The Mets signed Paris to a one-year contract Monday and designated him for assignment.

Paris was claimed off waivers by the Mets last week and will now be available on waivers again. The 24-year-old slashed .307/.427/.554 last season while at Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels organization, and he's managed just a .510 OPS in 88 contests at the major-league level.

The Mets outrighted Pache to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Since he's been outrighted previously, Pache has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. He went 1-for-8 at the plate in a brief stint with the Mets this season.

The Mets claimed Ohl (elbow) off waivers from the Rockies on Monday.

Ohl missed the 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he has a chance to be ready in time for the start of next season if the Mets plan to use him as a reliever. The right-hander posted a 5.10 ERA and 27:7 K:BB over 30 innings with the Twins in 2025 before going to Colorado in a trade last winter.

The Giants outrighted Lonsway to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Lonsway reached the majors for the first time this season, permitted three runs (two earned) over 2.1 innings. He held a 5.10 ERA and ugly 61:59 K:BB over 95.1 innings in 2026 at the minor-league level. Lonsway is no longer on the 40-man roster but will stay in the organization.

The Giants outrighted Kuhnel to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Kuhnel has been outrighted before, so he can decline the assignment and elect free agency. The veteran reliever collected a combined 4.40 ERA and 28:18 K:BB across 45 innings with four different teams in 2026.

The Phillies claimed Whitcomb off waivers from the Giants on Monday.

The Giants picked up Whitcomb off waivers in August, and the utility player is on the move again. Whitcomb has hit only .196/.232/.307 in parts of three big-league seasons, but he's collected an .810 OPS in the minors and offers plenty of defensive versatility.

The Phillies claimed Harris off waivers from the Giants on Monday.

Harris has managed just a .566 OPS over 89 games covering parts of three seasons in the majors. The 28-year-old can handle every infield position and could compete for a reserve role in Philadelphia in 2027.

The Reds claimed Davitt off waivers from the Giants on Monday.

Davitt permitted eight runs (seven earned) with a 5:4 K:BB over eight innings this season between the White Sox and Giants. The 27-year-old will compete for a spot in the Reds' bullpen, but he does have minor-league options remaining.

The Nationals designated Tena for assignment Monday.

Tena spent the entire 2026 campaign in the majors, but he slashed only.222/.302/.370 with seven home runs over 114 contests. The 25-year-old can play virtually all over the field, but a lack of minor-league options could hurt his appeal on waivers.

The Reds claimed Schultz off waivers from the Nationals on Monday.

In 40 appearances at the major-league level, Schultz has collected a 5.53 ERA and 60:20 K:BB covering 57 innings. The 28-year-old will compete for a job in the Reds' bullpen, assuming he's still on the roster when spring training rolls around.
