DAN ALTAVILLA NEWS

Gets NRI from ChiSox Altavilla signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Thursday and received an invitation to spring training.

Impact Altavilla made five appearances for the Royals in 2024, giving up six earned runs over just 3.2 innings while striking out five batters and walking three. Most of his time was spent in Triple-A, however, where he logged a 3.51 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 41 frames. The lack of depth in Chicago's bullpen will give the 32-year-old righty better odds at cracking the Opening Day roster, but Triple-A Charlotte remains his most likely destination.

Outrighted to Omaha Altavilla cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Omaha.

Impact The Royals dropped Altavilla from their 40-man roster immediately upon activating him from the 60-day IL on Thursday, but he'll remain within the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old righty has allowed six runs in only 3.2 major-league innings this season, though he's been more effective in Triple-A to the tune of a 4.11 ERA through 35 frames.

Activated and DFA'd by Kansas City The Royals activated Altavilla (oblique) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and designated him for assignment.

Impact Altavilla is recovered from his right oblique strain, but the Royals have decided there isn't a place for him on the active roster. The veteran reliever has coughed up six runs over 3.2 frames covering five appearances for Kansas City this season.

Embarking on rehab assignment The Royals announced that Altivilla (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Impact Altavilla hasn't pitched since June 20 after suffering a strained right oblique and will begin a rehab stint Tuesday. However, he won't be eligible to return from the injured list until August 19, so his stay at Omaha will last multiple weeks. The right-hander allowed six runs in 3.2 big-league innings this season.

Moved to 60-day IL Altavilla (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday.

Impact Altavilla suffered a right oblique strain June 20 and was initially placed on the 15-day IL. However, with the Royals adding Walter Pennington to the 40-man and 26-man roster, Altavilla was shifted to the 60-day IL to open up a roster spot. Altavilla won't be eligible to return until the middle of September.

To IL with strained oblique The Royals placed Altavilla on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right oblique strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact The reliever was injured during an appearance in Wednesday's game against the Athletics. It's not clear how long Altavilla might be sidelined, but often oblique strains result in longer than minimum stays on the IL.

Takes loss as opener Altavilla (0-1) allowed five runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one over one-third of an inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Yankees.

Impact The initial plan was likely for Altavilla to throw an inning or two, but the Yankees jumped on him right away. For now, Altavilla will remain in the majors -- Daniel Lynch was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday, but the Royals will need a fifth starter late next week. Expect Altavilla to remain in low-leverage usage as long as he's in the majors.

Cut by Boston The Red Sox released Altavilla on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Altavilla has spent all season working his way back from an injury, and he worked his way up to High-A ball, allowing three runs in seven innings with Greenville during his assignment. He'll now hit the open market and look to latch on with another franchise as organizational depth. Altavilla hasn't pitched in the majors since 2021.

Outrighted to Triple-A The Padres outrighted Altavilla (elbow) to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Shaun O'Neill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Altavilla spent most of the season on the 60-day injured list and underwent Tommy John surgery in June, so it's not a major surprise the Friars won't keep him on the 40-man roster through the offseason. The 29-year-old will miss most, if not all, of the 2022 campaign, but there's a chance he'll be able to return during the second half if his rehab goes smoothly.
