Roa cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Roa pitched three scoreless innings for the Marlins this season but spent most of his time in Triple-A, where he posted a 2.83 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 60.1 frames. Despite his strong performance, he'll now lose his place on Miami's 40-man roster and aim to earn it back during spring training.

The Marlins claimed Brzykcy off waivers Thursday from the Nationals.

Brzykcy appeared in 26 games with the Nationals in 2025, posting a 9.00 ERA and a 24:12 K:BB across 23 innings. He closed out the season at Triple-A Rochester and logged a 17.18 ERA across 11 innings after being optioned there Aug. 5.

The Dodgers exercised Vesia's (personal) $3.55 milion club option for 2026 on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

With a 3.02 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 59.2 regular-season innings, Vesia played a crucial part in stabilizing a Dodgers bullpen that often struggled in 2025. He also gave up two earned runs over 4.2 innings in the postseason, but personal matters prevented him from pitching during the World Series. The left-hander is expected to take on a high-leverage role again in 2026.

Atlanta outrighted Payamps to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Payamps has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, which he seems likely to do. The 31-year-old reliever held a 6.84 ERA over 30 appearances between Milwaukee and Atlanta in 2025, but a 2.78 ERA over 137 regular-season appearances for the Brewers across 2023 and 2024 should be enough for a team to take a flier on the righty.

Atlanta outrighted Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Cox made 13 appearances for Atlanta in 2025, posting an 8.86 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 21.1 innings. The lefty reliever is no longer on the 40-man roster but remains in the organization.

The Rockies claimed Acton off waivers from the Rays on Thursday.

Acton posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 58.2 innings at Triple-A Durham in 2025, which is evidently enough for the Rockies to feel comfortable adding him to a very weak pitching staff. Colorado's lack of depth gives the 27-year-old a decent chance to break spring training with the big club; otherwise, he'll report to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Kelly cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Kelly spent the vast majority of the 2025 season at Reno, where he finished with a 5.63 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 115 innings. Now that the 36-year-old righty no longer owns a spot on Arizona's 40-man roster, he may elect free agency and look elsewhere for his next opportunity.

Nelson cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Nelson appeared in just three games for the D-backs in 2025, giving up two earned runs over two innings. He didn't find much success in the minor leagues either, posting an 8.83 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 34.2 frames. His poor performance will now cost him his roster spot as the offseason begins, and it's unknown whether he will exercise his right to elect free agency.

Curtiss cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Curtiss finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP alongside a 24:5 K:BB across 36.2 innings. However, with the Diamondbacks aiming to clear roster space before free agency begins, the 32-year-old righty will lose his place on the 40-man roster. He will have the option to elect free agency.

The Phillies exercised Alvarado's (forearm) club option Wednesday.

As expected, the Phillies have opted to pick up the $9.5 million club option on Alvarado for the 2026 season. He ended the 2025 campaign on the 15-day injured list due to a left forearm strain, and he missed 80 games earlier in the season due to a PED suspension. Across the 28 appearances he made in 2025, Alvarado posted a 3.81 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and seven saves over 26 innings. He'll have the offseason to heal from his injury and will aim to be available for the start of spring training.
