The Phillies activated Mayza (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies claimed Mayza off waivers from the Pirates on Sunday while he was nearing the end of his rehab assignment, and he'll be activated Monday as Philadelphia's active roster expands to 28 men. Mayza had a 1.93 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and six strikeouts in 4.2 innings on his rehab assignment and he should operate in low-leverage situations down the stretch.

The Phillies claimed Mayza (lat) off waivers from the Pirates on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has been sidelined since April due to a shoulder injury but has made four rehab appearances in the minors over the past couple weeks. Mayza may need another minor-league appearance or two with his new organization before coming off the injured list.

Mayza (lat) allowed two hits and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning in his first rehab appearance with Single-A Bradenton on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza has been shelved since late April with a left lat strain but is gearing up for a return to the Pittsburgh bullpen. Given the amount of time he's missed, he'll likely require a few more rehab appearances before being activated from the 60-day injured list. The veteran lefty had yielded only three runs with an 8:1 K:BB over 9.1 innings for Pittsburgh before getting hurt.

Mayza (lat) has been completing side sessions at the Pirates' spring training facility, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza has been throwing for nearly a month, but this activity marks progress in his rehab. He'll still need to face live hitters and complete a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list.

Mayza (shoulder) progressed to throwing from 120 feet Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza has been sidelined since April 19 and will be eligible to return whenever he is ready. While this activity marks positive progress, he'll need to throw bullpen sessions and engage in a rehab assignment before being activated.

Mayza underwent imaging on his left shoulder last week and will do a plyometric program for the next two weeks, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayza landed on the 15-day injured list April 19 due to a left shoulder lat muscle strain. He could start throwing again should he make progress with the program he's set to embark on, but it may not be until late June or early July that he is cleared to go on a rehab assignment. The 33-year-old southpaw posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB across 9.1 innings prior to his injury.

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.
