The Tigers tendered a one-year, $22.05 million qualifying offer to Torres (groin) on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Torres underwent surgery in late October to repair a sports hernia on his left side, but he should be fully healthy well before spring training. The infielder turns 29 in December, and he could decline the qualifying offer in search of a multi-year deal. Torres slashed .256/.358/.387 with 16 home runs, 79 runs and 74 RBI during the 2025 regular season.

Lantigua cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Lantigua spent a brief period of time with the Phillies in 2025 but never appeared in an MLB game. He played in 125 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, however, where he slashed .231/.357/.331 with seven homers, 57 RBI, 82 runs scored and 17 stolen bases. The 27-year-old has yet to make his big-league debut and will likely have to settle for another minor-league deal in free agency.

The Marlins outrighted Winkler to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Winkler will remain in the Marlins' organization, but he'll be removed from the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old infielder made 14 appearances with Miami in 2025, going 4-for-16 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base.

Estrada (hamstring) cleared waivers Thursday and elected to become a free agent.

Estrada was placed on waivers after the Rockies declined to pick up his $7 million mutual option for 2025. Numerous injuries limited the 29-year-old infielder to playing just 39 MLB games in 2025, during which he slashed .253/.285/.370 across 165 plate appearances. He could still receive some interest in the open market, though his injury history and poor offensive performance may limit his options.

The Rays exercised Lowe's $11.5 million option for 2026 on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will stay put after he slashed .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI this season for the Rays. The 31-year-old will be entering his walk year in 2026, so he will be a trade candidate if the Rays are not in contention when the deadline arrives.

Kaiser cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Kaiser spent most of the season at Triple-A, where he slashed .236/.345/.406 with six homers, 31 RBI and 32 runs scored across 273 plate appearances. It's unknown whether the 28-year-old will elect to test the free-agent market, though he would be unlikely to attract more than a minor-league deal if he were to do so.

President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said Tuesday that Atlanta will pick up Albies' (hand) $7 million club option for 2026, Mark Zinno of 92.9 The Game reports.

Albies endured one of the worst offensive seasons of his career in 2025, slashing just .240/.306/.365 with 16 homers, 74 RBI and 14 stolen bases across 667 plate appearances. He also suffered a fracture in his left hand toward the end of the season. Despite the infielder's hardships, Atlanta will stand pat with its commitment to Albies at the keystone rather than pay him the $4 million buyout he would have been owed.

The Rockies declined Farmer's $4 million mutual option for 2026 on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The club will pay him a $750,000 buyout instead. Farmer slashed just .227/.280/.365 with eight home runs over 97 contests for the Rockies this season. The utility infielder is now a free agent.

Colorado declined its $7 million mutual option on Estrada (hamstring) for the 2026 season Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Harding notes that Estrada is eligible for arbitration, so he'll remain under club control for the moment. Estrada appeared in only 39 games in 2025 due to various injuries, including a hamstring issue that forced him to be shut down for nearly the last two months of season. He slashed .253/.285/.370 with three home runs, 21 RBI, one stolen base and 14 runs scored.

Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Friday's Game 6 of the World Series versus the Blue Jays.

It's Rojas' first start of the World Series and his third start this postseason. With Rojas manning second base, Tommy Edman has shifted to center field for the Dodgers. Andy Pages will begin the contest on the bench for the second straight game.
