The Boston Red Sox signed free-agent veteran right-hander Kyle Barraclough to a minor-league deal on Monday, according to a source. Barraclough will return to the big leagues after pitching in the Atlantic League for the High Point Rockers. He made only eight appearances out of the bullpen last year for the Los Angeles Angels, giving up three runs on seven hits while walking four and striking out nine in nine innings. The 33-year-old will most likely join Triple-A Worcester while providing the ...

The Minnesota Twins selected the contracts of pitchers Andrew Albers and Kyle Barraclough from Triple-A on Thursday, the team announced in a press release. These were the corresponding moves to the placement of Lewis Thorpe on the 10-day injured list and the optioning of Edgar Garcia to Triple-A. Albers has not pitched in the majors since 2017, where he went 5-1 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.293 WHIP and 20.8 percent strikeout rate over 41 innings with Seattle. He's looked decent at Triple-A this year,...

The Minnesota Twins have signed relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough to a minor league deal. The veteran righty reliever was released by the New York Yankees earlier this month. Before getting cut, Barraclough posted a 4.21 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 24/11 K/BB ratio across 14 innings in Triple-A. He has not pitched in the MLB since the 2019 season where he finished with a horrendous 5.61 ERA. Barraclough was a reliable and productive reliever earlier in his career with the Miami Marlins. Possibly, there is...

Right-handed pitcher Kyle Barraclough has inked a Minor League deal with the New York Yankees that includes an invite to Major League Spring Training later in February. Barraclough has not pitched in the big leagues since 2019 when he posted a 5.61 ERA across 43 appearances split between Miami and San Francisco. Having served as the Marlins' closer as recently as the '18 season, Barraclough posted impressive Statcast metrics during his time with the club, something that the Yankees can hope to ...

The San Diego Padres signed relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough to a minor league deal on Tuesday. The 29-year-old will also receive an invite to the Friars major league camp. Barraclough owns a 3.53 career ERA (3.84 FIP) across 252 1/3 innings, with his best years being 2015-2017 with the Miami Marlins. The Padres bullpen was broadly disappointing in 2019 so the righty has a decent chance to crack the team. Barraclough wont have any fantasy value going into drafts but could become a cheap source ...

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough has been claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants on Friday. He was designated for assignment by the Nats after posting a 6.66 ERA through 33 appearances. He has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, but is under team control through 2021. Barraclough doesn't have any fantasy value right now, but hopefully he'll be able to figure it out in the minors.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough has been optioned to Triple-A Harrisburg on Saturday. He gave up a three-run home run to Justin Turner on Friday, and it sounds like the Nats have seen enough to make a move. Barraclough has allowed eight home runs over 25 2/3 innings this season. He has a horrendous 6.66 ERA, and should be on the waiver wire in every format.
