Rotowire
The Giants signed Honeywell to a minor-league contract Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The 30-year-old has made 63 appearances (three starts) at the big-league level, collecting a 4.10 ERA and 67:37 K:BB over 94.1 innings. Honeywell is likely ticketed for Triple-A Sacramento to begin the 2026 campaign.

Rotowire
The Dodgers non-tendered Honeywell on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Honeywell ended the 2024 regular season on the Dodgers' 15-day injured list due to a cracked right fingernail, but he was added to the NLCS roster against the Mets. Honeywell made three postseason appearances, allowing nine earned runs on nine hits and three walks across 8.2 innings. The 29-year-old will enter free agency and look to sign with a team in need of right-handed bullpen depth.

Honeywell (finger) is part of Los Angeles' roster for the NLCS versus the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Dodgers' Brent Honeywell: Cast off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Dodgers designated Honeywell for assignment Sunday.
Honeywell was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on July 13 after being DFA'd by the Pirates one day earlier. In his 10 outings with the Dodgers, Honeywell picked up one save while logging a 2.21 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 20.1 innings. The 29-year-old could garner some interest on the waiver wire from a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers selected the contract of right-hander Ben Casparius from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Honeywell picked up the save Thursday against the Giants, allowing one hit and no walks with a strikeout across a scoreless inning.
Honeywell was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on July 13 and had fired seven scoreless innings leading up to Thursday's save chance. Interestingly, Daniel Hudson and Evan Phillips -- the Dodgers' primary ninth-inning options -- pitched the sixth and seventh, leaving Honeywell to snare his first save of 2024. It's unclear if Honeywell will be in line for more save chances going forward, but Phillips has struggled in his past 10 outings with four homers allowed and a 9.35 ERA.
Dodgers' Brent Honeywell: Impressive in team debut
Rotowire
Honeywell allowed one hit over three shutout frames during the Dodgers' loss to Detroit on Sunday. He struck out two batters.
Honeywell was scooped off waivers by the Dodgers on Saturday and was thrown right into action. He was efficient, throwing 24 of 36 pitches for strikes and retiring the first eight batters he faced. With all the injuries the Dodgers are dealing with in the pitching staff right now, Honeywell could continue working as a multi-inning opener or bulk relief option. He's given up one run in 6.1 innings this season with the Dodgers and Pirates.
