TYLER BEEDE NEWS

Receives MiLB deal Beede agreed to a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Beede secured a spot in Cleveland's Opening Day bullpen last spring but was off the 40-man roster by May after posting an 8.36 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over 14 innings in 13 appearances. He finished out the season with Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus and didn't fare any better (11.28 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB in 22.1 innings). On the heels of the poor season, Beede had remained unsigned since electing free agency in October, but the Twins will bring the 31-year-old right-hander aboard as organizational pitching depth. He's expected to report to Triple-A St. Paul once he's fully ramped up.

Seven Guardians combine on 2-hitter as Cleveland dumps Twins 3-1

Added to 40-man, active roster The Guardians selected Beede's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

Impact Cleveland opened up room for Beede on the 40-man roster by placing Trevor Stephan (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. The 30-year-old Beede is expected to work as a long reliever after striking out 12 while allowing six earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 13 innings during Cactus League play.

Nabs roster spot Beede was informed Friday he made the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander signed with Cleveland as a non-roster invitee in January and earned a roster spot by posting a 1.69 ERA with a 10:4 K:BB over 10.2 frames in spring training. Beede spent last season pitching in Japan and had a 4.08 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 75 innings. He still needs to be officially added to the club's 26-man and 40-man rosters.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Invited to Guardians camp Beede signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Saturday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Beede spent last season with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball, putting up a 4.08 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 75 innings. His ERA jumps up to 5.34 in 187 career innings as a major-leaguer, and Beede will most likely begin 2024 at Triple-A Columbus.

Becomes free agent Beede elected free agency Oct. 6.

Impact Beede found little success at the big-league level in 2022 between stints with the Giants and Pirates, submitting a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while striking out just 39 batters over 61.1 innings. Though Beede once had some pedigree as a prospect, he's set to turn 30 years old in May and doesn't have much of a track record at the big-league level to fall back on. With that in mind, Beede might have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency this winter.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Beede was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact After being designated for assignment by two different teams this season, Beede cleared waivers and will officially end his season in Triple-A. Beede pitched 61.1 innings in 2022 and finished with a 5.14 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Once the minor league season wraps up, he will look to make another run at joining the big-league bullpen in 2023.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in fourth start Beede (1-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over four innings in a 10-1 loss to the Reds. He struck out two.

Impact Beede allowed a two-run double from Austin Romine in the fourth followed by a two-run homer from outfielder Jake Fraley later that inning. The righty spent most of the season as a reliever before being given a chance as a starter on August 3. The 29-year-old has now made four straight starts and recorded a shaky 7.50 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 12 innings during that span.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another start coming Saturday Beede is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Reds at PNC Park, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Beede appeared on track to lose his spot in the rotation when Roansy Contreras was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Wednesday against the Red Sox, but the Pirates will at least temporarily keep a six-man rotation in place. Keeping Beede on hand as a sixth starter will allow the Pirates to build in more rest between starts for Contreras, and at least in the short term, it allows Mitch Keller to get more recovery time after he exited his previous start Tuesday with right shoulder fatigue. Since he had been pitching out of the bullpen before entering the rotation Aug. 8, Beede isn't yet built up to a traditional starter's workload and didn't reach the fifth inning in either of his prior two turns through the rotation.

Logan Webb stars as Giants beat slumping Pirates 2-0

AUGUST 14, 2022 • Associated Press

Loses to former team Beede (1-2) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three in three innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Giants.

Impact Beede worked up to 74 pitches, but he threw only 39 of them for strikes against his former team. A Joc Pederson RBI double in the first inning and LaMonte Wade's solo home run in the third accounted for the only runs in the game. Beede has given up six runs through eight innings across three starts in August. He owns a 3.72 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 30:23 K:BB in 48.1 innings between the Pirates and Giants this year. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a decent home start versus the Reds, though he's unlikely to contend for wins until he can consistently complete five frames since he's not being used behind an opener.

Turns in scoreless outing Beede allowed two hits and a walk over 3.2 shutout innings in Monday's loss to Arizona. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Impact It was a solid bounce back for Beede after he gave up four runs and was chased in the second inning in his last start against Milwaukee. The only extra-base hit he allowed was a two-out double by Christian Walker in the fourth inning. The 29-year-old lowered his season ERA to 3.57 with a 27:20 K:BB through 45.1 frames. As of now, Beede is projected to start in San Francisco this weekend.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Monday Beede is listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Monday's game in Arizona.

Impact Though Beede will be making his second straight turn through the rotation, the Pirates may be treating his start as another glorified bullpen day. The Pirates will likely allow Beede to progressively stretch out over his subsequent starts, but he probably can't be counted on to cover much more than three frames Monday after he threw 42 pitches and lasted just 1.1 innings (while giving up four earned runs) in his first start of the season last week versus the Brewers.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in first start Beede gave up four earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings in an 8-7 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Beede made his first start of the season after pitching well in a middle-relief role throughout the year. However, the experiment did not go as planned for the Pirates, and Beede was chased in the second inning after 42 pitches. It is unclear as to whether Beede will be given another opportunity to start or if manager Derek Shelton will hand the ball to someone else to replace the hole in the rotation left by Jose Quintana being shipped out at the trade deadline.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Beede will start Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The right-hander has worked exclusively out of the bullpen for the Giants and Pirates this year, but he'll step into the rotation Wednesday after Pittsburgh traded away Jose Quintana. Beede covered three innings during his last appearance Sunday, so he shouldn't be expected to have a full starting workload. It's unclear if Pittsburgh plans to keep him in the rotation or if he'll shift back to the bullpen after Wednesday's outing.
