Fulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Fulmer has re-upped with the Angels after making three appearances for them in 2023, yielding three runs over 10 innings. The 30-year-old has put up an unsightly 6.14 ERA over 77 appearances (14 starts) over parts of seven seasons at the big-league level.

Sadzeck signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Feb. 2.

Sadzeck was at Triple-A St. Paul in the Twins organization last season, holding a 5.40 ERA and 42:26 K:BB over 35 frames. The 6-foot-7 right-hander will give Pittsburgh some right-handed relief depth at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Warren (elbow) was released by the Angels on Thursday.

Warren was designated for assignment Wednesday and was quickly moved out of the organization altogether. He's recovering from Tommy John surgery but should be back at some point late in the 2024 season. Warren has experienced some success in the majors and should get a chance with a new club when he's healthy.

Chavez signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Thursday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 40-year-old Chavez defied Father Time last season in Atlanta, posting a 1.56 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while striking out 39 batters over 34.2 innings. However, a microfracture in his left shin forced him to miss three months of the regular season. Because of his age and injury history, the White Sox will play it safe by giving Chavez a minor-league deal, but the right-hander should easily secure a spot in Chicago's weak bullpen if his performance in the spring resembles anything close to last season.

Ramsey cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 27-year-old is no longer on the 40-man roster but will stick around in the organization. Ramsey put up a 5.85 ERA and 18:9 K:BB over 20 innings of relief with the White Sox in 2023.

Perez elected free agency Wednesday.

The Athletics outrighted Perez to Triple-A Las Vegas after removing him from their 40-man roster, but the lefty had the right to refuse the assignment and become a free agent and has opted to do just that. Perez posted a 5.94 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP across 16.2 innings with Oakland in 2023.

McCaughan cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

McCaughan lost his spot on the Mariners' 40-man roster but will remain in the organization and has been invited to spring training. The right-hander posted a 5.83 ERA in 25 starts with Tacoma in 2023.

Fulmer (elbow) signed a two-year, minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Feb. 2.

Fulmer is expected to miss 2024 following UCL revision surgery, so he'll rehab with the Red Sox this year before joining their bullpen in 2025, assuming all goes well. The veteran right-hander held a 4.42 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 65:28 K:BB across 57 innings in 2023 with the Cubs before getting injured.

Honeywell signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Wednesday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Honeywell logged a 4.82 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 52.1 innings last season with the Padres and White Sox. He'll have an opportunity to make the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen in the spring, but Triple-A Indianapolis is Honeywell's likely destination.

The Brewers designated Andrews for assignment Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The signing of Jakob Junis became official Wednesday, causing Andrews to lose his spot on the 40-man roster. Andrews struggled during his brief time in the majors, allowing 10 earned runs in just 3.1 innings across four appearances. He put together a 2.53 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in Triple-A, however, making it possible another team gives him a chance off the waiver wire.
