Nationals' Richard Lovelady: Claimed by Nationals
The Nationals claimed Lovelady off waivers from the Mets on Thursday.
Lovelady struggled to find his footing in the majors in 2025, finishing the year with an 8.49 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 11.2 innings. Triple-A was a different story, however, as he logged a 1.66 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 38 frames. He'll compete for a spot in Washington's Opening Day bullpen during spring training.

Lovelady was designated for assignment Thursday, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Lovelady re-signed with the Mets in October after closing the 2025 season with the team. He'll likely rejoin the 40-man roster at some point during the 2026 campaign as a depth option out of the bullpen, assuming he clears waivers.

After electing free agency shortly after the end of the regular season, Lovelady will officially reunite with the club that he ended the year with. The 30-year-old coughed up 11 earned runs over 11.2 innings in the majors this year but was much more effective in the minors, logging a 1.66 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 38 frames. He'll presumably be in the running for a spot in New York's Opening Day bullpen.

Mets' Richard Lovelady: Dropped from 40-man
The Mets designated Lovelady for assignment Thursday.
Lovelady gave two runs (one earned) over 3.1 innings after being promoted from Triple-A on Saturday, and he'll now lose his place on the 28-man and 40-man rosters to make room for the arrival of Kevin Herget from Syracuse.

The Twins released Lovelady on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Blue Jays' Richard Lovelady: Booted off 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Lovelady for assignment Sunday.
Lovelady attended spring training as a non-roster invitee and was able to win a spot in Toronto's Opening Day bullpen, but his stay with the big club didn't last long. He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster and in the bullpen to lefty Mason Fluharty, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Lovelady's dismissal comes after he gave up four earned runs on two hits, two walks and three hit batsmen over 1.2 innings between his first two relief appearances of the season.

Blue Jays' Richard Lovelady: Added to 40-man roster
The Blue Jays selected Lovelady's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Manager John Schneider said Monday that Lovelady is still competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but the Blue Jays elected to go ahead and add him to their 40-man roster now, likely due to an opt-out in the reliever's minor-league contract. Lovelady does not have minor-league options left, so he would need to go through waivers first if the club wanted to send him to Buffalo. The southpaw has allowed five runs (four earned) with an 8:3 K:BB in seven innings this spring.
