The Cardinals selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
After signing a minor-league deal with the Cardinals on Saturday, Strzelecki will now grab a spot in the big-league bullpen, filling the roster spot vacated by Hunter Dobbins. Strzelecki hasn't pitched in the majors since 2024, but he posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB in 32 innings between the Yankees' and Brewers' Triple-A affiliates.

Brewers' Peter Strzelecki: Back with Brewers on MiLB deal
Rotowire
The Brewers signed Strzelecki to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Strzelecki opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees last week after holding a 4.81 ERA and 29:5 K:BB over 24.1 frames at the Triple-A level this season. The 31-year-old came up through the Brewers' minor-league system and first reached the majors with them in 2022, so it's a homecoming of sorts for Strzelecki.

Yankees' Peter Strzelecki: Inks MiLB deal with Yankees
Rotowire
Strzelecki signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Strzelecki elected free agency Wednesday after being DFA'd by the Brewers, and he'll now receive an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in the Yankees organization. He will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, though his career 3.44 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in the majors make him a strong candidate for promotion at some point this season.

Peter Strzelecki: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Strzelecki cleared waivers Wednesday and elected free agency, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Strzelecki was selected to the Brewers' active roster Saturday to provide extra bullpen depth but was DFA'd by the team Sunday without making an appearance. He'll now explore his options in free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed, though he will likely have to settle for another minor-league contract.

Milwaukee selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, but he'll lose his spot without having appeared in a game. The right-hander had a 3.92 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings with Nashville prior to being called up.

Brewers' Peter Strzelecki: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Brewers selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Strzelecki returned to the Brewers on a minor-league deal during the offseason and has begun the 2026 campaign by posting a 3.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP alongside a 21:4 K:BB through 20.2 innings in Triple-A. The 31-year-old righty will now return to the majors for the first time since 2024 and will presumably take on a middle-relief role with the Brewers.

Brewers' Peter Strzelecki: Nets NRI deal from Brewers
Rotowire

Strzelecki was limited to 22 innings at the Triple-A level in 2025 due to a right elbow strain, posting a 9.41 ERA and 18:13 K:BB.

Rays' Peter Strzelecki: Gets MiLB pact from Rays
Rotowire
The Rays signed Strzelecki to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Strzelecki was released by the Pirates last week after holding a 9.90 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 20 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis. The right-handed reliever has pitched well during his chances at the big-league level with a 3.44 ERA and 86:30 K:BB across 83.2 frames. He will give the Rays some experienced relief depth at Triple-A Durham.

Peter Strzelecki: Cut by Bucs
Rotowire
The Pirates released Strzelecki on Tuesday.
Strzelecki gave up just three runs in 11.2 innings with the Guardians last season, but he owns a 9.90 ERA through 20 frames in Triple-A Indianapolis in 2025. He'll now attempt to latch on with another franchise, almost certainly on a minor-league deal.

Pirates' Peter Strzelecki: Outrighted to Indy
Rotowire
Strzelecki cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Strzelecki was stripped of his roster spot at the end of spring training in favor of Ryan Borucki, but the former will stick with the organization at Indianapolis. Strzelecki turned in a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings with the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate last year, and a repeat of those numbers in 2025 would make it hard for him to return to the majors anytime soon.

Pirates' Peter Strzelecki: DFA'd by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
General manager Ben Cherington said Wednesday that Strzelecki will be designated for assignment, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The right-hander was unable to earn a place on the Pirates' Opening Day roster after being acquired from the Guardians in November, and he'll also lose his place on the 40-man roster to free up space for non-roster invitee Ryan Borucki. Strzelecki had a 2.31 ERA in 10 appearances with Cleveland in 2024 but also struggled to a 5.01 ERA at the Triple-A level.

Pirates' Peter Strzelecki: Shipped to Pittsburgh
Rotowire
The Guardians traded Strzelecki to the Pirates on Friday in exchange for cash.
The right-hander was designated for assignment Tuesday in order to make room for Franco Aleman on the Guardians' 40-man roster, but Strzelecki will now claim a spot on Pittsburgh's 40-man instead. The 30-year-old put up a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings in the minors last season, and he will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen during spring training.

Guardians' Peter Strzelecki: Ousted from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Guardians designated Strzelecki for assignment Tuesday.
Strzelecki was effective during his time in the majors last season, allowing just three runs over 11.2 innings with the Guardians. However, his 5.01 ERA at Triple-A Columbus makes him significantly less reliable than his MLB stat line would suggest, so the team will strip him of his 40-man spot and use it to protect fellow right-hander Franco Aleman from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.
