Fitzgerald cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Fitzgerald was booted off the Dodgers' 40-man roster last Tuesday, but he will officially remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old infielder made his MLB debut last year and slashed .196/.302/.457 with four homers in 24 games with the Twins. He'll likely spend the vast majority of 2026 in Triple-A.

The Nationals designated Lara for assignment Tuesday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Mickey Gasper, who was claimed off waivers. Lara had a rough 2025 season, holding an 8.79 ERA and 10:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings with the Nationals and an 8.92 ERA and 26:22 K:BB across 36.1 frames with Triple-A Rochester. The 23-year-old stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed and remaining in the organization.

The Nationals claimed Gasper off waivers from the Twins on Tuesday.

Gasper had been booted off the Twins' 40-man roster, and he's now joining a new organization. The 30-year-old sports a lowly .133/.250/.195 batting line over 58 career games in the majors, but he can play catcher, first base, second base and left field and also has minor-league options remaining.

The Marlins designated Bido for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Bradley Blalock. Bido has already been in four organizations this offseason and could make it a fifth if he gets claimed on waivers again. He held a 5.87 ERA and 18.7 percent strikeout rate in 2025 with the Athletics.

Atlanta signed Reid-Foley to a minor-league contract Jan. 14.

Reid-Foley spent all of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level split between the Mets and Diamondbacks organizations, posting a 7.07 ERA and 39:33 K:BB over 28 innings. The 30-year-old has appeared in parts of seven big-league seasons, holding a 4.10 ERA across 71 appearances (13 starts).

The Marlins acquired Blalock from the Rockies on Tuesday in exchange for Jake Brooks, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Blalock had been designated for assignment last week and is now headed to a new organization. The right-hander holds an abysmal 8.16 ERA and 47:43 K:BB over 89.1 innings in parts of two seasons at the major-league level, but the Marlins appear optimistic they can get more out of Blalock. The 25-year-old will give Miami some rotation depth following its trades of Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers.

The Phillies designated Wilson for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of J.T. Realmuto, whose re-signing was made official Tuesday. Wilson slashed only .198/.282/.369in 52 regular-season tilts for the Phillies in 2025. However, the right-handed-hitting Wilson is a career .250/.359/.475 hitter versus southpaws and offers positional versatility, so he could draw interest via waivers.

Penrod agreed to a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Penrod began the 2025 campaign in the Red Sox organization before being traded to the Dodgers in June. He ended the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he posted an 8.65 ERA and 2.42 WHIP with a 23:30 K:BB across 26.0 innings.

The Cubs signed Thornton (Achilles) to a contract Monday, Tread Athletics reports.

It's not clear whether it's a major- or minor-league contract, but Thornton has landed a deal after throwing for teams in a "Pro Day" at Tread Athletics training facility. Thornton had surgery in August to repair a torn left Achilles tendon but has a chance to be ready in time for Opening Day. The right-handed reliever posted a 4.68 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB over 42.1 innings for the Mariners in 2025 before getting hurt.

Atlanta signed Mateo to a one-year contract Monday.

With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) set to miss at least the first six weeks or so of the season, Atlanta has added Mateo as a depth option at shortstop. The 30-year-old Mateo was plagued by injuries in his last two seasons with the Orioles, finishing with a lowly .177/.217/.266 batting line over 42 contests in 2025. He's healthy, now, though, and offers the ability to play second base, third base and all three outfield spots in addition to shortstop. Mauricio Dubon remains the likely Opening Day starter at shortstop for Atlanta, but Mateo will be in the mix while Kim recuperates from finger surgery.
