Reverts to IL Atlanta reversed Ford's option to Triple-A Gwinnett and placed him on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained neck.
Impact Since Ford was already moved off the 26-man active roster in the wake of Atlanta acquiring Robbie Grossman from the Tigers on Monday, the change in the transaction type won't dramatically change Ford's timeline for rejoining the big club, provided his strained neck isn't anything more than a short-term concern. Even before the injury surfaced, Ford was having a tough time finding at-bats off the Atlanta bench, as he appeared in just one game during his week-long stay on the active roster.

Sent to Triple-A Ford was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ford appeared in only game after being recalled from Gwinnett on July 24, and he was sent back there to open up a roster spot for trade acquisition Robbie Grossman. Atlanta will be left with only one true first baseman at the big-league level, so Ford could be summoned again if the team decides it needs another player at that position.

Impact Ford will join the big club for the first time after he had spent the past week and a half at Triple-A when Atlanta claimed him off waivers from Seattle earlier this month.

Braves claim former Yankees 1B Ford off waivers from Seattle
The Atlanta Braves have claimed first baseman Mike Ford off waivers from the Seattle MarinersJUNE 10, 2022 • Associated Press
Claimed by Braves Ford was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Ford was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Saturday, but he will now join Atlanta's organization and report to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 29-year-old has produced a .182 average with a double, five RBI and a run scored over 33 at-bats in 17 games with the Mariners and Giants this season. Atlanta DFA'd Joe Dunand on Friday to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Ford.

DFA'd Saturday Ford was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ford came into Saturday having only started one of the past six games and he was ultimately designated for assignment after the Mariners acquired Ryan Borucki from the Blue Jays via trade.

Ford owns a .188 average with a double, five RBI and a run scored over 32 at-bats in 16 games with the Mariners and Giants this season.

Losing work with Kyle Lewis healthy Ford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact With Kyle Lewis (knee) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and serving as Seattle's designated hitter, Ford's time as a regular in the Mariners lineup looks to be over. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third game in a row.
MAY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Thursday Ford is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact The lefty-hitting Ford has served as Seattle's primary designated hitter since he was reacquired from the Giants last week, but he'll take a seat with southpaw Rich Hill on the mound for Boston. Ford is expected to lose out on steady at-bats against right-handers as soon as next week, when outfielder/DH Kyle Lewis (knee) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list.
MAY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sits after three straight starts Ford is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact The lefty-hitting Ford will check out of the lineup with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the mound, opening up designated-hitter duties for Steven Souza. Ford was an indirect beneficiary of Jarred Kelenic's demotion to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, as the former has proceeded to serve as Seattle's DH in each of the last three games while going 1-for-8 with a walk and two RBI. Once Kyle Lewis (knee) ends his rehab assignment at Tacoma and is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list, one of Ford and Souza will likely lose out on regular at-bats.

On active roster, starting Friday Ford will bat seventh as the designated hitter Friday against the Mets after being added to the Mariners' active roster, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Ford was claimed off waivers from the Giants on Thursday and will quickly enter the lineup for the Mariners. The 29-year-old spent six games on Seattle's roster earlier this season but didn't see the field before being designated for assignment and shipped to San Francisco.
MAY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Ford was designated for assignment Wednesday and will now head back to Seattle, which traded him to San Francisco in late April. He appeared in only one game with the Giants and went 1-for-4 with two RBI.
MAY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Moved off 40-man roster The Giants designated Ford for assignment Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ford was dropped from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for infielder Donovan Walton, whom the Giants acquired from the Mariners in a trade Wednesday. If the 29-year-old isn't dealt elsewhere and passes through waivers without being claimed, he'll likely stick around in the Giants organization at Triple-A Sacramento.
MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Demoted to Triple-A Ford was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Impact Ford was acquired by the Giants from the Mariners on Saturday and went 1-for-4 with two RBI during the lone appearance with his new team. Kevin Padlo was recalled from Sacramento in a corresponding move.
