Hendricks is retiring from professional baseball, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

There had been speculation that the 2025 season was likely Hendricks' last, and it appears that is indeed the case. The veteran righty posted a 4.79 ERA over his final five seasons, but Hendricks -- who turns 37 next month -- will finish with a career 3.79 ERA, two top-10 Cy Young finishes and one ERA title in 2016.

Giolito said Saturday in an appearance on Audacy's "Baseball Isn't Boring" podcast that he began his offseason throwing program in mid-October and is fully recovered from the right elbow injury that ended his season in late September.

The right-hander came down with right elbow soreness at the end of the regular season and was unavailable to pitch in the playoffs for the Red Sox. However, Giolito noted that "within three days, my elbow felt 100 percent fine again," and "whatever injury there was, it's gone." Giolito is entering free agency, and assuming his medicals check out fine, he should receive plenty of interest on the open market. The 31-year-old held a 3.41 ERA and 121:56 K:BB over 145 innings for Boston in 2025.

Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier Sunday after he was indicted on charges for his alleged role in a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Fellow Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase has also been indicted, though he has yet to be taken into police custody. Citing a statement from the Department of Justice, Zack Meisel of The Athletic relays that Ortiz and Clase are facing charges of "wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery, and money laundering conspiracy" after the two pitchers were accused of intentionally throwing balls in games so that bettors could wager on the pitches. According to Passan, prosecutors allege that Clase's involvement in the betting scheme dated back to as early as May 2023, while Ortiz was included at a later date. Ortiz has remained on administrative leave since July 3 while MLB has conducted its own sports-betting investigation. If MLB concurs with the accusations levied against Ortiz in the indictment, the 26-year-old right-hander's time in affiliated ball would most likely be over.

The Dodgers outrighted Grove (shoulder) to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Grove missed the 2025 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. It's uncertain whether he will be ready for the start of the 2026 season, and he will have to fight his way back onto the 40-man roster.

Wright elected to become a free agent Friday.

Wright cleared waivers after being removed from the Royals' 40-man roster earlier this week, and he's decided to exercise his right to free agency. The right-hander didn't pitch at all in 2024 after undergoing right shoulder surgery and made only eight rehab starts in 2025 due to a strained oblique. Wright is healthy now but faces an uncertain free-agent market.

Walter (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

This move is procedural as the Astros set their 40-man roster for the offseason. Walter is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2026 season.

Wesneski (elbow) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

This move was procedural as the Astros get their 40-man roster in order for the offseason. Wesneski will be sidelined until at least the middle of the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Garcia (elbow) was activated from the injured list and elected free agency Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Garcia has been ruled out for all of 2026 while recovering from UCL and flexor tendon surgery. He may have to wait until he makes progress in his recovery before finding a new team.

Blanco (elbow) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

This move was strictly procedural, as Blanco is recovering from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace. He is expected to miss most of the 2026 season.

Lively (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus by the Guardians on Thursday and elected free agency, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Lively was a fairly effective starter for Cleveland to begin the season with a 3.22 ERA over 44.2 innings, but he underwent elbow surgery in late May. He likely won't be able to retake a big-league mound until the middle of the 2026 season, so it may take him some time to find a new opportunity.
