Mazya (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mazya landed on the injured list Saturday and won't throw for six weeks, so this transaction isn't particularly surprising news. Matt Gorski will take his place on the Pirates' 40-man roster.

Mayza (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for roughly six weeks, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

A strained left shoulder sent Mayza to the injured list Saturday, and it doesn't seem like he's expected to return anytime soon. He'll be re-evaluated at the end of his six-week rest period, at which point he may be cleared to begin a throwing program.

The Pirates placed Mayza on the 15-day injured list due to a left shoulder lat muscle strain, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza may have picked up the injury in his last outing Friday against the Guardians, when he gave up two hits while striking out one over 1.2 frames. He will be eligible to return from the IL in early May, though how he responds to treatment over the next few days will determine the length of his rehab program. David Bednar was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Mayza signed one-year, $1.15 million contract with the Pirates on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza, who struggled through one of the worst seasons of his big-league career a season ago across stops with the Blue Jays and Yankees, will have the luxury of a fresh start following Monday's agreement. He was brilliant for the Blue Jays during the 2023 campaign, posting a sparkling 1.52 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 53 strikeouts and one save across 53.1 innings, so he'll have his sights set on returning to form in Pittsburgh.

The Yankees non-tendered Mayza on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza's performance improved dramatically after signing with New York in July, though he still finished the regular season with a 6.33 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 42.2 total innings. Once considered one of the most reliable high-leverage relievers in the game, the 32-year-old Mayza should still draw a fair bit of attention in the open market.

Mayza signed a major-league contract and was selected to the Yankees 26-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza inked a minor-league deal with the Yankees on July 10 and has since been pitching for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 2.16 ERA across 8.1 innings. The left-hander shouldn't be expected to handle high-leverage work in what will be his first MLB action since June 28.

Mayza agreed Wednesday with the Yankees on a minor-league contract, Brendan Kuty and Katie Woo of The Athletic report.

EDGE Analysis

Cut loose by the Blue Jays after clearing waivers last week, Mayza was quickly able to find a new home within the American League East. The Yankees plan to assign Mayza to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre initially, but he might not have to wait long for a big-league call-up while New York currently has five relievers on the injured list. Mayza turned in a 1.52 ERA in 69 appearances with Toronto in 2023 but had taken a big step back in 2024 prior to being cut, accruing an 8.03 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings in 35 appearances.

The Blue Jays released Mayza on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza was DFA'd by the Jays on Saturday after posting an 8.03 ERA in 24.2 innings, and he'll now be jettisoned out of the organization and into the open market. The 32-year-old southpaw posted a 1.52 ERA in 53.1 frames just a year ago, so he could still draw some interest in free agency, but his next opportunity will likely come in the form of a minor-league contract.

The Blue Jays designated Mayza for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza allowed five runs to score without recording an out during Friday's loss to the Yankees, inflating his ERA to 8.03 through 24.2 innings -- a far cry from his 1.52 ERA last season. The 32-year-old southpaw's drastic regression has now cost him his spot on the Jays' 40-man roster, though he could still receive some attention on the waiver wire from bullpen-needy teams hoping to unlock Mayza's previous form. Jose Cuas was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the open spot in Toronto's bullpen.

Mayza walked one batter in a scoreless sixth inning Wednesday to record his eighth hold of the season in a win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw had a bumpy start to the season, but Mayza seems to have steadied his ship in May. He's been scored upon only once in his last seven appearances, posting a 1.69 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 5.1 innings during that stretch with three holds. The 32-year-old remains the top option in the Toronto bullpen from the left side.
