Monteverde cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Monteverde made one relief appearance each of the last two seasons with the Marlins, and he logged an unimpressive 5.84 ERA and 79:41 K:BB over 106.1 innings in 2026 at Triple-A Jacksonville. The 29-year-old southpaw will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.

The Orioles claimed Abner off waivers from the Mets on Monday.

Abner split the 2026 season with the Diamondbacks, Giants and Mets and will now head to Baltimore after appearing in 13 games out of the bullpen with Arizona and San Francisco. He was hammered for a combined 17 runs (15 earned) on 21 hits and 11 walks with 10 strikeouts across 19 innings. Abner will look for a fresh start with Baltimore in the spring.

The Orioles claimed White off waivers from the Marlins on Monday.

White made his major-league debut with Miami this past season but was tagged for five runs on one hit, four walks and a hit-by-pitch across two-thirds of an inning. He spent the bulk of the campaign with Triple-A Jacksonville, logging a 2.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 62:31 K:BB across 56 frames. The 25-year-old will likely get a shot to break camp with Baltimore.

The Giants released Beck on Monday.

Beck has logged a 4.08 ERA and 132:46 K:BB over 176.2 innings across parts of four major-league seasons. The 30-year-old does not have minor-league options remaining, which could affect his ability to land a big-league contract this winter.

The Giants outrighted Lonsway to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Lonsway reached the majors for the first time this season, permitted three runs (two earned) over 2.1 innings. He held a 5.10 ERA and ugly 61:59 K:BB over 95.1 innings in 2026 at the minor-league level. Lonsway is no longer on the 40-man roster but will stay in the organization.

The Giants outrighted Kuhnel to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Kuhnel has been outrighted before, so he can decline the assignment and elect free agency. The veteran reliever collected a combined 4.40 ERA and 28:18 K:BB across 45 innings with four different teams in 2026.

The Astros selected Munoz's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

Munoz was dropped from the Astros' 40-man roster shortly after Opening Day after he was knocked around for seven runs in four innings. However, he's earned his way back onto the roster after posting a 3.06 ERA and 76:21 K:BB over 53 innings at Sugar Land.

The Reds claimed Davitt off waivers from the Giants on Monday.

Davitt permitted eight runs (seven earned) with a 5:4 K:BB over eight innings this season between the White Sox and Giants. The 27-year-old will compete for a spot in the Reds' bullpen, but he does have minor-league options remaining.

The Reds claimed Schultz off waivers from the Nationals on Monday.

In 40 appearances at the major-league level, Schultz has collected a 5.53 ERA and 60:20 K:BB covering 57 innings. The 28-year-old will compete for a job in the Reds' bullpen, assuming he's still on the roster when spring training rolls around.

Lovelady cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent Monday.

Lovelady logged 35 innings between the Mets and Nationals in 2026, collecting a 4.11 ERA and 31:24 K:BB. The southpaw reliever is now free to negotiate with all teams.
