Al Alburquerque

FA Relief Pitcher #51

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Al Alburquerque (elbow) remains on track to begin a throwing program during the latter part of spring training.

Alburquerque underwent surgery in mid-December to repair a stress fracture in his right elbow. The 25-year-old right-hander is currently focused on shoulder and elbow strengthening exercises in hopes of getting clearance to throw by mid-March. However, he is expected to be sidelined until at least the All-Star break.

Garrett Cleavinger

TB Relief Pitcher #60

Garrett Cleavinger (calf) threw 2/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

Cleavinger only threw five pitches in this outing, all strikes, but it also marked his second night of back-to-back appearances. That was allegedly the final hurdle he needed to clear before rejoining the Rays’ bullpen, so that could happen as early as this weekend.

José Suarez

ATL Relief Pitcher #54

Braves designated LHP José Suarez for assignment.

After posting good results in a small sample last season, Suarez has a 6.61 ERA in 16 1/3 innings this year. He could rejoin the Braves on a minor league deal if/when he clears waivers.

Joel Payamps

ATL Relief Pitcher #34

Braves designated RHP Joel Payamps for assignment.

It’s unclear what has happened to Payamps. From the beginning of the 2021 season through the 2024 season, Payamps had a 3.01 ERA, 15.4 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate, and nine saves in 233 1/3 innings. That gave him the 34th-best WAR among all relief pitchers with at least 200 innings over that span. However, he has not been the same pitcher over the last two seasons. Perhaps somebody else will take a chance on the 32-year-old.

Anthony Molina

ATL Relief Pitcher #43

Braves recalled RHP Anthony Molina from Triple-A Gwinnett

Molina has a 4.50 ERA in 14 Triple-A innings this year with a 10/4 K/BB ratio. He has a 6.96 career ERA in 94 1/3 MLB innings.

Hunter Stratton

ATL Relief Pitcher #65

Braves recalled RHP Hunter Stratton from Triple-A Gwinnett

Stratton has a 4.50 ERA in 12 innings in Triple-A this season with an 18/9 K/BB ratio. He has a 3.80 ERA in 59 career MLB appearances, mostly with the Pirates.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported that Wyatt Langford (forearm) is not expected to be activated from the injured list this weekend.

That had been the expectation, but Langord played in a rehab game in Arizona on Thursday night and felt some “residual soreness” in his forearm. The setback isn’t expected to be a long one, maybe a couple of days, but it will mean that Langford is unlikely to return for this weekend series against the Blue Jays.

Brandyn Garcia

AZ Relief Pitcher #55

Diamondbacks recalled LHP Brandyn Garcia from Triple-A Reno

Garcia has a 2.19 ERA with an 18/10 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings in Triple-A. He has real swing-and-miss stuff, but his lack of command will keep him in the middle innings for now.

Philip Abner

AZ Relief Pitcher #50

Diamondbacks optioned LHP Philip Abner to Triple-A Reno

Abner threw 2 1/3 innings on Thursday, allowing two runs on one hit. The Diamondbacks will get a fresh arm up in the bullpen, but the 23-year-old should get another chance later this season.

Aramis Garcia

AZ Catcher #66

Diamondbacks designated C Aramis Garcia for assignment.

With Gabriel Moreno (oblique) back from the injured list, the Diamondbacks no longer needed Garcia on the active roster. He went 1-for-3 in three appearances for Arizona this year.

Gabriel Moreno

AZ Catcher #14

Diamondbacks activated C Gabriel Moreno (oblique) from the 10-day injured list.

Moreno wound up missing a little over two weeks with his oblique injury. He should return right back into the Diamondbacks’ lineup, but doesn’t need to be rostered in fantasy leagues outside of two-catcher formats since he’s a bit of an empty batting average.
