Harvey cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Harvey made his big-league debut last season, throwing 18 innings for the Yankees and Rockies. He failed to impress, posting a 5.00 ERA and a 17:13 K:BB.

Payano signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Thursday, Andersen Pickard of MLB Daily Dish reports.

Payano made his major-league debut for the majors in 2019, where he posted a 5.73 ERA with a 1.86 WHIP over six appearances (four starts). The report doesn't explicitly say so, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander report to big-league camp for spring training given his past experience.

Garcia agreed to a contract with the Marlins on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Garcia saw a heavy workload in 2019, recording a 3.61 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP over 62.1 innings for the Dodgers. The terms of the deal are unknown and the finalization is pending a physical, but if all goes well, the 29-year-old could play a big role in the Marlins' bullpen.

Treinen (back) signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Treinen lost his job as Oakland's closer in 2019 as he struggled with shoulder and back issues, but he is expected to be fully healthy for spring training. The right-hander will pitch out of the Dodgers' bullpen after posting a career-worst 4.91 ERA and 1.62 WHIP last season, although the ability to perform in lower-leverage situations behind Kenley Jansen could allow Treinen to bounce back in 2020.

Lee's contract was purchased by the Brewers on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old pitched 47.2 innings between the Double-A and Triple-A levels in the Orioles' organization last season, where he recorded a 5.85 ERA and a 49:23 K:BB prior to being released in July. Lee has yet to pitch in the majors, but he posted a 4.10 ERA and 32 strikeouts over 26.1 innings with St. Paul of the American Association last year.

Harvey was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Monday.

Harvey made his major-league debut in 2019 as he threw a total of 18 innings with the Yankees and Rockies, recording a 5.00 ERA with a 1.72 WHIP over that time. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster, and it's unclear whether another team will claim the 27-year-old off waivers after his output in the majors left something to be desired.

Kinley was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Monday.

Kinley threw 49.1 innings for the Marlins last season, finishing with a respectable 3.65 ERA. His underlying numbers didn't back that figure up, however, as he struck out a modest 20.8 percent of opposing batters while walking 16.3 percent.

Finnegan signed a major-league deal with the Nationals on Sunday.

Finnegan spent the entirety of his minor-league career with the Athletics, splitting the last three seasons between Double-A and Triple-A. The 28-year-old posted a 2.31 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 72:19 K:BB with 14 saves in 16 chances over 50.2 innings between the two levels in 2019. Finnegan is still looking to make his major-league debut after switching from a starter to a reliever in 2016.

Avila (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Tuesday.

This move comes after Avila was non-tendered by the Padres earlier in the week. The righty made his big-league debut in 2019, allowing one run on four hits while striking out five across 5.1 innings. Avila is expected to miss most if not all of the 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August.

Peralta and the Giants agreed to terms on a one-year, $850,000 contract Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

The Giants scooped Peralta off waivers in early September. In 39.2 innings with Cincinnati and San Francisco, the lefty posted a 5.67 ERA.
