Nationals released RHP Zach Davies.

Davies has been granted his release after failing to land a spot in Washington’s season-opening rotation as a non-roster invitee. The soft-tossing 31-year-old righty was lit up for nine runs over 3 2/3 innings earlier this week against the Cardinals in his final spring start.

Bryce Eldridge (wrist) told reporters on Tuesday that he’s a full go for the start of spring training.

The 21-year-old slugger underwent surgery in October to remove a bone spur from his wrist. While it delayed his usual offseason routine, Eldridge said he has been swinging a bat since mid-December and won’t have any restrictions in spring training. Eldridge and Rafael Devers are expected to cover the first base and designated hitter spots in the Giants’ lineup for the upcoming season.

Aaron Civale

FA Starting Pitcher #38
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Athletics have reached an agreement on a contract with free agent right-hander Aaron Civale.

Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam of MassLive.com report that it will be a one-year, major league contract while Jeff Passan of ESPN adds that it will be for $6 million. The 30-year-old righty made 23 appearances (18 starts) between the Brewers, White Sox and Cubs in 2025, posting a 4.85 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and an 88/33 K/BB ratio over 102 innings. He’ll give the A’s a capable veteran option to fill out the back end of their Opening Day rotation.

Andrew Puk

AZ Pitcher #33

A.J. Puk (elbow) told reporters, including Jack Sommers of Sports Illustrated, that he plans to return to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen before July.

The 30-year-old southpaw underwent his Tommy John surgery in June, so a return in June, or even July, puts him on the earliest possible end of his timeline. He’s on track to start throwing off of a mound in March, so it sounds like he may be ahead of schedule, but June still seems like an optimistic estimate. Either way though, the Diamondbacks should be expecting to get a major boost to their bullpen for the second half of the season.

Justin Martinez

AZ Pitcher #63

Justin Martinez (elbow) told reporters on Tuesday that he’s targeting August for a return to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.

The 24-year-old hurler underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last June. It’s possible that he’s being a bit optimistic with that return date, but it sounds like everything has gone smoothly in his recovery to this stage. Getting him back at all in 2026 would provide a welcomed late-season boost to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.

Jonah Heim

ATL Catcher #28

According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the Braves are in agreement on a contract with free agent catcher Jonah Him.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com notes that it will be a one-year, major league contract. No word yet on the financial terms of the deal. Heim slashed just .213/.271/.332 with 11 homers and 43 RBI in 433 plate appearances with the Rangers in 2025. With Sean Murphy expected to be sidelined until May, Heim could break camp with the Braves as the primary backup behind Drake Baldwin.

Wyatt Mills

LAD Relief Pitcher #41

Dodgers re-signed RHP Wyatt Mills to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Mills finished out last year in the Dodgers organization, though he didn’t get into a game. The right-hander showed some promise with the Red Sox in 2022, but he had Tommy John the following year and hasn’t pitched in the majors since. He had a 3.12 ERA and a 49/30 K/BB in 52 innings for Boston’s Triple-A team last season.

Jordan Weems

LAD Relief Pitcher #51

Dodgers signed LHP Jordan Weems to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Weems, 33, has pitched 160 major league innings since debuting in 2020, amassing a 5.51 ERA with a 161/80 K/BB. He gave up seven earned runs and failed to strike out a batter in 4 1/3 innings for Houston last year.

Seby Zavala

LAD Catcher #38

Dodgers signed C Seby Zavala to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Zavala, 32, hit .165/.274/.340 in 67 games for Boston’s Triple-A affiliate last season. The journeyman will battle for a spot on the Dodgers’ Triple-A roster and is more likely to stick in the organization if Ben Rortvedt gets claimed on waivers at the end of the spring.

Nick Senzel

LAD Center Fielder #15

Dodgers re-signed OF Nick Senzel to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Senzel, the second overall pick in the 2016 draft, hit .252/.341/.408 with 12 homers in 99 games in the Dodgers system last year, the first season since 2018 in which he failed to appear in the majors. He’s a career .232/.299/.363 in 1,633 plate appearances with the Reds, Nationals and White Sox.

Konnor Pilkington

DET Starting Pitcher #45

Tigers signed LHP Konnor Pilkington to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Pilkington could have stayed with the Nationals after going unclaimed on waivers last week, but he’s instead joining a superior team that has much less room for him. The 28-year-old Pilkington has a 3.97 ERA in 11 starts and 37 relief appearances as a major leaguer, though all of those starts came with the Guardians in 2022. He had a 4.45 ERA in 28 1/3 innings out to the pen for the Nationals last season.
