Pirates' Domingo German: Remains in organization
German cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
German was designated for assignment Thursday by the Pirates but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. In two stints with Pittsburgh this season, the 32-year-old has a 7.84 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

Pirates' Domingo German: Cast away by Pirates again
The Pirates designated German for assignment Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
The move comes after German's poor outing Wednesday in which he allowed six earned runs on nine hits across three innings. The 32-year-old ended up making seven total appearances for the Pirates in his return to the majors. He had allowed just two earned runs in his first 12.0 innings, but surrendered 16 earned runs in his last 8.2 innings. Since departing the Yankees in November, German had two stints with the Pirates, the second of which has come to a close. In a corresponding move, Joey Wentz was activated Thursday after being claimed off waivers from Detroit on Tuesday.

Pirates' Domingo German: Poor showing in start
German (0-1) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings to take the loss versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
German didn't pitch well, but it wouldn't have made much difference considering the Pirates couldn't muster a hit. He's given up 17 runs (16 earned) over his last 8.2 innings, a span that includes Wednesday's start and a pair of relief appearances. For the year, German has a 7.84 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB through 20.2 innings over seven appearances (two starts). The Pirates haven't revealed if he'll get a chance to stay in the rotation after this poor outing.

Pirates' Domingo German: Making start Wednesday
German is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
At least temporarily, the Pirates will expand the rotation to a six men, with the addition of German building in an additional day of rest between starts for rookies Paul Skenes and Jared Jones. German tossed six scoreless innings against the Rangers in his lone other start for the Pirates on Aug. 21, but he worked in long relief in his last two appearances, covering 5.2 innings while yielding 10 runs on 11 hits and five walks.

Pirates' Domingo German: Lit up in long relief
German surrendered eight earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three across 2.2 innings of relief in Monday's 18-8 loss to the Cubs.
After tossing six shutout innings in his first start with the Pirates last Wednesday against the Rangers, German headed back to the bullpen as Pittsburgh kicked off its three-game series with the Cubs. The Pirates likely weren't planning on German working extensively Tuesday, but he was needed in long relief after started Mitch Keller was lifted after tossing four innings and 97 pitches. After entering the game with the Pirates facing a 3-2 deficit, German turned in a 1-2-3 fifth inning, but he completed unraveled in the sixth, with the Cubs batting around the order and capping an eight-run frame with a two-out Dansby Swanson grand slam. German returned for the seventh inning and gave up two base hits and recorded two outs before giving way to Brady Feigl. Though he worked out of the bullpen Tuesday, German could get another look in a starting role in September if the Pirates decide to expand their rotation to six men to create additional days of rest between starts for rookie hurlers Paul Skenes and Jared Jones (lat).

Pirates' Domingo German: Sharp in first Pirates start
German allowed three hits and four walks over six scoreless innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Rangers. He struck out four.
Making his first start this season, German was excellent, blanking the Rangers over six frames despite allowing at least one baserunner in five frames. The 31-year-old right-hander has allowed just two runs through 12 innings this year with the Pirates, posting a 1.00 WHIP with eight strikeouts. However, with Jared Jones (lat) nearing a return, German figures to head back to a swingman role in Pittsburgh.

Pirates' Domingo German: Making start Wednesday
German will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Hannah Mears of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports.
German has given up two runs over six innings while working out of the Pirates' bullpen as a multi-inning reliever, and Wednesday will mark his first time starting a big-league game this season. The 32-year-old righty posted a 5.29 ERA over 68 innings while working as a starter at Triple-A Indianapolis, though he'll have the advantage of facing a Rangers offense that ranks 23rd in the majors in OPS (.686).

Pirates' Domingo German: Contract selected
The Pirates selected German's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
German hasn't had much success in Triple-A this season, posting a 5.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 68 innings across 13 starts. He'll join the big-league pitching staff nonetheless and will presumably work out of the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever. Hunter Stratton was optioned to Indianapolis to create space on the active roster, and Josh Walker was DFA'd to open a 40-man roster spot.

Pirates' Domingo German: Set to join major-league roster
German is set to have his contract selected from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
German will join the major-league roster after compiling a 5.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 66 strikeouts over 68 innings in 13 starts with Indianapolis this season. The right-hander had an opt-out in his contract for Friday, so the Pirates opted to add him to the big-league roster. It's unclear if German will draw a start or not, but more information will likely be provided when the move is made official.

Pirates' Domingo German: Back with Pittsburgh
German re-signed Sunday with the Pirates on a minor-league contract, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
German had opted out of his minor-league deal with the Pirates last week, but after canvassing the open market, he's elected to rejoin the organization. His new contract contains an Aug. 9 opt-out clause, so he could choose to pursue free agency once again in three weeks if he's not promoted to the big leagues before then. German has turned in a 5.36 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 48:28 K:BB across 50.1 innings over his 10 starts with Triple-A Indianapolis this season.

Domingo German: Released by Pittsburgh
The Pirates released German on Tuesday.
Per Robert Murray of FanSided.com, German exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract. German had made 11 starts between Single-A Bradenton and Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a 5.36 ERA and 48:28 K:BB over 50.1 innings in 10 appearances at the latter stop. The 31-year-old holds a career 4.41 ERA over parts of six major-league seasons and is now free to sign with another organization. Murray notes that the Pirates are open to re-signing the righty.

Pirates' Domingo German: Makes season debut
German allowed one run while striking out four over four innings in his season debut Tuesday with Single-A Bradenton.
It's his first game action since last July, as the Yankees placed German on the restricted list in August following a clubhouse incident. He became a free agent after being outrighted off New York's 40-man roster and eventually signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates in March. German could eventually become a rotation option for Pittsburgh later this season, but it's unlikely to be anytime soon.

Pirates' Domingo German: Brought into Pirates' camp
German signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday and was invited to major-league spring training, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Despite throwing the 24th perfect game in MLB history last season, German turned in only a 4.56 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 108.2 innings for the Yankees. The right-hander will be given a chance to prove himself during the final weeks of spring training, and he will make $1.25 million this season if he makes the MLB roster. His new deal also includes a $2.25 million club option for 2025.

Domingo German: Becomes free agent
German (personal) elected to become a free agent Monday.
The transaction comes a few days after German was removed from the Yankees' 40-man roster. Beyond his uneven performance on the field, German has had multiple off-the-field issues which figure to impact his allure as a free agent.

Yankees' Domingo German: Outrighted off 40-man roster
The Yankees outrighted German (personal) to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
German missed the final two months of the 2023 season after voluntarily submitting to inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse in early August. The 31-year-old right-hander has now been removed from the 40-man roster in New York and can head into free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Yankees' Domingo German: Goes on restricted list
German was placed on the restricted list Wednesday after agreeing to voluntarily submit to inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse.
"It is critical that Domingo completely focuses on addressing his health and well-being," reads a statement from the Yankees. "We will respect his privacy as he begins this process." Nestor Cortes (shoulder) has cut short his minor-league rehab assignment and is presumably going to take over German's spot in the rotation beginning Saturday against the Astros. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said German will not return this season, per Andy Martino of SNY.tv.

Yankees' Domingo German: Enters in relief Monday
German (arm) threw five scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Rays. He gave up two hits and two walks and struck out four in a no-decision.
German was originally scheduled to start Monday, only for the Yankees to scratch him hours before the contest after manager Aaron Boone said the right-hander experienced discomfort in his armpit area Sunday. The Yankees planned to have him visit a doctor shortly before the game, and German was apparently given the green light to work out of the bullpen after starter Jhony Brito was lifted after giving up five runs in four innings. Based on how he fared in relief Monday, German looks to be fully healthy, so he should be ready to return to a traditional starting role when his next turn in the rotation comes up this weekend versus the Astros.
