Marlins' Mychal Givens: Reassigned to minor-league camp
The Marlins reassigned Givens to minor-league camp Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Givens didn't sign until mid-March, so he had an uphill battle to make the Opening Day roster. The veteran reliever could still see lots of action in the Marlins' bullpen this season, but he'll head to Triple-A Jacksonville for now to knock some rust off.

Marlins' Mychal Givens: Throws bullpen session
Givens threw a bullpen session Tuesday and could progress to live batting practice by Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Signed as a non-roster invitee over the weekend, Givens is ramping things up in a hurry in hopes of convincing the Marlins to carry him on their Opening Day roster. The veteran reliever was limited to just six appearances last season because of shoulder issues but appears to be healthy now.

Marlins' Mychal Givens: Links up with Miami
Givens signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Sunday that includes an invite to big-league camp, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander endured a rough campaign with Baltimore last season as he made just six appearances due to a shoulder injury before being released in August. Givens had a 3.38 ERA in 59 outings for the Cubs and Mets in 2022 and would provide the Marlins some veteran bullpen depth if he can earn a roster spot and get back to that form.

Mychal Givens: Heads to open market
Givens was released by the Orioles on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Givens was reinstated from the 60-day injured list last weekend after a lengthy shoulder injury but was designated for assignment rather than brought back onto the active roster. The 33-year-old went unclaimed on waivers but will hope to land somewhere for the stretch run, perhaps on a minor-league deal.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Reinstated, DFA'd
The Orioles reinstated Givens from the 60-day injured list Sunday and designated him for assignment, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Givens struggled during his brief time with the Orioles this season, surrendering five runs in four innings before landing on the injured list with a shoulder injury in early June. After a lengthy recovery, Givens threw three scoreless innings with Triple-A Norfolk during his rehab assignment and could remain there for the foreseeable future if he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Moves rehab to Triple-A
Givens (shoulder) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Givens tallied two strikeouts over a scoreless inning in his rehab debut earlier this week in the Florida Complex League and is now just one step away from becoming an option again for the Orioles' bullpen. He's been on the shelf since early June due to nagging right shoulder discomfort.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Starts up rehab assignment
Givens (shoulder) reported to the Orioles' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Monday to begin a rehab assignment.
Givens hasn't pitched for the Orioles since May 31 due to right shoulder inflammation, so he'll likely require multiple rehab appearances in the minors before he's deemed ready to return from the 60-day injured list. The 33-year-old has typically operated as a setup man throughout his career, but Givens may have to settle for a middle-innings role out of the Baltimore bullpen once activated.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Moved to 60-day IL
The Orioles transferred Givens (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Givens landed on the injured list June 2 (retroactive to June 1) with right shoulder inflammation, so his move to the 60-day IL will push his return back into early August. The 33-year-old reliever resumed throwing recently and is slated to begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break. His spot on the 40-man roster was filled by Chris Vallimont, who was selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Nearing rehab assignment
Givens (shoulder) is slated to begin a minor-league rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Givens has been playing catch on flat ground without issue and will head to Florida next week to begin throwing off a mound. A rehab stint will follow, which should put him in line to return to the Orioles' bullpen well before the end of July. The veteran reliever has been on the shelf since June 2 due to lingering right shoulder discomfort.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Could resume throwing shortly
Givens (shoulder) is scheduled to get re-evaluated in the coming days with the hope that he'll be cleared to resume playing catch later this week or next week, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Givens was recently pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk after experiencing renewed discomfort in his shoulder. Manager Brandon Hyde suggested over the weekend that the Orioles don't believe that Givens is dealing with a significant setback, but the fact that the reliever will go at least a week without throwing suggests he's no longer on track to return from the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Dealing with soreness
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Givens has had some right shoulder soreness, but there's a "low level of concern," Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Givens appears to have suffered a minor setback, but it seems he'll be back on his rehab assignment soon. It's likely the right-hander reliever is out for most of the rest of the upcoming week, depending on how his shoulder responds in the coming days.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Evaluation coming Sunday
Givens (shoulder) will not make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday and instead will be getting an evaluation in Baltimore, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Givens has been out of action since the start of June because of right shoulder inflammation, and he's been able to give the Baltimore bullpen only four innings because of the injury. The right-hander could be an option for the Orioles in the early portion of next week, but that will at least be partially determined by the results of that come Sunday.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Unlikely for series versus Tampa
Givens (shoulder) is unlikely to be activated from the 15-day injured list during the Orioles' upcoming two-game series versus the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Givens has made two rehab appearances, one at Double-A Bowie and one at Triple-A Norfolk. He's allowed a run on three hits and two walks with one strikeout over those outings, which suggests he may need a bit more time to ramp up. The Orioles also are unlikely to have a pressing need in their bullpen with days off Monday and Thursday, so Givens may get another rehab outing or two before an activation no earlier than Friday.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Starting rehab assignment
Givens (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
He'll then move up to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday and seemingly could be activated after that if all goes well. Givens has been limited to just six appearances for the Orioles this season due to knee and shoulder injuries.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Placed on 15-day IL
Givens was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to June 1, with right shoulder inflammation.
Givens will be out for at least the next two weeks due to a sore shoulder -- a discouraging development after he missed the first eight weeks of the season with a knee injury. The 33-year-old reliever has surrendered six runs (five earned) in four innings this season out of the Orioles' bullpen.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Takes loss Wednesday
Givens (0-1) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk without recording an out to take the loss Wednesday versus the Guardians.
Givens allowed the first three batters in the fifth inning to reach base, and Mike Baumann couldn't stop the bleeding after that. Through six appearances, Givens has given up six runs (five earned) over four innings with a meager 2:6 K:BB. He has a hold and a blown save. Initially considered an option to feature in a high-leverage role, the right-hander is unlikely to be in the late-inning mix until he gets his performance on track after missing nearly two months with knee soreness.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Surrenders lead in season debut
Givens allowed a run on a hit and two walks while striking out one in one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 8-3 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.
Givens had been out of action due to knee soreness since mid-March. While he made six rehab appearances, he still looked a bit rusty in his big-league season debut, which saw him yield the game-tying run on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. The right-hander has worked extensively as a late-innings option throughout his career, racking up 85 holds and 31 saves over eight seasons. Felix Bautista will likely remain the closer for the Orioles, so Givens is looking at a setup role at best for now, though he may need some low-leverage work to get acclimated over the next couple of weeks.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Reinstated from IL
Givens (knee) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Givens will join the Orioles in Toronto after making six rehab appearances with Double-A Bowie, giving up three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 5.2 frames. The right-hander will provide Baltimore with another experienced arm in the bullpen as he's set to officially start his second stint with the team during his nine-year career.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Throws bullpen session
Givens (knee) threw a bullpen session at Camden Yards on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
It's expected to be the last step before he's cleared to return from the injured list, as Givens could fly with the Orioles for their weekend series in Toronto and be activated any day. The veteran reliever has been out all season with a left knee issue.

Orioles' Mychal Givens: Closing in on activation
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Givens (knee) will throw a bullpen session in Baltimore at some point over the next couple of days, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The side session could be a final test of Givens' health before he's activated from the 15-day injured list, with his reinstatement perhaps coming prior to Friday's series opener in Toronto. Givens has been on the shelf all season with left knee inflammation but recently wrapped up a six-appearance minor-league rehab assignment.
