The Angels designated Ort (elbow) for assignment Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Brent Suter. Ort has been in three organizations already this offseason and could make it a fourth as he goes back on waivers. He missed the final month of last season with an elbow injury and it's unclear whether he's fully healthy.

EDGE Analysis

After posting a 2.55 ERA and 26:4 K:BB over 24.2 regular-season innings in 2024, Ort regressed to a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings with the Astros in 2025. He also missed the final month of this past season with elbow inflammation, and it's unclear whether he'll be full-go for the start of spring training. Ort is out of minor-league options.

The Yankees designated Ort (elbow) for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Michael Siani. Ort was a waiver claim himself earlier this month, and because he has the ability to refuse an outright assignment, his stint in the Yankees organization will likely be ending soon. The righty reliever posted a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings with the Astros in 2025 and missed the final month of the season with elbow inflammation.

He also missed the final month of the season with elbow inflammation, although it would seem the Yankees believe that the injury is behind him.

EDGE Analysis

Ort posted a 4.89 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 46 innings with the Astros in 2025 before missing the final month of the season due to elbow inflammation. He'll now lose his place on Houston's 40-man roster to make room for Tatsuya Imai.

Ort (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Ort (elbow) could return from the 15-day injured list at some point during the postseason in a "best-case scenario," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ort was placed on the IL on Friday due to right elbow inflammation, and Brown noted that the 33-year-old will be shut down from throwing for another 12-to-14 days before being re-evaluated prior to the final week of the regular season, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Though Ort doesn't look like he has a chance at making it back from the IL for Astros' season-ending road trip, he shouldn't require an extensive ramp-up period once he resumes throwing and could be available for the playoffs. Ort has mostly been used in middle relief this season, logging a 4.89 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 49:27 K:BB across 46 innings while nabbing two wins, one save and three holds in 49 appearances.

It was just the second save of the 33-year-old's career, and he now owns a 4.36 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 46:25 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season.
