Cardinals' Ryan Tepera: Leaves 40-man roster
The Cardinals designated Tepera for assignment Thursday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Just three days after signing a one-year deal with the Cardinals, Tepera will now be cast off the 40-man roster and sent through waivers. Tepera allowed two runs across two innings with the club, and he holds a 7.59 ERA and 2.06 WHIP on the season.

Cardinals' Ryan Tepera: Joins St. Louis
Tepera signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Tepera was released by the Angels last month after holding a 7.27 ERA in 10 appearances this season, but he got back on track after inking a minor-league deal with the Rangers, tossing eight scoreless frames with 11 strikeouts. The veteran reliever will fill a middle relief role in St. Louis.

Rangers' Ryan Tepera: Catches on with Rangers
Tepera signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday.
Tepera was released by the Angels last month after holding a 7.27 ERA and 2.08 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 8.2 innings. The 35-year-old has been plenty viable as a middle reliever prior to 2023, though, and is worth a shot on a minor-league pact.

Ryan Tepera: Elects free agency
Tepera cleared unconditional release waivers and elected free agency Saturday.
Tepera was designated for assignment last Sunday by the Angels and will now look for a new team. The right-hander has struggled to a 7.27 ERA and 2.08 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 8.2 innings in 10 appearances with the Angels in 2023.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Angels designated Tepera for assignment Sunday.
Tepera has struggled throughout the 2023 campaign, and his poor outing against the Guardians on Saturday that saw him allow a pair of solo homers and blow a save ended up being the final straw. Because of Tepera's previous success in the past there could be some interest in his services on the waiver wire, and it seems unlikely that the right-hander would accept an outright assignment to Triple-A if he goes unclaimed/untraded.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Blows save, takes loss
Tepera (2-2) blew the save and took the loss in Saturday's 8-6 loss to Cleveland. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.
Tepera had a nightmare eighth inning, entering the game with a 6-4 lead and one out before immediately giving up a go-ahead three-run homer to Josh Naylor on just his second pitch. Though he managed to bounce back and get David Fry to go down swinging, Tepera was taken yard once again, this time by Andres Gimenez. After a brief stint on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder issue, Tepera had racked up seven strikeouts over 4.0 scoreless innings in his last three appearances but was unable to carry the success into Saturday's contest. The outing marked his second blown save of the season and hiked his ERA up to 7.27.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Starting rehab assignment
Tepera (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Inland Empire on Friday, Steve Wendt of 66ers Radio reports.
Tepera is slated for one inning of work in what will be his first game action since he went down with right shoulder inflammation in mid-April. It's not clear how many additional rehab appearances he'll need before activation, but he's eligible to return Monday.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Lands on injured list
Tepera was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation.
Tepera exited Saturday's game against the Red Sox with the shoulder issue, and the initial diagnosis is inflammation. The right-hander will be eligible to return from the injured list May 1, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Leaves with apparent injury
Tepera left Saturday's appearance against the Red Sox with an apparent injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. He took the loss while allowing three runs -- one earned -- over two-thirds of an inning.
Tepera appeared to be pointing to his right shoulder as he left the contest shortly after walking in a run in the eighth inning. Tucker Davidson entered in the right-hander's place.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Exited with shoulder injury
Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters after Saturday's loss to the Red Sox that Tepera left his appearance with a right shoulder injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Tepera walked in a run in the eighth inning and immediately pointed to his shoulder before exiting the contest. There's a very good chance that the right-hander will be heading to the injured list to give the Angels a fresh arm in the bullpen even if the injury isn't significant, but that will likely be determined by how Tepera is feeling before Sunday's game.

Angels' Ryan Tepera: Could get some save chances
Angels manager Phil Nevin suggested Saturday that the team's choice of closer early in the season will depend on "what the game dictates," Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Carlos Estevez was reportedly the frontrunner for the ninth-inning role at the beginning of camp, but the veteran has struggled this spring. While Nevin didn't indicate that Estevez has fallen out of favor -- in fact, the manager emphasized that he expects Estevez to "get some big outs late in the game most of the year" -- the door was left open for others to perhaps get a crack at closing as well. Jimmy Herget and Tepera would be the most likely options if that scenario plays out, per Fletcher.
