The Red Sox non-tendered Winckowski (elbow) on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Winckowski was pushed off Boston's 40-man roster Tuesday and will now exit the organization altogether after not receiving a contract offer for 2026. The 27-year-old allowed five earned runs in 11.2 innings with the Red Sox in April before being sent down to Triple-A, where he ended the season on the injured list after suffering an elbow strain in mid-May. It's unclear whether he'll be ready for the start of spring training.

The Red Sox designated Winckowski (elbow) for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. The move frees up a spot on Boston's 40-man roster. Winckowski made just six appearances for the Red Sox in 2025, as he spent time in the minors and also missed a large chunk of action with a flexor strain. It's unclear what Winckowski's current health status is. The 27-year-old has a career 4.20 ERA and 195:89 K:BB across 242.1 innings.

Winckowski (elbow) is in the early stages of a throwing progression at the Red Sox' spring training complex in Florida, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Winkowski suffered a right flexor strain at Triple-A Worcester back in mid-May and was recalled and placed on the 60-day major-league injured list in early June. He will not be eligible for activation until early August, and it sounds like it will be longer than that before he'll be an option for the Red Sox.

Winckowski was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday due to right elbow inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The swingman holds a 3.86 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 11.2 innings with the Red Sox this season and a 2.21 ERA and 18:2 K:BB across 20.1 frames with Worcester.
