Mazza will throw for teams Sunday in St. Petersburg, Florida, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza hasn't pitched professionally since 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. It's unclear how many teams may attend his throwing session, though he may land a minor-league deal.

Mazza (elbow) will throw off a mound for interested teams in July or August, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza, 34, missed the entire 2023 season following Tommy John surgery. The right-hander evidently is hoping to be ready to contribute to some team in the second half, although he might wind up having to wait until 2025.

Mazza signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza didn't take much time to find a new organization after he elected free agency last week when the Rays remove him from their 40-man roster. Prior to moving on from Tampa Bay, Mazza appeared in two games for the big club and gave up seven earned runs on nine hits and six walks over 5.1 innings. He's expected to report to Triple-A Tacoma as he begins his tenure with the Mariners.

Mazza cleared waivers and elected free agency Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza was designated for assignment by the Rays on Monday and will choose to become a free agent rather than reporting to Triple-A Durham. He allowed seven runs in 5.1 innings over two relief appearances in the majors this year.

Mazza (back) was activated off the 60-day injured list and designated for assignment Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza had been out since late April with lower-back spasms. He's been on a rehab assignment for a full month but wasn't particularly good, posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 13 innings of work. His rehab window is now up, and the Rays determined he hadn't shown enough to be worth a 40-man roster spot, so he'll now be available for other teams to claim off waivers.

Mazza (back) has turned in a 4.85 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB across 13 innings in his eight appearances with Triple-A Durham since starting a rehab assignment May 20.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza's 30-day rehab window will come to a close during the upcoming week, so the Rays will have to decide whether to keep him at Durham upon his activation from the 60-day injured or to have him join the big club. If he does stick with the parent club once activated, Mazza is likely to work in a low-leverage long-relief role.

Mazza (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza is slated to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham on Friday, but he won't be eligible to return from the injured list until at least June 17 following Wednesday's transaction. It doesn't appear as though the right-hander is dealing with a setback, but the move will create space on the 40-man roster for Luke Bard, whose contract was selected Wednesday.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Mazza (back) will make a one-inning rehab appearance at Triple-A Durham on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza has been on the shelf since April 22 with back spasms, so the Rays may want to have him make multiple appearances in the minors before bringing him back on the 10-day injured list. Once he's formally reinstated, Mazza is expected to serve as a low-leverage, multi-inning option out of the Tampa Bay bullpen.

Mazza's back recently "locked up again," halting his rehab progress, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza was placed on the injured list April 23 due to back spasms. Though he's eligible to return, he has continued to experience discomfort and his activation does not appear imminent. Prior to being sidelined, Mazza had been hit hard as a bulk reliever, as he has an 11.81 ERA and 2.81 WHIP with a 5:6 K:BB across 5.1 frames.

Mazza was still feeling discomfort in his back Tuesday, CJ Haddad of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazza was placed on the injured list on April 23 due to back spasms, though the date was retroactive to April 18. That makes it likely that he will not be activated when first eligible Thursday. Prior to being sidelined, Mazza had allowed seven earned runs across 5.1 innings.
