Triple-A Durham placed Strzelecki on its 7-day injured list Monday due to a right elbow strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki inked a minor-league contract with the Rays earlier this month and had made only two appearances for Durham before getting hurt. The Rays haven't provided a timeline for when he might be ready to return to action for the Triple-A club.

The Rays signed Strzelecki to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki was released by the Pirates last week after holding a 9.90 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 20 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis. The right-handed reliever has pitched well during his chances at the big-league level with a 3.44 ERA and 86:30 K:BB across 83.2 frames. He will give the Rays some experienced relief depth at Triple-A Durham.

The Pirates released Strzelecki on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki gave up just three runs in 11.2 innings with the Guardians last season, but he owns a 9.90 ERA through 20 frames in Triple-A this year. He'll now attempt to latch on with another franchise, almost certainly on a minor-league deal.

Strzelecki cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki was stripped of his roster spot at the end of spring training in favor of Ryan Borucki, but the former will stick with the organization in Triple-A. Strzelecki turned in a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings with the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate last year, and a repeat of those numbers in 2025 would make it hard for him to return to the majors anytime soon.

GM Ben Cherington announced Wednesday that Strzelecki was designated for assignment, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was unable to earn a place on the Pirates' Opening Day roster after being acquired from the Guardians for cash in November, and he'll also lose his place on the 40-man roster to free up space for non-roster invitee Ryan Borucki. Strzelecki had a 2.31 ERA in 10 regular-season appearances with Cleveland last year but also struggled to a 5.01 ERA at the Triple-A level.

The Guardians traded Strzelecki to the Pirates on Friday in exchange for cash.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki was designated for assignment Tuesday in order to make room for Franco Aleman on the Guardians' 40-man roster, but the former will now claim a spot on Pittsburgh's 40-man upon switching organizations. The 30-year-old put up a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings in the minors last season, and he will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen during spring training.

The Guardians designated Strzelecki for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki was effective during his time in the majors last season, allowing just three runs over 11.2 innings with the Guardians. However, his 5.01 ERA at Triple-A Columbus makes him significantly less reliable than his MLB statline would suggest, so the team will strip him of his 40-man spot and use it to protect fellow right-hander Franco Aleman from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.

The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He's clearing out to make room for Tuesday's starter, Matthew Boyd. Strzelecki has permitted three runs with a 9:3 K:BB over 11.2 relief innings for the Guardians this season.

The Guardians recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Strzelecki has allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings during his time with Cleveland this season. He'll give the bullpen a fresh arm.

The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for left-hander Joey Cantillo, who will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Phillies. Strzelecki made four outings out of the Guardians' bullpen after being recalled from Columbus on July 21. Over those four outings, the 29-year-old right-hander allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings. In 29 Triple-A appearances this season, Strzelecki has a 4.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 32.1 innings.
