The reliever accepted a Triple-A assignment after clearing waivers, keeping him in Cleveland's organization.
The Guardians outrighted Connor Brogdon to Triple-A Columbus after he cleared waivers. The 31-year-old right-hander, who has seven years of big-league experience, accepted the assignment rather than elect free agency. Brogdon has appeared in 13 games for Cleveland this season with a 4.97 ERA and 12 strikeouts over 12.2 innings.
The move signals the reliever's role has shifted out of Cleveland's active bullpen for now. Brogdon retains the option to pursue another organization once his Columbus stint concludes, but staying within the Guardians system keeps him a call-up candidate if the relief depth chart thins.
