Dubin (elbow) cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Dubin ended the season on the injured list with elbow discomfort. It's unclear if he's healthy, but he'll now have the chance to elect to free agency if he doesn't want to accept the outright assignment.

Ragsdale was designated for assignment Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Ragsdale made his big-league debut in September and gave up eight earned runs in five innings across two appearances with the Orioles. He's likely to stick in the organization as depth for the 2026 season.

Rooney (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Rooney underwent elbow surgery in September, though the exact nature of the operation is unclear. He's now eligible to be a free agent but could elect to stick around as organizational depth in Houston.

Ort (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Ort was sidelined for the final month of the regular season with elbow inflammation. He'll presumably be ready to start spring training on the mound, though there hasn't been any official timeline from the team.

Walters (lat) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The move was procedurally required, but Walters is still recovering from lat surgery. It's unclear when he'll be able to return to the mound, but he had not started a rehab appearance prior to the end of the season.

Hentges (shoulder) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Hentges is recovering from a pair of surgeries, the more serious of which was on his shoulder, which cost him the entire 2025 season. He is expected to be ready for spring training, though his timeline may be a bit volatile given the seriousness of the injury.

The Guardians outrighted Krook to Triple-A Columbus, and he elected free agency Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Krook's only big-league appearances came with the A's in May, but he spent the final four months of the season in the Guardians' organization. He'll likely find a minor-league deal around the league this winter.

Allard was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus by the Guardians and elected free agency Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Allard pitched primarily out of the bullpen for the Guardians and was very effective in the role. He maintained a 2.63 ERA and 1.20 WHIP to go along with a 42:14 K:BB across 65 frames, often working multiple innings. Given those results, Allard should be able to land another big-league contract this winter.

Veneziano cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Veneziano appeared in 26 big-league games this season, spanning stints with Miami and St. Louis, and he logged a 4.68 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 25 innings. The 28-year-old will hit the open market after being designated for assignment by the Cardinals earlier this week.

The Yankees selected Castro's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Castro dominated minor-league hitters in 2025, turning in a 1.53 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 52:22 K:BB across 47 innings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He'll be rewarded with a place on New York's 40-man roster as a result of his performance, and he'll have a chance to win a spot in the Yankees' bullpen during spring training.
