Logue signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The past two seasons have been rough for Logue. He holds a 6.88 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 68 innings since 2022, and his numbers got even worse at Triple-A (7.30 ERA, 1.86 WHIP). Barring a major turnaround in the minors, it's unlikely Logue makes any significant contribution to the major-league club.

Zach Logue: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Logue elected to become a free agent Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Logue, 27, made only three major-league appearances with the Tigers this season and posted an ugly 6.58 ERA and 85:44 K:BB over 90.1 innings for Triple-A Toledo. The left-hander will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract on the open market.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Clears waivers
Rotowire
The Tigers outrighted Logue to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Logue was moved off the Tigers' 40-man roster earlier this week, but he'll stick around the organization after clearing waivers. The 27-year-old lefty has spent the majority of the season at Toledo, where he's compiled a 6.22 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 63.2 innings.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Exits 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Tigers designated Logue for assignment Monday.
Logue has appeared in only three games in the majors this season and gave up a combined nine earned runs in his last two outings. He was optioned to Triple-A on July 27 and is expected to remain with Toledo if he clears waivers. He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to infielder Isan Diaz, who was claimed off waivers from the Giants.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Headed back to Toledo
Rotowire
Logue was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
Logue has pitched primarily with Toledo this season, though he has made three appearances with the big-league club in July. He threw four innings in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels, allowing three earned runs on six hits while striking out five. Logue should be back in the majors at some point prior to the close of the campaign.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Logue from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Logue will join Detroit's 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Alex Faedo, who was sent back to Toledo following a spot start in Sunday's win over the Padres. During his upcoming stint with the Tigers, Logue is expected to serve as a multi-inning relief option, with most of his usage likely to come in lower-leverage scenarios.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Detroit optioned Logue to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Logue has surrendered six earned runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings of relief this season in the majors. Alex Faedo (finger) will be activated from the injured list Friday as the Tigers' corresponding roster move.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Allows six runs Wednesday
Rotowire
Logue allowed six runs on six hits across 3.2 innings of relief in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics. He walked one and struck out three.
With Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) making his first start since May 28 and only covering four innings, the Tigers needed some length from Logue, and they let the lefty take some lumps. This was just his second appearance of the season, and he looked better in his debut Saturday when he tossed 3.1 scoreless innings. Logue may get additional chances to impress, but he seems like bullpen depth at this point and not really someone to consider in fantasy.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Covers 3.1 innings Saturday
Rotowire
Logue allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over 3.1 scoreless innings versus the Rockies on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision in the 4-2 extra-inning win.
Logue was selected from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, and this was his first big-league appearance of the season. He held his own in a tough assignment in Colorado, pitching well enough to keep the Tigers close in the contest. With Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) set to return Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, the Tigers are unlikely to have a need for another bullpen game before the All-Star break if Reese Olson (knee) is also good to go. As such, Logue may be one of the players sent back to the minors in corresponding moves when Detroit gets pitchers back from the injured list.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Joins big-league roster
Rotowire
The Tigers selected Logue's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Logue was removed from the 40-man roster over the offseason but has gotten the spot back even after collecting a 5.92 ERA across 15 appearances (13 starts) with Toledo. Presumably, he'll be in line for long-relief duty.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Logue cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Logue was designated for assignment Dec. 31 shortly after Detroit claimed him off waivers, and he'll remain in the organization for the time being. The 26-year-old appeared in 14 games (10 starts) for the A's in 2022 and had a 6.79 ERA across 57 innings.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Logue was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Saturday.
Logue's stay on Detroit's 40-man roster lasted just over a week -- he was claimed off waivers from Oakland on Dec. 23. The lefty will return to waiver purgatory to begin the new year as he makes way for Tyler Nevin. Logue finished with a 6.79 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 14 appearances (10 starts) for the A's last season.

Tigers' Zach Logue: Claimed off waivers
Rotowire
Logue was claimed off waivers by the Tigers on Friday.
Logue was knocked around in 2022 to the tune of a 6.79 ERA with the Athletics and an 8.12 ERA at Triple-A Las Vegas. The southpaw put up some pretty good numbers in the minors prior to that, though, so the Tigers will hope he can rebound.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Logue was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Wednesday.
Logue made his major-league debut in 2022 and posted a 6.79 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 57 innings over 14 appearances (10 starts) with the Athletics. He was sent down in September and will be cast off the 40-man roster after Oakland signed Drew Rucinski.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Logue was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Logue has split his time between MLB and Triple-A ball this season with limited success coming at both levels. He will leave the Athletics' bullpen -- where he has a 6.79 ERA -- and perhaps finish the season in Las Vegas, where he has a 6.29 ERA. Domingo Tapia was recalled Friday in a corresponding move.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Impressive in relief Wednesday
Rotowire
Logue, whose move to the bullpen was announced Sunday, fired 2.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and a walk while recording a strikeout in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.
The right-hander commemorated his new relief role with an impressive outing that saw him fire 27 of his 43 pitches for strikes and induce a whopping 13 foul balls. Logue had his share of ups and downs across his 10 starts, but he could find his groove in a middle-relief, innings-eating role in the final month-plus of the regular season.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Moves to bullpen
Rotowire
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Saturday that Logue has been moved to the bullpen, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Logue had been lined up to start Sunday's game against the Yankees, but Adrian Martinez was instead recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace him in the rotation. The rookie lefty turned in poor results in his three starts since his Aug. 13 call-up from Las Vegas, going 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 15 innings. He'll likely work as a multi-inning option as he heads to the bullpen.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Strikes out seven in loss
Rotowire
Logue (3-8) took the loss Tuesday versus the Marlins. He allowed two runs on three hits and struck out seven across 5.1 innings without walking a batter.
Logue surrendered a solo shot to Brian Anderson in the fourth inning and ran into more trouble in the sixth. On the bright side, the seven strikeouts were a season high, and he avoided issuing a walk for the second time in 11 appearances (10 starts). The 26-year-old has a 6.04 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB through 50.2 innings this year. He's projected for a tougher home start versus the Yankees this weekend.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Struggles in blowout loss
Rotowire
Logue (3-7) took the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Rangers. He struck out two.
Logue made a second consecutive start in place of Adrian Martinez, who was demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas last week, but he struggled once again. Over his last two starts, the left-hander has surrendered 14 hits, 13 earned runs and five walks across 9.2 innings. It's unclear if he'll get another shot in the rotation.

Athletics' Zach Logue: Draws another start
Rotowire
Logue is slated to start Thursday's game against the Rangers in Arlington.
He'll be making his second straight turn through the Oakland rotation after the Athletics demoted their previous fifth starter, Adrian Martinez, to Triple-A Las Vegas last week. Logue likely won't have a long leash with the big club, however, especially after he served up six earned runs over 5.1 innings in a loss to Houston his last time out Aug. 13. Another poor showing against the Rangers would likely put Logue at risk of a demotion.
