Dodgers' Zack Burdi: Designated for assignment
The Dodgers designated Burdi for assignment Thursday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Less than a week after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay, Burdi will be the Dodgers' roster casualty after the team traded for Ricky Vanasco on Thursday. The 28-year-old Burdi holds a 8.44 ERA during his major-league career and will likely have to improve upon his 4.91 ERA in Triple-A this season before he gets another shot in the bigs.

Burdi was designated for assignment by Tampa Bay this past Wednesday after yielding six runs -- five earned -- over four innings of relief. He holds a career 8.44 ERA at the MLB level, but maybe the Dodgers can work some of their magic on the 28-year-old right-hander.

Dodgers' Zack Burdi: Optioned following waiver claim
Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City after being claimed off waivers from the Rays on Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
The Rays deemed Burdi no longer worthy of a 40-man roster spot, but the Dodgers will keep him around in that role, albeit not as part of the active roster. The oft-injured righty owns a career 8.44 ERA in 21.1 innings at the major-league level after giving up six runs (five earned) in his four innings with Tampa Bay.

Rays' Zack Burdi: Removed from 40-man roster
Tampa Bay designated Burdi for assignment Wednesday, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.
Burdi was lit up for six runs -- five earned -- in Tuesday's 20-1 loss to the Blue Jays. The transaction removes the right-hander from both the 40-man roster and the 26-man active roster to make room for reliever Ben Heller, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday. If Burdi goes unclaimed or isn't traded, he'll likely report back to Triple-A to provide bullpen depth for the Rays for the rest of 2023.

Rays' Zack Burdi: Removed from 40-man roster
Tampa Bay designated Burdi for assignment Wednesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Chase Anderson, whom Tampa Bay acquired in a trade with Cincinnati earlier Wednesday. Burdi didn't allow a run in his two appearances with the Rays before being optioned back to Triple-A Durham last week. He'll stick around at Durham unless another team puts in a waiver claim for him.

Rays' Zack Burdi: Optioned to Triple-A
Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Burdi threw a total of three innings over two appearances the last two days and didn't allow a run. Unfortunately, it also meant he probably wouldn't be available for at least a day or two and that might have cost him a roster spot. Burdi figures to be back in the majors down the road when the Rays need bullpen reinforcements again.

Rays' Zack Burdi: Gets opportunity with Tampa Bay
Burdi agreed Wednesday with the Rays on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to MLB spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Once seen as a potential bullpen ace while he was a prospect in the White Sox system, Burdi has beset by numerous injuries in recent years and would do well just to resurface in the majors in a low-leverage role in 2023. The 27-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2021 and wasn't especially effective over his 13 innings with two of the Nationals' lower-level minor-league affiliates last season, posting a 1.38 ERA but issuing 10 walks.

Nationals' Zack Burdi: Activated, headed to High-A
Triple-A Rochester reinstated Burdi (undisclosed) from its injured list Tuesday and assigned him to High-A Wilmington.
After signing a minor-league deal with the Nationals in April, Burdi was placed on the IL and didn't appear with an affiliate until Aug. 5, when he began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. He made two appearances in the FCL before settling with Wilmington last week. In his first two outings at the High-A level, Burdi struck out three over three scoreless frames. If he continues to perform well at Wilmington, a promotion to one of the Nationals' two higher-level affiliates could be in the cards before the end of the season.
