Nittoli (elbow) will undergo an internal brace procedure and miss the entire 2026 season, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli underwent an MRI on his right elbow last week, revealing the need for season-ending surgery. The 35-year-old right-hander signed a minor-league contract that included an invitation to spring training last month. Nittoli spent the entire 2025 season at the Triple-A level with the Orioles and Brewers, posting a 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 46:15 K:BB across 39.1 innings. He's expected to be ready for winter ball.

Nittoli underwent an MRI on his right elbow Tuesday after feeling pain during his most recent Grapefruit League appearance, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The results of the imaging are not in yet. Nittoli is in Red Sox camp as a non-roster invitee and has been roughed up for four runs over 2.2 innings in his three spring training outings. Even if the MRI is clean, Nittoli will be ticketed for Triple-A Worcester.

The Red Sox signed Nittoli to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli saw limited action in the majors every season from 2021-2024 but spent all of 2025 at the Triple-A level, collecting a 4.58 ERA and 46:15 K:BB over 39.1 innings. The 35-year-old will compete for a bullpen role in Boston but is likely ticketed for Triple-A Worcester.

Nittoli opted out of his minor-league contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli didn't perform very well in Triple-A after joining forces with the O's in late July, logging a 6.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP while striking out nine batters and walking four over 11.1 innings. He'll now test the open market and attempt to land a new deal, but his latest stint at Norfolk didn't help his chances of pitching in the big leagues this season.

Nittoli agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli opted out of his minor-league pact with the Brewers last week and has quickly landed in a new organization. The 34-year-old last appeared in the big leagues with the Orioles in 2024, making two scoreless appearances. Nittoli will report to Triple-A Norfolk.

Nittoli is expected to opt out of his minor-league contract with the Brewers this week, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli appeared in nine games in the majors in 2024 between stops with the Athletics and Orioles, but he has yet to surface in the big leagues with Milwaukee after signing with the organization in October. Over 37 relief appearances for Triple-A Nashville this season, Nittoli has accrued a 3.86 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB in 28 innings. The 34-year-old righty shouldn't have much trouble landing another deal in free agency.

The Brewers signed Nittoli to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli had opted out of his minor-league deal with the Mets back in August and has now found a new club for next season. The 33-year-old allowed two runs with an 8:2 K:BB over 12 frames in the majors in 2024 and held a 3.60 ERA and 43:12 K:BB across 30 innings at the Triple-A level.

The Mets released Nittoli on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract, presumably after being told he would not receive a promotion. The righty did not pitch well in his brief time at Triple-A Syracuse, allowing five runs (four earned) over 3.2 innings. However, Nittoli has mostly been very good both in the majors (1.50 ERA in nine appearances) and minors (3.60 ERA, 43:12 K:BB in 30 innings) this season, so he should be able to latch on elsewhere.

Nittoli agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mets on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli has now caught on with his fourth organization of the season following stints with the Athletics, Cubs and Orioles. He saw big-league action with both Oakland and Baltimore, making nine total relief appearances while logging a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 12 innings. The right-hander will report to Triple-A Syracuse to begin his tenure with the Mets but should be in the mix for a call-up to the majors over the final six weeks of the season.

The Orioles released Nittoli on Thursday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nittoli had been removed from the 40-man roster and has elected free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The right-handed reliever has pitched well in nine appearances in 2024 between the Orioles and Athletics, allowing just two runs with an 8:2 K:BB in 12 innings. He should land on his feet somewhere.
