Stults has passed through waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Double-A Tulsa on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports.

Stults was part of a six-player trade that sent Juan Uribe to the Braves and Alberto Callaspo back to the Dodgers, but was designated for assignment afterwards. He'll likely serve as organizational depth for the club.

Stults was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Stults was included in the six-player trade that sent Alberto Callaspo to Los Angeles and Juan Uribe to Atlanta, but it looks like Stults will merely serve as organizational depth with his new club. The veteran lefty was clobbered to the tune of a 5.85 ERA in 47.2 innings with the Braves this season.

Stults is headed to the Dodgers along with Alberto Callaspo, Ian Thomas, and Juan Jaime in a trade that sends Juan Uribe and Chris Withrow to the Braves, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.

After signing with the Braves during the offseason, Stults will head back to the team he broke into the major leagues with in 2006. His role with the Dodgers has yet to be revealed, but he figures to work either as the team's fifth starter or long reliever.

Stults (1-5) struggled mightily in his spot start Friday against the Brewers, allowing seven runs on three hits and five walks over 3.2 innings in an 11-0 blowout loss.

Filling in for Alex Wood (stomach virus), Stults struggled despite allowing only three hits; he let seven of his eight baserunners come around to score. Wood's stomach will likely be feeling better by the time his next start rolls around, so this was probably a one-and-done for Stults, who will return to a bullpen role.

Stults will make an impromptu start Friday against the Brewers.

Alex Wood has a stomach virus and was scratched hours before Friday's game and Stults was on hand to step into the rotation. Stults has a 5.36 ERA and just 25 strikeouts in 40.1 innings this season and is a very low end option among starting pitchers in daily leagues Friday.

Stults will not make his scheduled start next Wednesday, and be moved to a bullpen role.

It had been a long time coming for the 35-year-old Stults, who owns a 7.00 ERA through three starts in May. Until another rotation spot opens up for him, he can likely be dropped in most formats. Williams Perez will take over his rotation spot for the time being.

Stults (1-4) gave up five runs on six hits and a walk in five innings of work Wednesday in a road loss to Cincinnati.

He gave up runs in four of his five innings in this game -- a remarkable example of the wrong sort of consistency. This season has been a struggle for Stults, with the one good part of his pitching line -- just eight walks in 40.1 innings -- easily obscured by the nine homers and 24 runs he's given up. Stults sticks out as the Atlanta rotation member at greatest risk of being displaced by the potential recall of prospect Manny Banuelos.

Stults earned his first win of the season Monday, holding the Nationals to two runs in 6.1 innings.

Stults has now impressed in consecutive outings, allowing three runs over 12.1 innings. The lefty will now carry a 4.03 ERA into his weekend start against the Reds.

Stults delivered six strong innings Wednesday against the Mets, striking out five without a walk while allowing just a run on four hits, but he didn't receive a decision in the eventual loss.

The Braves' bullpen blew this one for the lefty, who'd put up unimpressive results in his first two starts of the year, but looked much better against a depleted Mets lineup (no David Wright, no Travis d'Arnaud, no Daniel Murphy). Nonetheless, he's not a high-end starting option next week against Washington.

Stults gave up four runs on five hits over five innings in a loss to Miami on Wednesday.

He's gone five innings in each of his first two starts for the Braves, fanning five and walking three over 10 innings while serving up three home runs. Stults is on track to take the ball Wednesday against the Mets at Citi Field for his next start.

Stults' contract was purchased by the Braves on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Stults was already in line to serve as the Braves' No. 4 starter to begin the year, so this move is merely procedural.

Stults will start the Braves' home opener, Apr. 10 against the Mets, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Wandy Rodriguez's released effectively cemented Stults into the rotation, but the team confirmed Friday that Stults will be the No. 4 starter to begin the season. Meanwhile, Trevor Cahill, whom the Braves acquired from the Diamondbacks on Thursday, will be in the bullpen until the team needs a fifth starter Apr. 15. Stults posted a 1.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB in 19 Grapefruit League innings.

Stults is projected to fill the Braves' final rotation spot to begin the season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

While the Brave haven't announced anything just yet, Stults appears to be a lock to break camp with a rotation spot, with Wandy Rodriguez released by the team Friday. Stults posted a 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in five Grapefruit League outings but struck out just seven in 19 innings, which isn't surprising considering he hasn't exceeded 6.0 K/9 since 2008. Last season, the lefty went 8-17 for the Padres with a 4.50 ERA and 1.34 WHIP away from Petco Park.

Stults has positioned himself as a favorite to fill one of the Braves' two open rotation spots, MLB.com reports.

Stults held the Tigers to just one hit over five scoreless innings Monday, lowering his spring ERA and WHIP to 1.89 and 1.11, respectively. Along with Stults, Wandy Rodriguez is the other top candidate to fill a rotation spot to begin the year, though there's a question as to whether the Braves want two similar lefties in the same rotation. The Braves have reportedly been talking to other clubs that have expressed interest in Rodriguez.

Stults was charged with two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk, striking out one over four innings, in his Grapefruit League appearances against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Now three appearance into the spring, Stults is sitting with a 2.00 ERA over nine innings, albeit with a 1.44 WHIP (11 hits allowed) and 2:2 K:BB. Mike Minor (shoulder) appears set to open the season on the DL, meaning there will be two open spots in the Braves' rotation to start the year. Stults and fellow lefty Wandy Rodriguez appear to be the frontrunners as of now, with both Mike Foltynewicz and Manny Banuelos struggling early on.

Stults signed a minor league contract with the Braves on Thursday that includes an invite to spring training, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Stults elected free agency from the Padres after being DFA'd in November, ending his two-year tenure with the club. The soft-tossing lefty was knocked around to the tune of a 4.30 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 176 innings last season, but he will provide some veteran security depth behind a young corps of starters in Atlanta.

Stults has elected to become a free agent, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Stults was designated for assignment, but elected to hit free agency rather than Triple-A El Paso. The 2014 campaign was the worst full season of his majors career, going 8-17 with a 4.30 ERA and a 1.375 WHIP. He'll likely be able to find a home on another major league roster, but at 35 by the start of the 2015 season, his best days may be behind him.

Stults was designated for assignment Monday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Sults was DFA'd as part of a number of Padres' roster moves Monday. He endured a disappointing 2014 campaign, racking up 17 losses and posting a 4.30 ERA. His hit, home run and walk rates each increased one season after going 11-13 with a 3.93 ERA.

Stults held the Rockies scoreless for 6.1 innings in a 1-0 win Monday, scattering seven hits with a walk and five strikeouts.

After carrying an ERA over 5.22 through July, Stults turned things around in the second half, sporting a 2.94 ERA over the past two months. The left-hander will end his season in San Francisco on Saturday.

Stults (7-17) gave up four runs on six hits with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Phillis.

Stults tied A.J. Burnett with a league-worst 17th loss. The left-hander is second-to-last among qualifying starters, coughing up 1.44 homers per nine innings. The Padres must have some young arms that could be gaining valuable experience rather than throwing Stults out there every fifth day.
