of the worst seasons of all time in 2020, posting a 7.06 ERA as a unit. Quezada could presumably help his new team, though he hadn't pitched above High-A prior to this season and threw just three innings for the Marlins this year, so he shouldn't be expected to fill a significant role any time soon.

Quezada was optioned to the alternate training site Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old had his contract selected by Miami last week and will return to the alternate site after his first taste of major-league action. Quezada threw two scoreless frames in his first two outings, but in his third appearance he gave up three runs on four hits.

Quezada had his contract selected by the Marlins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old will provide some bullpen depth for the Marlins for the final few weeks of the season. Quezada finished 2019 at High-A and had a 3.44 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 49:28 K:BB over 52.1 innings while in the Twins' organization.
