  • John Curtiss RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' John Curtiss: Outrighted to Reno

    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.

  • Jose Alvarado RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Club option exercised

    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.

  • Freddy Tarnok RP | MIA

    Marlins' Freddy Tarnok: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Marlins outrighted Tarnok to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Tarnok has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to reject Wednesday's outright assignment and become a free agent. The right-hander pitched well during his limited chances in relief with the Marlins in 2025, allowing two runs on just one hit and a 10:4 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

  • Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Marlins outrighted Bellozo to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Bellozo will remain in the organization. The 25-year-old has been used as a swingman in Miami, posting a 4.20 ERA and 98:44 K:BB across 150 innings since the start of the 2024 campaign.

  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Activated, outrighted to Triple-A

    The Marlins activated Zuber (lat) from the 60-day injured list and outrighted him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Having previously been outrighted, Zuber has the option to elect free agency. The right-hander missed the final month of the regular season with a strained lat, but he should be fully recovered by spring training.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Marlins activated Tinoco (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and outrighted him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Tinoco has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to elect free agency. The right-handed reliever will be sidelined until 2027 after undergoing UCL surgery in September.

  • Brent Suter RP | CIN

    Brent Suter: Becomes free agent

    The Reds declined Suter's $3 million option for 2026 on Wednesday.

    Suter will receive a $250,000 buyout instead. The veteran southpaw collected a 4.52 ERA and 53:18 K:BB across 67.2 frames for the Reds in 2025. With the versatility to go multiple innings and start a game in a pinch, Suter shouldn't have trouble landing another contract this winter.

  • Scott Barlow RP | CIN

    Scott Barlow: Option not picked up

    The Reds declined Barlow's $6.5 million option for 2026 on Wednesday.

    Barlow will receive a $1 million buyout instead. The veteran reliever made 75 regular-season appearances out of the Reds' bullpen, posting a 4.21 ERA and 75:45 K:BB over 68.1 frames. Barlow should be able to land a deal this winter to serve as a middle reliever.

  • Jared Shuster RP | CHW

    Athletics' Jared Shuster: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Athletics outrighted Shuster to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    Shuster was claimed off waivers by the Athletics in August but did not make an appearance for them at the big-league level. The 27-year-old was a full-time reliever for the first time in 2025 and posted an 8.04 ERA and 12:5 K:BB over 15.2 innings this year with the White Sox.

  • Ben Bowden RP | ATH

    Ben Bowden: Enters free agency

    Bowden (lat) elected to become a free agent Wednesday.

    The Athletics removed Bowden from their 40-man roster, and the southpaw has opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Bowden's 2025 season ended prematurely due to a left lat strain, but he avoided surgery and will have the offseason to heal.
