The Rays designated Lovelady for assignment Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lovelady is a roster casualty as the Rays look to clear space on Rule 5 Draft protection day. The lefty reliever holds a career 4.98 ERA and 90:36 K:BB over 99.1 innings covering parts of five big-league seasons.

The Twins selected Raya's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Raya made 24 starts at Double-A Wichita and one at St. Paul this past season, finishing with a 4.05 ERA and 103:44 K:BB over 97.2 innings. The 22-year-old is now part of the 40-man roster and is likely to return to St. Paul to begin 2025.

The White Sox selected Carela's contract from Double-A Birmingham on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Acquired from the Yankees in 2023 in the Keynan Middleton trade, Carela posted a 3.71 ERA and 114:45 K:BB across 106.2 innings covering 23 starts between High-A Winston-Salem and Birmingham in 2024. Just seven of those outings came at the latter affiliate, and he could return to that level to start 2025.

The White Sox selected Montgomery's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Montgomery slashed only .214/.329/.381 with 18 home runs and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate this season at Charlotte, although at 22 (he'll turn 23 in February), he was quite young for that level. He could use some more seasoning, but with a fast start next season, Montgomery could push to see time at shortstop with the big club.

The Athletics selected Hoglund's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Hoglund, who turns 25 in December, held a 3.44 ERA and 119:37 K:BB across 130.2 innings between Double-A Midland and Las Vegas in 2024. He was much more successful at Midland (2.84 ERA) than he was at Las Vegas (5.88 ERA), which isn't a surprise given the step up in competition and hitter-friendly environment in the Pacific Coast League. Hoglund is a candidate to see some starts for the A's in 2025.

Gill was named the 2024 American League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year on Monday.

Gil narrowly came away with the award by collecting 15 first-place votes in comparison to Colton Cowser's 13 first-place votes. Gil was certainly a worthy recipient of the honor after turning in a 3.50 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with a 171:77 K:BB across 29 starts (151.2 innings). However, there will be plenty of competition within the Yankees' rotation heading into the 2025 campaign, leaving no room for Gil to become complacent.

The Rays and Sulser avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Sulser had been eligible for arbitration for a second time. The 34-year-old reliever holds a career 3.74 ERA and 158:71 K:BB over 149 innings covering parts of six big-league seasons.

The Rays designated Shenton for assignment Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The club has decided it had a better use for a 40-man roster spot ahead of the Rule 5 Draft protection deadline. Shenton will turn 27 in January and has just 50 major-league plate appearances under his belt, but he's slashed .276/.391/.541 with 34 homers in 144 games at the Triple-A level, so there could be interest in the infielder via waivers.

The Rays selected Rock's contract from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Acquired from the Rockies in March, Rock posted a 4.58 ERA and 132:35 K:BB over 139.2 innings this season at Durham. The left-hander is now protected from the Rule 5 Draft.

The Yankees signed Reyes to a minor-league contract Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The 31-year-old utility player hit .287/.339/.377 as a part-timer in Boston in 2023 but slashed only .183/.234/.217 between the Red Sox and Mets in 2024. Reyes has started a game at every position on the diamond other than catcher and pitcher, so he will bring plenty of versatility to the table as a depth piece for the Yankees.
