The Marlins outrighted Brzykcy to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Brzykcy has lost his spot as the Marlins do some 40-man roster maneuvering. He's been outrighted previously, so Brzykcy has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. The 27-year-old reliever holds a career 9.38 ERA over 34 appearances at the big-league level.

The Marlins outrighted Zuber to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Zuber underwent UCL surgery with an internal brace earlier this month and is not expected to pitch again until 2028. Since he's been outrighted before, Zuber can elect free agency.

Foley cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Foley delivered his least-effective season in the majors after returning from shoulder surgery in mid-July, finishing the year with a 4.15 ERA and 1.50 WHIP alongside a 15:11 K:BB over 26 innings. He'll depart the 40-man roster to begin the offseason, but he figures to have a chance to compete for a bullpen spot during training and could benefit from having an entire offseason to fully recover.

The Giants activated Gage (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and outrighted him to Triple-A Sacramento.

Gage posted a 5.60 ERA and 22:17 K:BB over 27.1 innings with the Giants this season. He missed the second half with elbow trouble but was given a clean bill of health heading into the winter.

The Nationals designated Kent for assignment Thursday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Braxton Roxby. Kent has bounced around via waivers himself over the past year, allowing 13 runs (10 earned) over 16.1 innings during his time in the majors between the Twins and Nationals.

The Nationals claimed Roxby off waivers from the Giants on Thursday.

The 27-year-old Roxby reached the majors in 2026 for the first time, allowing two runs with a 3:2 K:BB across 5.1 frames. Roxby -- who logged a 3.78 ERA and 60:26 K:BB over 64.1 innings with Triple-A Sacramento -- will compete for a bullpen job with the Nationals, assuming he's still in the organization for spring training.

Ashby secured the save in Game 2 of the World Series against the Rays on Saturday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out three over 1.2 innings.

It's the third save of the playoffs for Ashby, who notched just four in 75 appearances during the regular season. After recording the final two outs of the eighth inning, the left-hander returned for the ninth and immediately put the tying run on base when Jonny DeLuca led off with a double. Ashby once again stayed composed and retired the next three batters to give Milwaukee a 2-0 series lead. The 28-year-old has arguably been the best pitcher -- starter or reliever -- in the playoffs thus far, as he's fired 15.2 scoreless innings while giving up just five hits with a 17:3 K:BB.

Megill earned the save in Game 1 of the World Series against Tampa Bay on Friday, giving up a run on two hits and a walk with one strikeout during the ninth inning.

The right-hander retired leadoff man Yandy Diaz on a groundout before loading the bases on two singles and a walk, and Megill seemingly escaped when Liam Hicks appeared to ground into a game-ending double play. However, the Rays successfully challenged the play at second to extend the game and cut the deficit to 3-2, but Megill responded with a strikeout to end the contest. It's the first run surrendered during the playoffs for Milwaukee's closer, who now has a 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB across 6.2 postseason innings.

Patrick is not on the Brewers' World Series roster.

He will cede his spot to Brandon Woodruff (shoulder), who has not pitched in a game in almost four months. Patrick was on the Brewers' roster for the NLDS and NLCS rounds but did not appear in any games.

Klein underwent surgery to remove bone chips in his right elbow Wednesday.

Klein spent the final two months of the season on the injured list due to his elbow, and he's now decided to go under the knife to treat the issue. He's expected to be fully recovered by the time spring training begins and may have to compete for a spot in the Dodgers' bullpen after posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 41.2 innings.
