Anthony Veneziano - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Headed overseas The Rangers released Veneziano on Friday.

Impact Veneziano was signed to a minor-league contract in December, but he's asked for and been granted his release in order to pursue a playing opportunity in Asia. The lefty held a 4.68 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 25 innings between the Marlins and Cardinals in 2025.

Gets NRI deal with Rangers The Rangers signed Veneziano to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact Veneziano made 26 appearances in the majors in 2025 between the Marlins and Cardinals, holding a 4.68 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 25 innings. The lefty will compete for a spot in the Rangers' bullpen but, in all likelihood, will begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Round Rock.

Claimed off waivers by Cardinals The Cardinals claimed Veneziano off waivers from the Marlins on Monday.

Impact Veneziano has made 24 relief appearances in the majors this season, collecting a 4.71 ERA and 20:10 K:BB over 21 innings. He will report to Triple-A Memphis, where he will provide St. Louis with some experienced left-handed relief depth.

DFA'd by Miami The Marlins designated Veneziano for assignment Friday.

Impact The left-hander has been at Triple-A Jacksonville since mid-June and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. Veneziano posted a 4.71 ERA in 24 appearances while up with the Marlins and has a 7.07 ERA with Jacksonville this year, so he seems unlikely to generate much interest on waivers.

Demoted to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact Veneziano worked 1.1 innings and tossed 49 pitches between a pair of relief appearances the past two days, so he was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale in Washington. The Marlins opted to swap Veneziano off the active roster for a fresh bullpen arm in right-hander Freddy Tarnok, whose contract was selected from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.
