Cubs' Andrew Wantz: Back with Cubs on MiLB deal
The Cubs re-signed Wantz to a minor-league contract Thursday.
Wantz elected free agency earlier this week after being removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster, but he's returned to the organization on a new deal. The right-handed reliever has allowed six runs over 3.2 innings in the majors this season and holds a 5.88 ERA and 51:27 K:BB across 49 frames at the Triple-A level.

Andrew Wantz: Chooses free agency
Wantz elected free agency Monday.
Wantz will assess his options on the open market after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment by the Cubs last Wednesday. The 30-year-old right-hander has made one appearance apiece at the big-league level for the Cubs and Rays this season, giving up six earned runs over 3.2 innings.

Cubs' Andrew Wantz: DFA'd by Cubs
The Cubs designated Wantz for assignment on Wednesday.
The move corresponds with the Cubs selecting Jake Woodford's contract from Triple-A Iowa. Wantz made his second major-league appearance Tuesday against the Cardinals, against whom he allowed one run on three hits and one walk over two innings. If he clears waivers, Wantz will have the option of accepting an outright assignment to remain with the Cubs or explore opportunities as a free agent.

Cubs' Andrew Wantz: Summoned to big leagues
The Cubs selected Wantz's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
Wantz will provide the Chicago bullpen with a fresh arm capable of covering multiple frames after the Cubs needed three relievers to handle the final four innings of Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates. The 30-year-old righty made one appearance in the big leagues with the Rays earlier in 2026 but has otherwise spent the entire season at the Triple-A level, where he's produced a 5.63 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 49:26 K:BB over 48 innings.

Cubs' Andrew Wantz: Catches on with Cubs
Wantz signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Saturday.
Wantz will report to Triple-A Iowa with his new organization. Before electing free agency last week upon clearing waivers, Wantz was lit up for five earned runs over 1.2 innings in his lone relief appearance for the Rays and posted a 7.04 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 23 innings with their Triple-A affiliate in Durham.

Andrew Wantz: Elects free agency
Wantz cleared waivers Tuesday and elected free agency, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Wantz was DFA'd by Tampa Bay after he gave up five earned runs in just 1.2 innings Saturday, and he'll now look to free agency for his next opportunity. The 30-year-old has also struggled in the minors this season, posting a 7.04 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 23 innings at Triple-A Durham, so he will almost certainly have to settle for another minor-league deal.

Rays' Andrew Wantz: Designated for assignment
The Rays designated Wantz for assignment Sunday.
The right-hander just had his contract selected by Tampa Bay on Friday but will lose his place on the roster after giving up five runs across 1.2 innings Saturday against the Angels. Wantz seems unlikely to garner much interest on the waiver wire given that he posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in 23 innings for Triple-A Durham prior to the promotion.

Rays' Andrew Wantz: Promoted to Tampa Bay
The Rays selected Wantz's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday.
Wantz will join a big-league squad for the first time since 2024 after missing all of last season coming off elbow surgery. With Triple-A Durham, Wantz posted a 7.04 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB in 23 innings. Tampa Bay optioned Carson Williams in order to make room for Wantz on the active roster.

Rays' Andrew Wantz: Sent out of big-league camp
The Rays reassigned Wantz to minor-league camp Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Wantz missed most of the 2025 season while completing his recovery from the elbow surgery he required in July 2024, but the right-hander was able to wrap up the campaign with seven scoreless innings at Triple-A Durham. Though he headed into spring training at full health, Wantz wasn't able to win a spot in the Rays' Opening Day bullpen after giving up seven runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks across 6.2 innings in the Grapefruit League. Wantz -- who owns a career 3.88 ERA over parts of four seasons with the Angels from 2021 through 2024 -- will need to pitch effectively at Durham to begin the 2026 campaign before potentially receiving a call-up to the Rays.

Rays' Andrew Wantz: Returns from lengthy IL stint
Wantz (elbow) threw a scoreless inning and struck out one during Saturday's game against Triple-A Gwinnett.
Wantz was officially activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 1 after recovering from right elbow surgery. He's looked sharp in three appearances since his return to Triple-A, firing three scoreless frames while registering two strikeouts and one walk.

Rays' Andrew Wantz: Gets chance with Rays
Wantz (elbow) signed a minor-league deal with the Rays on Jan. 2.
Per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, it's a two-year contract, as Wantz is recovering from right elbow surgery and the earliest could be ready to pitch for the Rays is late in the 2025 season. Wantz has a career 3.88 ERA and 126:48 K:BB over 118.1 frames covering parts of four major-league seasons.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Activated from injured list
Wantz (elbow) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Wantz underwent a procedure on his elbow in mid-July, but it was not Tommy John surgery. Nevertheless, he was unable to return to the mound in 2024 after experiencing a setback. He'll presumably be ready for the start of spring training, which would roughly be in line with his initial recovery timetable.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Status for 2025 now uncertain
Wantz (elbow) recently had a setback , and it's not clear when (or if) he'll be able to pitch next season, per MLB.com.
When it was initially clarified that Wantz's season-ending surgery wasn't Tommy John, the expectation was that he'd be ready to take the mound again for spring training in 2025. However, he's since suffered a setback, casting uncertainty about his outlook moving forward. Wantz pitched in only one big-league game this season, allowing one run on one hit while striking out three batters over 1.1 innings June 30 against the Tigers.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Avoids Tommy John surgery
The season-ending elbow surgery Wantz required in July wasn't a Tommy John procedure, MLB.com reports.
When the Angels organization announced that Wantz had season-ending elbow surgery, not many details were provided, leading to some speculation that he underwent a Tommy John procedure. Though the exact nature of the surgery still hasn't been clarified, the fact that it wasn't a Tommy John repair will shorten the right-hander's timeframe for a return. Wantz is currently rehabbing in Arizona and could be ready to pitch during spring training.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Gets season-ending surgery
The Angels announced Saturday that Wantz underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow, MLB.com reports.
The club didn't provide many details on Wantz's procedure, but the prevailing assumption is that he underwent Tommy John surgery. Assuming that's the case, Wantz likely won't be ready to pitch again until late in the 2025 season, if not the start of the 2026 season. He appeared in just one game out of the big-league bullpen this season and made seven appearances (six starts) at Triple-A Salt Lake, where he turned in a 6.17 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 23.1 innings. Set to turn 29 years old in October and likely at risk of missing the entire 2025 season, Wantz will likely be a non-tender candidate this offseason.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Shifted to 60-day IL
Wantz (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday.
The move will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Keston Hiura, who'll also join the active roster Friday. Wantz was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with elbow inflammation, and there hasn't been any further updates on the injury. He won't be eligible for reinstatement until the end of August.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Out with elbow inflammation
The Angels placed Wantz on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to July 1, due to right elbow inflammation.
The right-hander was called up by the Halos over the weekend and presumably suffered the injury when he allowed a run over 1.1 innings Sunday versus Detroit. Wantz is without an officially timeline for his return but won't be back until after the All-Star break.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Promoted to majors
The Angels recalled Wantz from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Wantz has spent the entire season in Triple-A, though he missed nearly two months due to a right forearm injury. Since returning from the IL, he's allowed nine runs (eight earned) in just six innings over three appearances. Despite his poor performance, he'll join the Halos as a replacement for Zach Plesac, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Six of Wantz's seven appearances in the minors this season have been as a starter, but he'll likely be deployed as a multi-inning reliever for the Angels, at least initially.

Angels' Andrew Wantz: Makes return at Triple-A
Wantz (forearm) has given up nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and seven walks while striking out 10 over six innings in his three appearances (two starts) since being activated from Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list June 12.
Wantz missed just under two months of action due to a right forearm strain. Though he's ostensibly healthy again, Wantz has struggled mightily with his control since coming off the IL. He doesn't look to be a viable option to join the Angels during the upcoming week, even though the big club has two open spots in its rotation at the moment.
