  • Lou Trivino RP | PHI

    Phillies' Lou Trivino: Invited to Phillies' camp

    Trivino signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Saturday and received an invitation to spring training, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Trivino finished the 2025 campaign in Philadelphia, where he allowed two earned runs over nine innings while striking out eight batters and walking five. His strong finish will buy him another opportunity with the Phillies, though it's likely he begins the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

  • Anthony Banda RP | MIN

    Dodgers' Anthony Banda: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Dodgers designated Banda for assignment Friday.

    The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Ben Rortvedt, who was claimed off waivers. Banda holds a 3.14 ERA and 111:52 K:BB over 114.2 regular-season innings during his time with the Dodgers, but the club has several other left-handed relief options. He is likely to be claimed off waivers.

  • George Soriano RP | STL

    Nationals' George Soriano: Goes back to waiver wire

    The Nationals designated Soriano for assignment Thursday.

    He's clearing out to make room on the 40-man roster for Ken Waldichuk, who was claimed off waivers. Soriano was a waiver claim himself just last week and could be on the move again. The right-handed reliever has put up a 5.95 ERA and 117:55 K:BB covering 118 innings at the big-league level.

  • Nationals' Konnor Pilkington: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Nationals outrighted Pilkington to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

    Pilkington has the ability to elect free agency rather than accepting the outright assignment, though it's unclear what his plans are. The lefty posted a 4.45 ERA and 34:17 K:BB over 28.1 innings with the Nationals last season.

  • Pirates' Mike Clevinger: Gets NRI from Pittsburgh

    The Pirates signed Clevinger to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Clevinger opened 2025 in the bullpen with the White Sox, but he was battered for five runs with a 3:8 K:BB in 5.2 innings before returning to a rotation role at Triple-A Charlotte and remaining there for the rest of the season. The Pirates will likely keep the 35-year-old at Triple-A Indianapolis as rotation depth in 2026.

  • Giants' Michael Fulmer: Signs with Giants as NRI

    The Giants signed Fulmer to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

    Fulmer got into three games in the majors in 2025 but spent most of the year at the Triple-A level, collecting a 3.39 ERA and 86:29 K:BB over 66.1 innings. The right-hander will turn 33 in March and will attempt to win one of the final spots in the San Francisco bullpen.

  • Tayler Scott RP | ATL

    Braves' Tayler Scott: Joins Atlanta on MiLB pact

    Scott signed a minor-league deal with Atlanta on Dec. 27 that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

    Scott will get the chance to vie for a spot in Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen during spring training, but as a non-roster player, he's more likely to begin the 2026 campaign in the minors. The 33-year-old righty saw action in 25 big-league games in 2025 between stops with the Diamondbacks and Astros, pitching to a 7.90 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 24:18 K:BB across 27.1 innings.

  • Garrett Acton RP | MIA

    Marlins' Garrett Acton: Scooped up by Marlins

    The Marlins claimed Acton off waivers from the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Acton had previously been designated for assignment by the Rockies and has now been scooped up on waivers for the second time this offseason. The 27-year-old reliever made one scoreless appearance for the Rays in 2025 but spent most of the year at Triple-A Durham, where he held a 3.68 ERA and 71:27 K:BB over 58.2 frames. Acton will compete for a spot in Miami's bullpen.

  • Rockies' Valente Bellozo: Goes to Rockies on minors deal

    The Rockies signed Bellozo to a minor-league contract Monday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Bellozo elected free agency back in November after being removed from the Marlins' 40-man roster. The right-hander held a 4.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 81.1 innings in 2025. Bellozo will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Albuquerque as swingman depth.

  • Diamondbacks' Junior Fernandez: Signs with Arizona as NRI

    Fernandez signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday and received an invitation to spring training.

    Fernandez hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2022, but he turned in a 4.40 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 43 innings at Triple-A last season. The 28-year-old will likely remain a minor-league depth piece in 2026.
