Rotowire
Krook was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Krook has spent the majority of 2024 campaign with Triple-A Norfolk, where he'll likely remain if he clears waivers. The left-hander owns a 4.11 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 41 strikeouts over 35 innings in 34 appearances out of Norfolk's bullpen this year. With the Orioles acquiring a handful of players during Tuesday's trade deadline, Krook appears to have been one of the odd men out on the 40-man roster.

Yankees' Matt Krook: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
Krook was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Tuesday.
He's losing his spot on the 40-man roster to Jordan Groshans, who was claimed off waivers. Krook, 29, was roughed up for 11 runs over four innings during his time with the Yankees in 2023. He did collect a 1.32 ERA with 55 strikeouts over 34 innings at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season in his first year as a full-time reliever, so perhaps there will be interest on waivers if a team can stomach his control problems.
