Royals' Connor Seabold: Placed on IL with strained lat
Rotowire
The Royals placed Seabold on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right lat strain.
Seabold had to be pulled from an appearance Tuesday against the Rays because of the injury. The severity of the strain is unclear, but even a mild one could result in an absence beyond the 15-day minimum. Seabold has pitched for three different teams this season, collecting a 5.25 ERA and 20:11 K:BB across 24 frames.

Blue Jays' Connor Seabold: Traded to Blue Jays
Rotowire
The Blue Jays acquired Seabold from the Tigers on Wednesday in exchange for Juanmi Vasquez.
Seabold had been designated for assignment by Detroit and is now headed to a new organization. He was with the Blue Jays during spring training but was a late roster cut before linking up with Detroit. The 30-year-old held a 3.45 ERA and 14:5 K:BB over 15.2 innings out of the Tigers' bullpen and will give the Blue Jays some additional length in their relief corps.

Tigers' Connor Seabold: Effective in team debut
Rotowire
Seabold tossed 2.1 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Padres. He allowed one hit and struck out three.
After Detroit starter Jack Flaherty allowed three runs (two earned) while covering only 4.1 innings, Seabold was needed to cover a few frames. The righty looked sharp across 50 pitches in his team debut, and he managed to keep the Tigers in the game after Flaherty's ineffective outing. It looks like Seabold, who has made 19 starts at the MLB level in his career, will be tasked with a long-relief role in Detroit.

Tigers' Connor Seabold: Will begin season in big leagues
Rotowire
The Tigers announced Monday that Seabold will be listed on the Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Seabold agreed to a split major-league contract with the Tigers earlier Monday, and it didn't take long for the club to confirm that the right-hander will start the year in the major leagues. The 30-year-old is presumably in line for low-leverage opportunities with his new squad after working to a 4.35 ERA in 10.1 innings during stops in Tampa Bay and Atlanta a season ago. "We're happy to add him," said manager A.J. Hinch, per Petzold. "We really like the adjustment that he made, with both his stuff and the way his pitches are interacting. As his stuff improved, he got a ton of swing-and-miss this spring."

The Blue Jays granted Seabold his release Saturday.
Seabold tallied an impressive 13 strikeouts in just 6.2 innings this spring, but he did so while allowing five earned runs to score. Now a free agent, he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league contract after posting a 6.07 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 69.2 Triple-A frames in 2025.

Braves' Connor Seabold: Recalled by Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Seabold from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Seabold was claimed off waivers earlier this month and is now headed to the majors. The right-hander has permitted one run with a 5:3 K:BB over 6.2 frames at the big-league level this season. Seabold has made 10 starts in 2025 at the Triple-A level, so he has the ability to eat up some innings out of the bullpen.

Rotowire
Atlanta claimed Seabold off waivers from Tampa Bay on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Though he'll report to Triple-A, Seabold will provide Atlanta with organizational starting pitching depth as the big club navigates numerous injuries to its rotation. Seabold made a pair of multi-inning relief appearances for Tampa Bay but has primarily worked out of the rotation at Triple-A Durham this season, logging a 6.49 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 57:26 K:BB across 61 innings.

Rays' Connor Seabold: Opening season in minors
Rotowire
The Rays reassigned Seabold to minor-league camp Sunday.
Seabold previously made 19 starts at the big-league level between stops with the Red Sox and Rockies from 2021 through 2023, but he fell short in his bid for a spot in the Rays' Opening Day rotation. The 29-year-old right-hander will head to Triple-A Durham to begin the campaign, but after excelling in the Korea Baseball Organization with the Samsung Lions last season and acquitting himself well in Grapefruit League play this spring (4.91 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .171 batting average against in 11 innings), Seabold could be in the mix for starts with the Rays later on in 2025.

Connor Seabold: Released by Rockies

Rockies' Connor Seabold: Struggles again Saturday
Rotowire
Seabold (1-7) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Yankees.
Seabold has completely fallen apart with 30 runs allowed over his last 19 innings. All of them have been earned, and yielding 10 home runs in that span certainly isn't helping his cause, though half of those long balls have come in his two road starts in that span. Seabold now has a 7.18 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB through 72.2 innings on the year. Despite the crooked numbers, the Rockies are currently lacking in pitching depth, so he can be tentatively projected to make a road start in Miami next week.

Rockies' Connor Seabold: Early exit against Giants
Rotowire
Seabold (1-6) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 3.2 innings as the Rockies were downed 5-3 by the Giants. He struck out three.
The right-hander needed 73 pitches (47 strikes) to record just 11 outs as he failed to complete four innings for the second time in his last four outings. Seabold is proving to be overmatched as a rotation option. losing four straight starts and posting a 12.96 ERA and 1.92 WHIP over that stretch, but Colorado doesn't have any clear alternatives to replace him after the All-Star break.

Rockies' Connor Seabold: Gives up four runs in five innings
Rotowire
Seabold (1-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.
After being scratched from his last start with a right arm issue, Seabold turned in a solid outing against one of MLB's top offenses. Though Seabold owns a 6.19 ERA as a starter this season, he registered a 4.50 ERA over his first eight starts (40 innings) before giving up a combined 13 runs across his last two appearances. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively lined up to come against the Giants at Oracle Park.
