Orioles' Logan Schafer: Assigned to minor-league camp
The Orioles assigned Schafer to minor-league camp Sunday.
Schafer's long odds of making the Orioles' Opening Day roster have officially come to an end, but it looks like the non-roster invitee will remain with the organization. Expect him to open the season at Triple-A Norfolk as he awaits an opportunity for a big-league promotion.

Orioles' Logan Schafer: Spring batting average dwindling away
Schafer went 0-for-1 Monday against the Phillies, lowering his spring batting average to .045.
It's been a tough spring at the plate for the outfielder, who entered the game with one hit in 21 at-bats, and Monday made it worse. Schafer had a home run robbed from over the right field fence by Nick Williams for the final out of the eighth inning, and he stood at first base in disbelief for so long that he congratulated Williams as the latter made his way to the dugout. A non-roster invitee, Schafer has buried any chance he had of providing outfield depth to the big league roster. The 30-year-old's production has been so dismal this spring that Schafer would need a sensational performance in the minors to even be considered for a midsummer call-up.

Orioles' Logan Schafer: Receives invite to spring training
Schafer received a non-roster invite to spring training, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Schafer inked a minor league deal with Baltimore in December, but didn't get the invite until mid-January. The 30-year-old outfielder appeared in 26 games for Minnesota last season, slashing .238/.342 /.317 over 74 plate appearances. Schafer was a third round pick by Milwaukee in 2008 and spent the first five years of his career there, appearing in a career-high 134 games in 2013. The Baltimore outfield could use some depth, so with a strong showing this spring, Schafer may get on the radar for a mid-summer call-up.

Orioles' Logan Schafer: Signs minor league contract with Orioles
Schafer signed a minor league contract with the Orioles on Thursday, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo reports.
Schafer slashed .238/.342/.317 for the Twins over 74 plate appearances last season. He spent most of the season in Triple-A Rochester, where he posted a .264/.340/.361 slash line in 244 plate appearances. If he earns a call-up to the Orioles next season, he'll only be expected to provide added outfield depth.

Logan Schafer: Becomes free agent
Schafer became a free agent after declining his outright assignment to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Schafer spent 2016 splitting time between the majors and the minors, but couldn't stick with the Twins due to his hitting woes. That being said, Schafer does offer a bit of speed and a good propensity to draw walks, so he could land with a new club fairly soon. However, he doesn't project more than a Quad-A outfielder until his bat translates to the big leagues.

Twins' Logan Schafer: Outrighted to Triple-A on Monday
Schafer was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Despite posting decent results in the minor leagues, Schafer hasn't ever translated that success to the major leagues, leaving the Twins no choice but to boot him off the 40-man roster. The outfielder could reject the assignment and elect free agency, although he'll likely act as organizational depth no matter where he ends up.

Twins' Logan Schafer: Promoted to big leagues
Schafer's contract was purchased from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Schafer will provide the Twins with some depth in the outfield after Danny Santana suffered a shoulder sprain in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays that will require a DL stint. The 29-year-old Schafer offers a capable glove in the outfield, but he's made a minimal impact with the bat over 646 plate appearances at the major-league level, putting together a .212/.286/.319 batting line.

Nationals' Logan Schafer: Granted release
Schafer was granted his unconditional release from the Nationals on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN reports.
The 29-year-old outfielder was signed to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training this offseason, but after being reassigned to minor league camp earlier in the week, Schafer has elected free agency. He could latch on with a team looking to add outfield depth, but at this point his chances of earning a spot on an Opening Day roster appear to be slim. Schafer batted .200 with six strikeouts over 20 at-bats with the Nationals this spring.

Nationals' Logan Schafer: Reassigned to minor league camp Monday
Schafer was reassigned to minor league camp Monday.
Schafer does have some major league experience, but it was still a long shot for him to make the roster with plenty of other higher-upside options available. He'll likely slot in with Triple-A Syracuse for the bulk of the regular season.

Nationals' Logan Schafer: Signs minor league contract
Schafer signed a minor league deal with the Nationals that includes an invitation to spring training, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports.
Schafer appeared in 69 games for Milwaukee last season, recording a .221/.299/.311 slash line to go along with one home in 122 at-bats (he has hit just five homers in his major league career). The 29-year-old has never been known for his offensive, but he can play every outfield spot, making him a potentially useful bench player for Washington in 2016.
