  • Jack Winkler 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Jack Winkler: Receives outright assignment

    The Marlins outrighted Winkler to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

    Winkler will remain in the Marlins' organization, but he'll be removed from the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old infielder made 14 appearances with Miami in 2025, going 4-for-16 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base.

  • Christian Roa SP | HOU

    Marlins' Christian Roa: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Roa cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Roa pitched three scoreless innings for the Marlins this season but spent most of his time in Triple-A, where he posted a 2.83 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 60.1 frames. Despite his strong performance, he'll now lose his place on Miami's 40-man roster and aim to earn it back during spring training.

  • Luis Guerrero RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Luis Guerrero: Designated for assignment

    The Red Sox activated Guerrero from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Guerrero missed a significant chunk of the 2025 season with an elbow issue, but he's healthy now, having made four appearances in the Dominican winter league. The 25-year-old has an uninspiring 19:16 K:BB over 27.1 innings at the big-league level, but he has a 29.8 percent strikeout rate in the minors and has minor-league options remaining, so Guerrero could draw interest on waivers.

  • Zach Brzykcy RP | MIA

    Marlins' Zach Brzykcy: Claimed by Miami

    The Marlins claimed Brzykcy off waivers Thursday from the Nationals.

    Brzykcy appeared in 26 games with the Nationals in 2025, posting a 9.00 ERA and a 24:12 K:BB across 23 innings. He closed out the season at Triple-A Rochester and logged a 17.18 ERA across 11 innings after being optioned there Aug. 5.

  • Ryan Ward LF | LAD

    Dodgers' Ryan Ward: Added to 40-man roster

    The Dodgers selected Ward's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Ward spent the entire 2025 campaign at Oklahoma City, where he slashed .292/.382/.558 with 36 homers, 122 RBI, 113 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 143 games. The 27-year-old outfielder will now receive a spot on the 40-man as a reward for his impressive performance, though he may have to wait a bit longer for his chance to play regularly on a talent-laden Dodgers squad.

  • Trey Lipscomb 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Trey Lipscomb: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Nationals outrighted Lipscomb to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

    Lipscomb has lost his spot on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. The 25-year-old infielder has slashed just .206/.272/.237 during his time with the Nationals over the last two seasons.

  • Ryan Loutos RP | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Loutos: Claimed by Mariners

    The Mariners claimed Loutos off waivers from the Washington Nationals on Thursday.

    Loutos, a 26-year-old right-hander, made 12 MLB appearances during the 2025 season, split between stints with the Dodgers and Nationals. He posted a 12.75 ERA and a 2.33 WHIP with an 8:8 K:BB over 12 innings. He fared significantly better with the Nationals' Triple-A affiliate in Rochester, posting a 4.32 ERA and a 27:13 K:BB across 25 innings. He'll join the Mariners' 40-man roster.

  • Alex Vesia RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Dodgers pick up team option

    The Dodgers exercised Vesia's (personal) $3.55 milion club option for 2026 on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    With a 3.02 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 59.2 regular-season innings, Vesia played a crucial part in stabilizing a Dodgers bullpen that often struggled in 2025. He also gave up two earned runs over 4.2 innings in the postseason, but personal matters prevented him from pitching during the World Series. The left-hander is expected to take on a high-leverage role again in 2026.

  • Braves' Carlos D. Rodriguez: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Atlanta outrighted Rodriguez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

    Rodriguez spent the entirety of the 2025 season on Atlanta's 40-man roster, but he never made it to the big leagues, hitting .247/.317/.323 with eight homers and 17 steals in 128 games during his time with Gwinnett. The 24-year-old will remain in the organization as outfield depth.

  • Braves' Chuckie Robinson: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    Atlanta outrighted Robinson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

    He'll have the opportunity to elect free agency if he wants. Robinson holds a career .131/.169/.192 slash line over 138 plate appearances in parts of three seasons in the majors.
