The Pirates released Devanney on Sunday in order to allow him to seek opportunities overseas, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Devanney occupied a spot on the Pirates' 40-man roster but was a candidate to be non-tendered during the upcoming week with Pittsburgh needing to open up spots in order to protect other prospects from the Rule 5 Draft. Rather than exposing Devanney to the waiver process, the Pirates will cut the 28-year-old loose so that he can sign what will presumably be a more lucrative contract abroad. After being acquired from the Royals at the trade deadline, Devanney received his first MLB call-up in late August and saw action in 14 games for Pittsburgh down the stretch, slashing .139/.184/.167 with one RBI and one run across 38 plate appearances.

Hernandez underwent surgery on his left elbow Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hernandez had been playing through an elbow injury during the entire second half of the season and the postseason, and he's now elected to go under the knife to address the issue. His procedure will force him to miss the World Baseball Classic in March, and his status for Opening Day remains unknown.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday that Mayer's recovery from right wrist surgery had progressed to the point that he could have been available had the team made a deep postseason run, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

That suggests Mayer -- who underwent a right wrist arthroscopy in August -- should be fully recovered well ahead of spring training. As things currently stand, Mayer could open the 2026 season as the starter at either second or third base, though much will depend on what additions the Red Sox make to their roster.

Madrigal (shoulder) cleared waivers and opted for free agency Thursday.

Madrigal missed the full 2025 campaign after undergoing surgery in February to repair a fractured left shoulder. The infielder, who'll turn 29 in March, will now hit the open market. He spent the previous three years with the Cubs before signing with the Mets ahead of the 2025 season.

Miranda cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

After posting a .763 OPS in the big leagues in 2024, Miranda's performance declined considerably in 2025, as he slashed just .195/.272/.296 across 371 plate appearances at Triple-A St. Paul. His previous success could net him a fair amount of attention in free agency, though his options will likely be limited to minor-league contracts.

The Nationals outrighted Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

Lipscomb has lost his spot on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. The 25-year-old infielder has slashed just .206/.272/.237 during his time with the Nationals over the last two seasons.

The Dodgers picked up Muncy's $10 million club option for 2026 on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Keeping Muncy in town was likely an easy decision, as the 35-year-old slashed .243/.376/.470 with 19 homers, 67 RBI and 48 runs scored over 388 regular-season plate appearances. He added three more long balls and scored eight runs during the Dodgers' postseason run, which ended in the team winning its second World Series title in as many years. Muncy is likely to remain Los Angeles' primary third baseman while the club goes for the three-peat in 2026.

Bregman became a free agent after opting out of his contract Monday, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

Bregman's decision to pass on his $40 million player options for the 2026 and 2027 seasons had been considered a foregone conclusion. He is not going to net that amount on an annual basis on the free-agent market, but the 31-year-old has eyes on a lucrative long-term contract. Bregman slashed .273/.360/.462 with 18 homers over 114 regular-season games in 2025 with Boston. The Red Sox are likely to be aggressive in their efforts to re-sign the third baseman, but Bregman will have many suitors.

Espinal elected free agency Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

After clearing waivers Friday, Espinal will now officially begin the offseason in search of his next opportunity. The 30-year-old infielder is coming off the worst offensive season of his career, having finished the regular season with just a .574 OPS across 328 plate appearances.

The Reds outrighted Espinal to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Espinal has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but it's uncertain whether he plans to exercise that right. The veteran infielder slashed only .243/.292/.282 with zero home runs over 114 regular-season games for the Reds this season.
