  • John Curtiss RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' John Curtiss: Outrighted to Reno

    Curtiss cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Curtiss finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP alongside a 24:5 K:BB across 36.2 innings. However, with the Diamondbacks aiming to clear roster space before free agency begins, the 32-year-old righty will lose his place on the 40-man roster. He will have the option to elect free agency.

  • Jose Alvarado RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Club option exercised

    The Phillies exercised Alvarado's (forearm) club option Wednesday.

    As expected, the Phillies have opted to pick up the $9.5 million club option on Alvarado for the 2026 season. He ended the 2025 campaign on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm strain, and he missed 80 games earlier in the season due to a PED suspension. Across the 28 appearances he made in 2025, Alvarado posted a 3.81 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and seven saves over 26 innings. He'll have the offseason to heal from his injury and will aim to be available for the start of spring training.

  • Freddy Tarnok RP | MIA

    Marlins' Freddy Tarnok: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Marlins outrighted Tarnok to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Tarnok has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to reject Wednesday's outright assignment and become a free agent. The right-hander pitched well during his limited chances in relief with the Marlins in 2025, allowing two runs on just one hit and a 10:4 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

  • Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Marlins outrighted Bellozo to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Bellozo will remain in the organization. The 25-year-old has been used as a swingman in Miami, posting a 4.20 ERA and 98:44 K:BB across 150 innings since the start of the 2024 campaign.

  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Activated, outrighted to Triple-A

    The Marlins activated Zuber (lat) from the 60-day injured list and outrighted him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Having previously been outrighted, Zuber has the option to elect free agency. The right-hander missed the final month of the regular season with a strained lat, but he should be fully recovered by spring training.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Marlins activated Tinoco (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and outrighted him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Tinoco has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to elect free agency. The right-handed reliever will be sidelined until 2027 after undergoing UCL surgery in September.

  • Jack Little RP | PIT

    Pirates' Jack Little: Placed on waivers

    The Pirates placed Little on outright waivers Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    The Pirates claimed Little off waivers from the Dodgers in August, but he never made an appearance for Pittsburgh. He posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 19.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis, however, which could be enough for another team to give the 27-year-old reliever a 40-man spot early in the offseason.

  • Mets' Brandon Waddell: Back with Mets

    The Mets re-signed Waddell to a one-year contract Tuesday.

    Waddell held a 3.45 ERA and 22:11 K:BB over 31.1 innings for the Mets in 2025. He was used primarily as a starter this season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he posted a 5.02 ERA and 63:25 K:BB in 75.1 innings. Waddell does not have minor-league options remaining, so he would have to be passed through waivers in order to be sent to the minors if he doesn't make the Opening Day roster.

  • Joey Gerber RP | NYM

    Mets' Joey Gerber: Traded to Mets

    The Mets acquired Gerber from the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Gerber was removed from the Rays' 40-man roster Monday and is now on the move to a new organization. The 28-year-old reliever spent most of the 2025 season at Triple-A Durham, where he posted a 6.23 ERA but struck out 54 over 43.1 innings.

  • Brooks Raley RP | NYM

    Mets' Brooks Raley: Option picked up

    The Mets exercised Raley's $4.75 million option for 2026 on Tuesday.

    Raley was sharp in the second half after making his way back from Tommy John surgery, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB over 25.2 innings. The 37-year-old reliever will handle a high-leverage relief role for the Mets in 2026.
