Brogdon cleared waivers Thursday and accepted his outright to Triple-A Columbus, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Brogdon is choosing to remain with the Guardians in Triple-A rather than test free agency. The Guardians signed the reliever to a one-year, $900,000 contract in December with hopes he could recapture his earlier career success.

Connor Brogdon: Breaking News
Cleared from 40-man roster
The Guardians designated Brogdon for assignment Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Brogdon had a 1.11 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB for the Guardians, but his ERA was a bloated 5.28 due to his usual home run issues as he's served up five in only 15.1 innings. He'll likely clear waivers, and if that happens the reliever would have the ability to become a free agent.
Picks up save Saturday
Brogdon earned a save against Seattle on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out two batters in one inning. Closer Cade Smith blew a save opportunity in the ninth frame, pushing the game into bonus time. Cleveland struck for three runs in the top of the 10th, and the Guardians chose to turn to Brogdon in the bottom of that frame. The right-hander made things interesting by serving up a two-run homer to Luke Raley, but Brogdon was able to convert the save by striking out the subsequent two batters he faced. Fantasy managers need not read into Brogdon's chance to close Saturday, as Smith isn't likely to move out of the closer role anytime soon.
