Orioles' Adrian Houser: Nets MiLB deal with Baltimore
Adrian Houser agreed to a minor-league contract with the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.Houser was released by the Mets in late July, but he caught on with the Cubs on Aug. 7 on a minor-league deal, only to be cut less than a month later. Now with his third organization of the season, Houser should provide starting depth for the Orioles at Triple-A Norfolk, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot could be an obstacle in getting another big-league opportunity in 2024.

Adrian Houser: Heads to open market
The Mets released Adrian Houser on Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.Houser will head to free agency after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment last weekend. The right-hander opened the season in the Mets' rotation, posting an 8.55 ERA over seven starts before he was permanently moved him to the bullpen in late May. Houser turned in a 3.28 ERA over 35.2 innings as a reliever, but he didn't notice much of a bump in his strikeout rate (16.8 percent) and had mostly underwhelming underlying statistics. He'll look to catch on elsewhere as organizational starting pitching depth and may have to settle for a minor-league contract.

Mets' Adrian Houser: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
The New York Mets designated Adrian Houser for assignment Friday.Houser looked like a reasonable addition to the back end of the Mets rotation when they traded for him over the offseason. The gambit didn't work out, however, with the 31-year-old holding an 8.55 ERA and 20:21 K:BB over 33.2 innings in seven starts. He posted a 3.28 ERA while working out of the bullpen but had allowed nine runs over nine innings this month. Houser will almost certainly clear waivers, given his $5.05 million salary. He'll likely elect free agency once he clears waivers and will pursue an opportunity with another organization.

Mets' Adrian Houser: Stuck with loss Thursday
Adrian Houser (1-5) took the loss Thursday against the Nationals, striking out two and giving up a solo home run in an inning of relief.The New York Mets managed only one hit on the day, but Jose Quintana kept the game scoreless through seven innings.

It was the first long ball Houser had allowed in 23.2 innings since being shifted to the bullpen in late May, and the 31-year-old right-hander has been mostly effective in relief, posting a 1.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB during that stretch.

Mets' Adrian Houser: Collects first hold
Adrian Houser gave up two hits and two walks over 2.1 scoreless relief innings Monday to record his first hold of the season in Monday's win over the Nationals. He failed to strike out a batter.It was far from a dominant performance, but Houser was able to protect an 8-5 lead after taking the ball from Tylor Megill to begin the sixth inning. Houser has adjusted well to a long-relief role so far, allowing two earned runs in 12.1 innings over five appearances, but his 5:7 K:BB suggests his luck won't last. Monday's hold was just the second of his career, with the other coming back in 2019 when he filled a similar swingman role with the Brewers.

Mets' Adrian Houser: Returning to bullpen
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Adrian Houser will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the Giants, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.Houser returned to the rotation Tuesday against the Guardians but put up another dud with six runs allowed over five innings.

Houser has struggled to an 8.55 ERA in seven starts this season, but he's pitched better in his two relief outings with just one earned run allowed over four frames.

The 31-year-old right-hander has struggled to a 7.88 ERA with a 1.78 WHIP and 21:24 K:BB through his first 37.2 innings with New York.

Mets' Adrian Houser: Drawing start Tuesday
Adrian Houser is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Guardians at Progressive Field.Houser had made his last two appearances as a reliever, but he'll slot into the rotation at least temporarily and afford all other five starters some rest while the New York Mets are in the midst of a stretch of 13 games in 13 days that ends Wednesday. After Thursday's off day, the Mets will have another stretch of 13 games in 13 days, but unless he impresses Tuesday, Houser may not be the top choice to stick around in a starting role if New York expands its rotation to six men. Rather than Houser, Jose Butto -- who posted a 3.08 ERA over seven starts before being optioned to Triple-A Syracuse last Wednesday -- would look to be a more worthy candidate to rejoin the big-league rotation.
