MLB Player News

Brujan agreed to a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Saturday.

Brujan appeared in nine games for the Mets in 2026, going 1-for-11 with a walk, one RBI and four runs. He spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Syracuse, where he posted an .806 OPS with five homers and 16 steals in 65 contests. Brujan should serve as organizational depth for Atlanta and is likely to open 2027 at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Peralta exercised his $4.45 million player option for 2027 on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

It's the third straight offseason that Peralta has opted in for another year with San Diego. The lefty reliever tossed a career-high 77.1 innings over 65 appearances in the 2026 regular season, posting a 3.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB while notching three wins and five holds. Peralta should again be a key part of the Padres' bullpen in 2027, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll log frequent high-leverage work.

Knizner cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Knizner slashed .219/.288/.356 with two homers, four RBI and eight runs scored across 80 plate appearances in the majors this year while providing San Francisco with depth at catcher. He'll lose his place on the 40-man roster to begin the offseason but could have a chance to win it back during spring training.

Bagwell underwent right elbow surgery recently, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

The specifics of the procedure are unclear, but Crosby notes that Bagwell will likely miss the entirety of the 2027 season. Bagwell -- who turns 21 in February, posted a 3.17 ERA and 105:32 K:BB over 108 innings between Single-A Augusta and High-A Rome in 2026.

The Marlins exercised Alcantara's $21 million club option for 2027 on Friday.

Alcantara collected a 3.87 ERA and 153:59 K:BB over a league-high 214 innings this season. The 31-year-old is a tier below other frontline starting pitchers when it comes to swing-and-miss, but Alcantara has re-established himself as baseball's preeminent workhorse since coming back from Tommy John surgery. Alcantara is set to reach free agency next winter.

The Marlins outrighted Brzykcy to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Brzykcy has lost his spot as the Marlins do some 40-man roster maneuvering. He's been outrighted previously, so Brzykcy has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. The 27-year-old reliever holds a career 9.38 ERA over 34 appearances at the big-league level.

The Marlins outrighted Zuber to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Zuber underwent UCL surgery with an internal brace earlier this month and is not expected to pitch again until 2028. Since he's been outrighted before, Zuber can elect free agency.

The Marlins outrighted Driscoll to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Miami is doing some offseason 40-man roster housekeeping, and Driscoll has lost his spot. The 28-year-old catcher got a cup of coffee in the majors with the Rays in 2024, but he spent all of 2026 in the minors, collecting a .788 OPS.

The Marlins outrighted Gonzalez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

While no longer on the 40-man roster, Gonzalez will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The righty spent all of the 2026 season in the minors, posting a 6.05 ERA and 60:27 K:BB over 41.2 innings.

The Marlins outrighted Navarreto to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Having been outrighted previously, Navarreto has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. The 31-year-old catcher has a career .559 OPS in 42 games covering parts of three big-league seasons.
