Gilbert cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Gilbert will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The left-hander posted a 5.24 ERA in 34.1 innings in 2022 before an elbow injury ended his season.

Rogers signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Giants on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander will be reunited with his twin brother, Tyler, in the San Francisco bullpen. Taylor finished with a 4.76 ERA over 64.1 innings between the Padres and Brewers in 2022, although that came with an excellent 84:19 K:BB. Camilo Doval should still have a clear leg up for saves in the Giants' bullpen, but the team's newest Rogers could enter the mix with Gabe Kapler often liking to play matchups.

Scott cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Scott was designated for assignment Friday and went unclaimed on waivers. He threw 12 innings in the majors with San Diego in 2022 and posted a 6.75 ERA and 2.08 WHIP.

Mayers signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Thursday.

Mayers was designated for assignment by the Angels in late September, and he elected free agency after refusing an outright assignment. He'll need to settle for a minor-league deal with Kansas City, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him invited to major-league spring training since he spent most of the 2022 campaign in the big leagues.

Ortega was designated for assignment by the Angels on Thursday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ortega had a 1.71 ERA across his first 15 appearances of 2022, but he had a 6.92 ERA in his next 12 outings and finished the campaign in the minors. The 26-year-old has now lost his spot on the 40-man roster, though he'll still likely report to big-league camp for spring training.

Garrett was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Thursday.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Jeter Downs. Garrett, 29, has a 7.66 ERA and 16:21 K:BB ratio over 24.2 career big-league innings. He stands a good chance of clearing waivers.

Santos (groin) was acquired by the White Sox from the Giants on Thursday in exchange for Kade McClure, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Santos was designated for assignment earlier this week and has now found a new home. The 23-year-old spent most of 2022 in the minors and had his season end prematurely due to a groin injury.

Perdomo signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Thursday.

The big lefty received an invitation to spring training. Perdomo holds an ugly 8.24 ERA over 22 appearances at the major-league level.

Ryan signed a minor-league contract with Seattle on Monday.

Ryan has spent the last two seasons at Triple-A Round Rock, where he posted a 4.49 ERA, 122:48 K:BB and 1.43 WHIP in 104.1 innings. It's possible he serves as a non-roster invitee this spring, but it seems likely that he'll at least spend most of the season in the minors.

Luetge was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Wednesday.

Luetge has made 107 appearances for the Yankees over the last two seasons, and he posted a 2.71 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 129.2 innings during that time. It's somewhat surprising to see him cast off the 40-man roster, but the move makes room for right-hander Tommy Kahnle. Although Luetge is heading into his age-36 season, it's possible he's claimed by another club.
