Fulmer was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Fulmer appeared in 37 games with the Angels in 2024 and posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Because he has been outrighted multiple times, he could opt for free agency and seek a new opportunity heading into 2025.

Marte (shoulder) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Marte underwent surgery on his right shoulder in mid-September and is presumably still recovering. He could be ready to throw by spring training, though no official timeline has been announced by the team.

Wantz (elbow) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Wantz underwent a procedure on his elbow in mid-July, but it was not Tommy John surgery. Nevertheless, he was unable to return to the mound in 2024 after experiencing a setback. He'll presumably be ready for the start of spring training, which would roughly be in line with his initial recovery timetable.

Leiter has been added to the Yankees' ALCS roster, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Leiter is the injury replacement for Ian Hamilton (calf). The 33-year-old Leiter held a 4.98 ERA over 21.2 innings after being acquired by the Yankees at the trade deadline, while he struck out 33 and tallied 86 strikeouts across 58 frames in 2024 between his time with the Cubs and Yankees.

Hamilton (calf) has been removed from the Yankees' ALCS roster, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Hamilton injured his left calf Thursday in Game 3 of the ALCS and will now be ineligible to return for the remainder of the playoffs. Mark Leiter will take Hamilton's spot on the Yankees' roster.

Hamilton exited Thursday's game against the Guardians with left calf tightness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Hamilton suffered the injury while stretching for the first base bag in the sixth inning. He threw one warmup pitch but quickly exited after sailing it to the backstop. The severity of the issue remains unclear.

Hamilton exited Thursday's game against the Guardians with an apparent lower-body injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Hamilton was covering first base in the sixth inning and appeared to suffer the injury while stretching to reach the bag. He threw one warmup pitch that sailed to the backstop, and he was quickly pulled thereafter. There is no official diagnosis, but Hamilton will likely miss at least some action.

Murphy (elbow) began a throwing program last week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Murphy had Tommy John surgery in April and has finally been cleared to begin throwing again. The left-hander is sure to begin next season on the injured list -- perhaps the 60-day IL -- but will hope to contribute out of Boston's bullpen eventually.

Fulmer (elbow) has begun throwing off a mound, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Fulmer is coming up on the one-year anniversary of his UCL revision surgery and is tracking toward being ready to go for spring training. The right-hander inked a two-year, minor-league contract with the Red Sox in February and could open the 2025 season in the big-league bullpen, barring any setbacks with his recovery.

Stratton (forearm) is expected to be healthy for the beginning of spring training, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Stratton missed the final couple weeks of the regular season and the playoffs with a right flexor strain, but he's expected to recover with an offseason of rest. The veteran reliever holds a $4.5 million player option for 2025, which he seems likely to exercise after posting a lackluster 5.55 ERA and 44:33 K:BB over 58.1 innings in 2024.
