The Tigers claimed Ingram off waivers from the Angels on Monday.

Although he struggled during his brief time with the big club in 2023, Ingram collected a 2.95 ERA and 77:34 K:BB over 61 frames between Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake. He'll attempt to win one of the left-handed relief jobs in Detroit's bullpen.

The Yankees acquired Ferguson from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for left-hander Matt Gage and right-hander Christian Zazueta, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Ferguson becomes the second lefty reliever to make the move from Los Angeles to The Bronx this offseason, as the Yankees previously acquired Victor Gonzalez in December. The 27-year-old Ferguson will be due $2.4 million this season in his final year of arbitration and is coming off a solid 2023 campaign in which he compiled a 3.43 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 70:23 K:BB to go with seven wins, 17 holds and three saves across 68 appearances spanning 60.1 innings. He'll likely slot into a middle-relief or setup role with the Yankees in front of closer Clay Holmes.

Cisnero signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Angels on Saturday, Taylor Blake Ward of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Cisnero's ERA ballooned to 5.31 in 2023 with the Tigers, but he collected a 70:25 K:BB over 59.1 innings. The 34-year-old posted a 3.84 ERA with 229 strikeouts across 211 frames during his five seasons in Detroit and should slide into a setup role in Anaheim.

The White Sox designated Ramsey for assignment Saturday.

Ramsey appeared in 21 games for the White Sox after having his contract selected in August, posting a 5.85 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 20 frames. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster in order to make room for Zach DeLoach and Prelander Berroa following Saturday's trade that sent Gregory Santos (elbow) to Seattle.

The Mariners traded Berroa, Zach DeLoach and the 69th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft to the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for Gregory Santos (elbow), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Berroa spent nearly all of last season with the Mariners' Double-A affiliate, logging a 2.76 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 65.1 innings. He also appeared in two big-league games, throwing 1.2 scoreless frames while striking out three batters and walking three more. The 23-year-old righty was expected to compete for a spot in Seattle's bullpen during the spring, but he should have little trouble securing a big-league roster spot in Chicago.

The White Sox traded Santos (elbow) to the Mariners on Saturday in exchange for Prelander Berroa, Zach DeLoach and the 69th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The White Sox continue their rebuild by unloading Santos, who posted a 3.39 ERA and 1.30 WHIP while striking out 66 batters in 66.1 frames and recorded five saves during his first full MLB season. Santos ended the campaign on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation and has been easing his way back to full health during the offseason. The 24-year-old righty had been in a position to operate as Chicago's closer, but Santos projects as a middle reliever in a deeper Seattle bullpen.

Maton signed a contract with the Rays on Saturday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

The 2023 campaign was Maton's best season to date with a 3.00 ERA and 1.12 WHIP alongside a 74:25 K:BB through 66 innings with the Astros. The presence of Pete Fairbanks and Jason Adam will likely prevent Maton from receiving many save opportunities with his new club, but his impressive strikeout rate should allow him to remain an option in high-leverage situations.

Then signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Jan. 24.

Then elected free agency earlier in the offseason and will now head to Triple-A Charlotte as organizational depth for the Sox. The 23-year-old righty appeared in nine games for the Mariners last season, surrendering six earned runs in 11 frames while striking out five batters and walking two. The White Sox don't have a particularly deep bullpen, so Then could get some more looks in the majors for his new club.

Jenson was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday.

The right-hander was claimed off waivers by the Twins in early January but only stuck on the 40-man roster for a month. Jensen made 43 appearances between the Double-A and Triple-A levels last season and had a 5.32 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 78:54 K:BB over 64.1 innings.

The Twins claimed Duarte off waivers from the Rangers on Friday.

The 27-year-old holds a 4.19 ERA and 25:23 K:BB over 34.1 innings at the major-league level over the last two seasons. Duarte will compete for a middle relief job in Minnesota, but he has an option year left so he might head to Triple-A St. Paul to start the season.
