The Rays selected Suwinski's contract from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Suwinski was acquired from the Dodgers in exchange for Hunter Feduccia and Jacob Kmatz at the trade deadline in August. In 37 games with Triple-A Durham, Suwinski slashed .231/.296/.300 with one home run, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored, six stolen bases and an 11:38 BB:K across 143 plate appearances. He'll compete for a role with the big-league club during spring training.

The Rays exercised Walls' $3.1 million club option for the 2027 season Monday.

Fresh off winning the American League Gold Glove at shortstop, Walls will be back with the Rays next season. A liability at the plate, slashed an ugly .222/.309/.298 with two home runs, 36 RBI, 60 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and a 45:105 BB:K across 433 plate appearances during the 2026 regular season. He then went 4-for-39 with no extra-base hits during Tampa Bay's postseason run.

Zulueta cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Zulueta was claimed off waivers from the Cubs over the summer and spent all of last season in Triple-A, where he compiled a 3.74 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings of relief in the Baltimore organization.

Wagaman cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent Monday.

Wagaman got into 52 games with the Mets in 2026 but managed just a .588 OPS. The 29-year-old will now seek a job in a new organization after passing through waivers unclaimed.

Pozo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Pozo split the 2026 season between the Cardinals and Orioles and slashed a combined .250/.258/.317 with one home run, seven RBI, four runs scored, one stolen base and a 1:9 BB:K across 62 plate appearances.

The Mets outrighted Pache to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Since he's been outrighted previously, Pache has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. He went 1-for-8 at the plate in a brief stint with the Mets this season.

The Mets claimed Ohl (elbow) off waivers from the Rockies on Monday.

Ohl missed the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he has a chance to be ready in time for the start of next season if the Mets plan to use him as a reliever. The right-hander posted a 5.10 ERA and 27:7 K:BB over 30 innings with the Twins in 2025 before going to Colorado in a trade last winter.

Taveras cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent Monday.

Taveras had one more year of arbitration eligibility, but the Orioles will allow him to look for work elsewhere rather than giving him a raise on the $2 million he earned in 2026. The 28-year-old appeared in 139 games for the Orioles last season and slashed .219/.288/.345 with eight home runs, 56 RBI, 58 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a 41:124 BB:K across 482 trips to the plate.

Monteverde cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Monteverde made one relief appearance each of the last two seasons with the Marlins, and he logged an unimpressive 5.84 ERA and 79:41 K:BB over 106.1 innings in 2026 at Triple-A Jacksonville. The 29-year-old southpaw will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.

The Rangers outrighted Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

He's lost his spot on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as utility depth. Helman has slashed .217/.277/.419 in limited duty with the Rangers over the past two seasons.
