Giants claimed RHP Eric Cerantola off waivers from the Royals.

Cerantola will remain stationed at Triple-A Sacramento as additional relief depth for the Giants. He figures to arrive in the Bay Area once the front office begins dealing away some of their high-priced veterans ahead of next month’s trade deadline. The 26-year-old rookie was hit hard in four relief outings for the Royals.

KC Relief Pitcher #61

Royals designated RHP Eric Cerantola for assignment.

It’s been a tough week for the 26-year-old right-hander as he was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday and now gets booted from the team’s 40-man roster to make room for Luke Maile on Thursday. It seems likely that he’ll slip through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Royals.

KC Relief Pitcher #61

Royals optioned RHP Eric Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha.

Cerantola heads back to the minors after allowing six runs over 5 1/3 innings for the Royals since early May. He’ll be an up-and-down middle relief option for Kansas City moving forward.

Royals recalled RHP Eric Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha.

Cerantola fortifies Kansas City’s beleaguered bullpen in the wake of Friday’s calamitous 22-1 defeat at the hands of the upstart White Sox. The 26-year-old rookie has allowed four runs over four innings for the Royals this season in his first shot at the highest level.

Royals optioned RHP Eric Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha.

Cerantola’s stay with the Royals lasted just two games this time around, giving up a solo homer and striking out a pair of batters in his lone inning of work against the Rangers on Friday. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth at the Triple-A level for the Royals.

KC Relief Pitcher #61

Royals recalled RHP Eric Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha.

The 26-year-old right-hander has made two appearances with the Royals so far this season, posting a 9.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 5/4 K/BB ratio over three innings of work. He’s taking the spot of Nick Mears who landed on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement on Friday. Expect Cerantola to work in a middle relief role for manager Matt Quatraro.

Royals optioned RHP Eric Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha.

Cerantola made two appearances in two days with the Royals, walking four and giving up three runs in three innings. Now he’s going back down in exchange for a fresh arm.

KC Starting Pitcher #61

Royals recalled RHP Eric Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha.

Cerantola receives his first call up to the big leagues to provide Kansas City with some additional bullpen depth. The 26-year-old righty has posted a solid 1.42 ERA and 18/6 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings for Triple-A Omaha this season. He’ll likely operate in middle relief situations.
Eric Cerantola

KC Pitcher #87

Royals optioned RHP Eric Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha.

Cerantola forged a 4.04 ERA for Omaha in 2025, but it came with 63 strikeouts in 49 innings. He could be a bullpen option at some point in 2026 for Kansas City.
Tyler Gentry

KC Right Fielder #27

Royals optioned LHP Noah Cameron, RHP Eric Cerantola, and OF Tyler Gentry to Triple-A Omaha and reassigned RHP Anthony Simonelli, RHP Junior Fernandez and C Kyle Hayes to minor league camp.

Gentry will likely see time for the Royals, but likely as a backup outfielder. Cameron and Cerantola both could make appearances in roles that offer no fantasy intrigue in 2025.

The Blue Jays are hopeful that Scherzer hasn’t lost most of his buildup from before suffering a setback with his injured thumb and that he’ll be able to resume his minor league rehab assignment soon. He’s still not expected to be ready to join the club’s rotation until August.

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Shohei Ohtani (knee) will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Phillies.

Roberts noted that the team has decided to take a cautious approach with Ohtani’s injured left knee and the 32-year-old superstar will not pitch for an undetermined amount of time. It remains unclear if the Dodgers will stick with a six-man rotation while Ohtani is shelved or go with a traditional five-man alignment for the time being.
