The New York Yankees have re-signed right-handed reliever Lou Trivino to a one-year deal with a club option for the 2025 season. According to Jon Morosi of MLB.com, the Yankees will pay Trivino $1.5 million this year, and his option is worth an additional $5 million. It should be noted that Trivino underwent Tommy John surgery last summer and isn't expected to be ready for Opening Day. Therefore, this deal allows the Yankees to have a familiar face return to their bullpen for the back half of the year while simultaneously rehabbing and evaluating him for 2025.

The New York Yankees have acquired left-handed pitcher Clayton Andrews from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor-league right-handed pitcher Joshua Quezada. Andrews is now on the Yankees' 40-man roster and will participate in Spring Training as he looks to carve out a bullpen role at the major league level. The 27-year-old disappointed in his first taste of big league action last year, surrendering 11 runs over 3.1 innings of work. With that said, he fared better in the minors, amassing a .193 opponent batting average and 11.68 K/9. Heading back to Milwaukee is Quezada, a 19-year-old native of Nicaragua whom the Yankees signed in 2023. He amassed a 3.69 ERA, 9.32 K/9, and 3.50 BB/9 in the Dominican Summer League last year.

The Baltimore Orioles have acquired outfielder Peyton Burdick from the Miami Marlins in exchange for cash considerations. To make room for Burdick on the 40-man roster, Baltimore shifted right-handed reliever Flix Bautista (elbow) to the 60-day injured list. Burdick had been designated for assignment by the Marlins last week, and the Orioles represent just his second organization since being drafted in 2019. The 26-year-old has struggled at all levels of pro ball, posting high strikeout rates, low OPS totals, and poor defensive metrics. Even if he manages to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Burdick isn't expected to make an impact at the big-league level anytime soon.

The New York Yankees placed outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Lou Trivino, who was signed to an undisclosed one-year major-league deal. Trivino's deal includes a club option for 2025. Dominguez is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right throwing arm but has been shagging balls in the outfield in camp and is scheduled to resume playing catch soon. However, the 21-year-old still has a long ways to go in his recovery and isn't expected to make his 2024 debut until sometime this summer. He took Justin Verlander deep on his first big-league swing last year and had four home runs in his first eight games, demonstrating the kind of upside he'll have as a starter for the Yankees in the future.

San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday as he recovers from left-elbow UCL surgery. In a corresponding move, the Giants signed right-hander Austin Warren to an undisclosed one-year major-league deal. Ray underwent Tommy John surgery in May of last year after making only three starts for the Seattle Mariners and won't be able to pitch in 2024 until the second half of the season after the Giants acquired the former Cy Young winner in an offseason trade with Seattle. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw is an elite strikeout artist when healthy and took the next step in 2021 with the Blue Jays when he won the American League Cy Young by finally limiting his walks. Ray has already been cleared to throw three times a week but won't be an option for fantasy managers until the second half in 2024.
