  • Osvaldo Bido SP | LAA

    Angels' Osvaldo Bido: Claimed by Halos

    The Angels claimed Bido off waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday.

    It's already the fifth organization Bido has been in this offseason as he continues to bounce around via waivers. The right-hander held a 5.87 ERA and 18.7 percent strikeout rate in 2025 with the Athletics. If Bido is still with the Angels come spring training, he could wind up in a swingman role.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Adds 12 pounds over offseason

    Miller has added 12 pounds over the offseason and touched 98.3 mph during a recent throwing session, he posted on his X account Jan. 16.

    Miller missed time on two separate occasions during the 2025 season due to a bone spur in his right elbow, though he returned to pitch down the stretch of the regular season and playoffs. The righty received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his elbow in June and was reportedly considering getting another injection this offseason, though it's unclear whether he wound up receiving one. Either way, Miller appears poised to enter spring training without restrictions, but he will be a health risk in 2026 and is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him collect a 5.68 ERA and 74:34 K:BB over 90.1 regular-season innings.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Avoids arbitration with Twins

    The Twins and Ryan avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.1 million contract Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The deal includes a $13 million mutual option for 2027.

    Ryan's $6.1 million salary for 2026 is right at the midpoint of the figures the two sides exchanged earlier this month, and he's guaranteed an additional $100,000 in the form of a buyout of his 2027 option. The right-hander posted a 3.42 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB across 171 innings in 2025. The Twins reportedly have pulled Ryan off the trade market for this offseason, but his name is likely to come up again during this year's trade deadline, if he's healthy and pitching well.

  • Jose Suarez SP | ATL

    Braves' Jose Suarez: Going back to Atlanta

    Atlanta claimed Suarez off waivers from the Orioles on Monday.

    Suarez went from Atlanta to Baltimore via waivers earlier this month and is now headed back the other direction. The left-hander made seven appearances (one start) with Atlanta in 2025, finishing with a 1.86 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings of work. Suarez doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so if he's still with Atlanta on Opening Day, he's likely to slide into a long relief role with the big club.

  • Justin Steele SP | CHC

    Cubs' Justin Steele: Resumes mound work

    Steele (elbow) threw off a mound Jan. 16 for the first time since undergoing UCL revision surgery April 18, MLB.com reports.

    Throwing off a mound represents an important milestone in the recovery process for Steele, who had been limited to playing catch off flat ground since resuming a throwing program in October. He'll likely continue to build up the intensity and frequency of his bullpen sessions over the next few weeks, but Steele probably won't be ready to face hitters until the latter half of spring training. The 30-year-old lefty will almost certainly open the season on the injured list, but if he steers clear of any setbacks while building up this spring, he could avoid placement on the 60-day IL and make his 2026 debut at some point in late April or May.

  • Jared Jones SP | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Jones: Throwing bullpen sessions

    Jones (elbow) said that he's throwing bullpen sessions twice a week as he continues to work through his rehab program, John Perrotto of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    The right-hander is now about eight months removed from undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, and his return to mound work is an encouraging sign for his early-season availability in 2026. Jones should continue to slowly ramp up his intensity on the mound over the next couple months.

  • Davis Daniel SP | ATL

    Reds' Davis Daniel: Inks minors deal with Cincy

    Daniel signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Thursday.

    The right-hander spent the 2025 campaign with Atlanta, making three appearances (two starts) in the majors. Daniel surrendered six earned runs over 10 frames in those outings and also struggled at Triple-A Gwinnett with a 5.51 ERA over 96.1 innings.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Considering retirement

    Darvish (elbow) is considering retiring from professional baseball, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    Darvish is slated to earn $46 million over the next three years, but after undergoing UCL repair surgery in November that will cause him to miss all of 2026, the 39-year-old's future in MLB is uncertain. Injuries have limited him to just 31 big-league starts over the past two regular seasons, during which he's turned in a 4.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 153.2 total innings.

  • Austin Roberts SP | MIA

    Rangers' Austin Roberts: Inks MiLB deal with Rangers

    Roberts signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Roberts split time between Double-A and Triple-A in 2025, finishing the season with a 4.21 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 57.2 total innings. The 27-year-old righty will likely spend the vast majority of 2026 at Triple-A Round Rock.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Max Scherzer: Not rushing to sign

    Scherzer is waiting for the right opportunity to sign with a team this offseason, and he could wait until after Opening Day, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

    Scherzer told the media that he was healthy and ready to sign immediately, but that he only wants to pitch for certain teams. The right-hander didn't list or hint at which clubs he'd be willing to play for, but he did say that he is willing to wait the situation out as he enters his age-41 campaign. There's still plenty of time for Scherzer to sign and be ready to begin the 2026 season on time, but this will be a situation to monitor in the coming weeks.
