Cubs' Doug Nikhazy: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Cubs outrighted Nikhazy to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.
He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Nikhazy has collected an 8.44 ERA and 30:21 K:BB over 26.2 innings covering six starts and two relief outings with Triple-A Iowa this season.

Cubs' Doug Nikhazy: Removed from 40-man roster
The Cubs designated Nikhazy for assignment Monday.
Nikhazy was a casualty of the Cubs needing to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of right-hander Yosver Zulueta, who was acquired via trade. A waiver claim by the Cubs in late April, Nikhazy has turned in an 8.44 ERA and 30:21 K:BB over 26.2 innings covering six starts and two relief outings with Triple-A Iowa.

Cubs' Doug Nikhazy: Goes to Cubs via waivers
The Cubs claimed Nikhazy off waivers from the White Sox on Tuesday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
It's the third organization this month for Nikhazy, who went from the Guardians to the White Sox via waivers three-plus weeks ago. The left-hander holds an 8.71 ERA and 10:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings in the minors this season and will report to Triple-A Iowa.

White Sox's Doug Nikhazy: Returned to Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
The left-hander was called up by Chicago on Friday and will return to the minors after giving up a run over two innings versus the A's in his team debut. Nikhazy's roster spot will be taken by Osvaldo Bido, who is joining the active roster Sunday after being claimed off waivers.

White Sox's Doug Nikhazy: Recalled Friday
The White Sox recalled Nikhazy from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
The 26-year-old southpaw's last minor-league appearance was Tuesday against Jacksonville, when he allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four across four scoreless frames. Bikhazy has started in his two outings in Triple-A this season, but he'll likely serve out of the White Sox's bullpen in a long-relief role. Tyler Gilbert was optioned to Charlotte in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Doug Nikhazy: Scooped up by ChiSox
The White Sox claimed Nikhazy off waivers from the Guardians on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.
Nikhazy was buried on the Guardians' starting pitching depth chart, but he should have a better chance at emerging as a big-league rotation option for the White Sox at some point later on in 2026. The southpaw made two appearances in the majors for Cleveland last season but otherwise spent the entire campaign at Triple-A Columbus, producing a 5.02 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 87:43 K:BB across 86 innings.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: DFA'd by Cleveland
The Guardians designated Nikhazy for assignment Monday.
The move opens a spot on the 40-man roster for Kolby Allard, whose contract was selected by the Guardians from Triple-A Columbus. Nikhazy opened the season in Triple-A after being optioned in early March, but he'll likely stay in the organization given that he has two minor-league options left, assuming he clears waivers.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Optioned to Triple-A
The Guardians optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Nikhazy entered spring training as an unlikely candidate to make the Guardians' Opening Day roster, and the 27-year-old southpaw will indeed open the 2026 season in the minors. He spent most of the 2025 campaign in Triple-A, where he went 5-7 in 21 games (19 starts) while posting a 5.02 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 87:43 K:BB across 86 innings. Nikhazy appeared in two regular-season games for Cleveland in 2025 and could see some starts in the majors in 2026 when the Guardians need an extra arm in the rotation.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Returns from IL
Nikhazy (elbow) struck out three batters and allowed one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings Saturday for Triple-A Columbus after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.
Nikhazy was on the shelf for just over a month due to a left elbow impingement. The left-hander didn't require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Columbus rotation, though he was eased back into action Saturday with a light workload.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Out with elbow injury at Triple-A
Triple-A Columbus placed Nikhazy on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a left elbow impingement.
It's not clear how long Nikhazy's elbow has been bothering him, but he's allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over 10.1 innings in his three starts with Columbus this month. The left-hander is without a clear timeline to return to action for the Triple-A club.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Sent back to Columbus
The Guardians optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.
Just two days after being promoted to Cleveland, Nikhazy will head back to Triple-A following his one-inning shutout performance Friday. His departure clears a spot on the active roster for Paul Sewald (shoulder) to return from the injured list.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Back in Cleveland
The Guardians recalled Nikhazy from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Nikhazy was lit up during his lone MLB outing this season, giving up six runs on five hits and six walks in just three innings against the Red Sox on April 26. Since then, he's posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 49.1 frames at Columbus. The 25-year-old southpaw has worked exclusively as a starter this year, but with Joey Cantillo already slated to start Thursday in place of Luis L. Ortiz (personal), Nikhazy could be ticketed for a bullpen role. Kolby Allard was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Sent back to minors
The Guardians optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Nikhazy was available as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins but did not make an appearance. He will return to the rotation at Columbus, where he's posted a 4.99 ERA and 31:15 K:BB over 30.2 innings covering seven starts.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Serving as 27th man
The Guardians recalled Nikhazy from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Twins.
Nikhazy wasn't available for the resumption of Monday's suspended game earlier in the day, but he'll join the Guardians for Wednesday's regularly scheduled contest before likely heading back to Triple-A. The southpaw will work out of the bullpen for Cleveland this time around after he previously made a spot start in his MLB debut back on April 26 versus the Red Sox.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Optioned after spot start
The Guardians optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Nikhazy was up as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox and struggled in a spot start in his major-league debut, allowing six runs over three innings while taking a loss. The left-hander will now rejoin the rotation at Columbus.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Rough big-league debut Saturday
Nikhazy (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, coughing up six runs on five hits and six walks over three innings. He struck out three.
Making his MLB debut, Nikhazy managed to toss only 50 of his 90 pitches for strikes before getting a merciful hook. The 25-year-old southpaw was making a spot start due to the twin bill, and while he's had some early success at Triple-A Columbus (3.44 ERA, 22:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings) this year, Saturday's performance won't encourage Cleveland to rush him back to the majors the next time the team needs rotation depth.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Serving as 27th man
The Guardians added Nikhazy to the active roster to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Nikhazy will be making his MLB debut while he starts in the nightcap. The 25-year-old posted a 3.44 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 18.1 innings during his four starts in Triple-A, and he'll be welcomed to the majors by a Red Sox offense that currently owns the third-highest OPS (.721) in the American League.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Set to join big club Friday
The Guardians are expected to promote Nikhazy from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Friday's game against the Red Sox, SI.com reports.
Nikhazy had been working as a starter at Columbus, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings. The Guardians intend to deploy Nikhazy out of the bullpen initially, but he could be the next man up to start if an opening emerges in the big-league rotation.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Making MLB debut Saturday
The Guardians plan to recall Nikhazy from Triple-A Columbus to have him start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Red Sox, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
After optioning reliever Zak Kent to Triple-A, Cleveland initially planed to call up Nikhazy on Friday to fill the open spot in its bullpen. However, after Friday's series opener was postponed, Nikhazy's call-up will instead be pushed back a day, and he'll now be in line to start in his MLB debut due to the doubleheader creating a stretch of six games in five days for the Guardians. The 25-year-old lefty had excelled through his first four starts with Columbus this season, logging a 3.44 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings. Cleveland doesn't appear to have a permanent opening in the rotation for Nikhazy, so he could shift to the bullpen or head back to Triple-A following his start Saturday.

Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Moved to Triple-A
The Guardians optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Nikhazy wasn't very effective this spring, giving up seven earned runs on five hits and six walks, though he impressively struck out 12 batters in 8.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track with Columbus, and he could be a candidate to debut at some point this year after posting a 2.87 ERA in Triple-A last season.
