    Angels optioned LHP Mitch Farris to Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Farris has a 4.18 ERA in 47 1/3 innings with the Angels this year, but figured to be unavailable today and the team needed a roster spot for George Klassen’s call up. Farris should be back in short order.

    It’s unclear if Farris will work out of the Angels’ bullpen initially, or if he’ll potentially replace the injured George Klassen (back) in the club’s starting rotation. The 25-year-old left-hander has posted a 4.18 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and a 49/23 K/BB ratio across 47 1/3 innings in 26 appearances on the season.

    With the heart of the order coming up, the Angels used Ryan Zeferjahn with a three-run lead in the eighth today. He retired three out of four hitters to set up Sam Bachman for the save chance. Bachman, though, walked two of the three batters he faced, throwing just seven of his 18 pitches for strikes. Farris replaced him and gave up a two-run double to Luis Arraez with two outs before striking out Heliot Ramos to end the game. Both runs were charged to Bachman, of course. Farris’s first save came in his 22nd relief appearance this year. Zeferjahn still looks like the favorite for saves in Anaheim right now.
  • LAA Relief Pitcher #56
    Mitch Farris did the heavy lifting here, coming in with a 4-2 lead to start the seventh and getting eight outs before exiting with the bases loaded in the ninth. Zeferjahn walked the first batter he faced, forcing in a run, before striking out Cedric Mullins to end it. Unused tonight was nominal Angels closer Kirby Yates, even though he hadn’t pitched since Tuesday. The walk Zeferjahn issued was his 25th in 32 innings, which is why he isn’t serving as the Angels’ closer right now. Still, he’ll be a candidate for more saves if he’s able to cut down on the free passes.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #70
    Farris has started three games in Triple-A this season, but he has been used only as a reliever with the Angels. He will likely continue to serve a multi-inning relief role, but he could be an option in the rotation if there is an injury or regression for a pitcher like Walbert Urena.

    Farris pitched well Monday with 1 2/3 scoreless frames, but his reward for throwing multiple innings is a demotion to Triple-A. Sam Aldegheri represents the fresh arm needed for the Los Angeles bullpen, and Farris should be back with the Halos in the coming weeks.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #70
    Farris provides the Angels with some additional long relief depth heading into Monday’s game against the Braves with starter Ryan Johnson hitting the injured list. The 25-year-old made five spot starts for Los Angeles last year, posting a bloated 6.66 ERA across 24 1/3 innings of work.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #70
    Farris allowed 12 runs on 12 hits in six innings this spring while striking out eight and walking two. He did have a solid season in Double-A last year, so he will look to settle in at Triple-A and prove himself worthy of making his MLB debut this season.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #70
    Farris gave up five hits, walked two and struck out five. The 24-year-old impressed with three earned runs allowed in his first two starts, but has since faltered with 15 earned runs allowed over his last three starts. Farris figures to be in the mix for a spot at the back of the Angels’ rotation next spring.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #70
    Farris gave up eight hits, walked two and struck out five. The 24-year-old has allowed at least five runs in each of his last two starts. Farris’ ERA is 6.52 after three starts. He’s lined up to face the Royals at home in the finals week of the regular season.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #70
    If the Angels were more concerned about winning, they wouldn’t have sent Farris back out to face Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez for a third time tonight. Farris gave up a single to Raleigh and then walked both Rodríguez and Jorge Polanco before finally getting the hook. Chase Silseth took over and managed to strand one of the three runners while getting three outs. Josh Naylor helped a bunch there, getting doubled off first on a fly to right to end the frame. Farris fell to 1-1 with a 4.80 ERA through three starts. He’s due to make his next start in Coors Field against the Rockies.

    Orioles declined OF Luis Robert’s club option for 2027.

    Robert will get a $2 million buyout of the $20 million option. Even though he was limited to 61 games last season and hasn’t been all that productive since 2023, he’ll draw plenty of interest from teams as a potential one-year upside play this winter. He hit .221/.300/.407 in 230 plate appearances for the Mets and Orioles in 2026.

    Orioles sent RHP Colin Selby, RHP Codi Heuer, RHP Albert Suárez and INF/OF José Barrero outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

    Suárez and Barrero declined the assignment and are now free agents. Heuer accepted his, though he’ll still be eligible for minor league free agency. Selby is also still with the organization for now. The 29-year-old missed all of last season with a shoulder injury that led to surgery on his labrum and rotator cuff at the end of July. He’s expected to be sidelined into 2027.

    The Braves are hiring former Astros GM Dana Brown as a senior advisor in their scouting department.

    Brown was the Braves’ VP of scouting from 2019-22 before being hired as the Astros’ GM. Ronit Shah has since replaced him in that role in Atlanta and will keep the gig.

    Rays exercised RHP Drew Rasmussen’s club option for 2027.

    Rasmussen’s option is worth $20 million, up from an original guarantee of $8 million. He’ll be a free agent after next season, so going by the Rays’ usual modus operandi, he should be viewed as a trade candidate this winter. Hopefully, though, they’ll try to make another World Series run with their ace.

    Emilio Pagán declined his $10 million player option for 2027.

    Pagán will now hit free agency after forging a 3.38 ERA and 25 saves in 2026 for Cincinnati over his 45 appearances with a 45/11 K/BB in 42 2/3 innings. At the age of 35, Pagán is likely looking at a one or two-year deal, but it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if he was closing for someone in 2027.

    Reds declined the $8 million mutual option for 2027 on RHP Pierce Johnson.

    Johnson is now a free agent. The right-hander was ineffective in his first — and likely last — season with the Reds with a 4.62 ERA over 55 appearances. His success in previous seasons gives him a chance to earn an MLB job in 2027, but at a smaller salary than the one he would have earned had the mutual option been picked up.

    Reds declined the $16 million mutual option for INF Eugenio Suárez for the 2027 season.

    Suárez is now a free agent. The infielder/DH did hit 26 homers in his return to Cincinnati, but he did so with just a .212 average while striking out 169 times in 498 at-bats. The 35-year-old should see a market because of his power, but the defensive limitations on top of the contact issues will mean he’s assuredly going to be playing for under that $16 million threshold in 2027.

    Cubs re-signed RHP Gabe Klobosits to a minor league contract.

    After three years in indy ball, Klobosits had a 3.51 ERA in 33 1/3 innings for the Cubs’ Triple-A Iowa affiliate last season. His lone major league experience came with the Nationals in 2021, when he had a 5.56 ERA in 11 1/3 innings out of the pen.

    The Hanwha Eagles are immediately posting third baseman Si Hwan Roh, making him available to MLB teams.

    Roh, 25, hit .283/.360/.505 with 29 homers in 127 games for Hanwha last season. His best season came in 2023, when he finished with a .929 OPS that was more than 200 points better than the league average in the KBO. The last two years, he’s been about 120 points better than the league average, and his strikeout rate has increased; in 2026, he fanned 25.7 percent of the team in a league with a 19.5 percent strikeout rate overall. He’s also not viewed as a particularly strong defender at third base. His power is intriguing, but he might fall short of being a quality MLB regular.

    Rangers selected the contract of RHP Aidan Curry from Double-A Frisco.

    Curry, who could have become a minor league free agent, gets a spot on the 40-man after posting a 4.93 ERA and a 128/55 K/BB in 104 innings between three levels in 2026, with about two-thirds of his innings coming in Double-A. He has a starter’s arsenal and plenty of ability to miss bats, but he’s still probably going to be a reliever in the majors until his command takes a big step forward.
