Cuas

Cuas returns to the Royals; the organization he’s had the most MLB success with in his short career. The 31-year-old will need to have a strong spring training if he’s going to join the Kansas City bullpen.

Cuas was in camp this spring with the Phillies after making 13 relief appearances last year between the Cubs and Blue Jays. The 30-year-old righty provides Atlanta with some extra organizational relief depth. He holds a serviceable 4.37 ERA across 119 1/3 innings (132 appearances) in the majors since 2022.

Castro represents the lone position player shipped out to minor league camp in the latest batch of Phillies cuts. There are a handful of notable relief options sent packing here with Vespi, McMillion, Zuniga, Cuas and Kuhnel all likely to get chances in Philadelphia as middle relief depth. Aoyagi pitched well in three spring appearances after signing a minor-league contract with the Phillies. He’ll open the year back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley as extra depth.

Cuas went unclaimed after being designated for assignment near the end of December. The right-hander could elect free agency, but if not he’ll provide some depth for the Philly staff in the minors for the 2025 campaign.

Cuas has been jettisoned from Philadelphia’s 40-man roster to make room for veteran righty Joe Ross. The 30-year-old reliever was claimed off waivers back in September from the Blue Jays and didn’t end up making an appearance for the Phillies.

Cuas heads to Triple-A Lehigh Valley as extra organizational relief depth after being designated for assignment earlier this week by Toronto. The 30-year-old righty has made 13 relief appearances this season between the Cubs and Blue Jays.

Cuas has been jettisoned from Toronto’s 40-man roster with the club claiming reliever Emmanuel Ramirez off waivers from the Marlins. The 30-year-old righty made just four relief appearances for the Blue Jays after being claimed off waivers back in late June from the Cubs.

Cuas returns to the minors after pitching a scoreless inning last night. He has a 7.71 ERA in 16 1/3 innings for the Cubs and Jays this season.

Cuas has given up three runs in two innings for the Jays and has an 8.22 ERA overall in 15 1/3 innings as a major leaguer this season. He’ll work in middle relief.

The 30-year-old right-hander has struggled in all chances at the big-league level this season, posting a miserable 8.22 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and a 16/7 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings. He’ll continue to work on refining his craft at the Triple-A level. Ryan Burr was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move on Friday.
