Hunter Bigge - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Relegated to Durham The Rays optioned Bigge to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

Impact The 27-year-old will end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room in the bullpen for Cole Sulser (back), who returned from the injured list Saturday. Bigge owns a 6.98 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 19.1 innings with the Rays this season and gave up three earned runs without recording an out during his last appearance Friday.

Picks up first win Thursday Bigge (1-0) was credited with the win Thursday against the Red Sox, striking out one in two clean innings of relief.

Nine of his 11 appearances have been scoreless outings to begin 2026, with the 27-year-old right-hander logging a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB with four holds across 13 innings.

Joins big-league bullpen The Rays recalled Bigge from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

Impact He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by the injured Garrett Cleavinger (calf). Bigge narrowly missed out on an Opening Day roster spot despite a strong spring training, but he didn't have to wait long for his first promotion. The righty could work his way into high-leverage situations as part of an unsettled Rays bullpen.

Sent to Triple-A The Rays optioned Bigge to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The right-hander allowed just one run with a 10:3 K:BB across 6.1 innings during spring training, but he won't crack Tampa Bay's Opening Day roster. Bigge had a 2.40 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 15 big-league innings last year, and it should only be a matter of time before the Rays give him a look in 2026.

Healthy ahead of spring training Bigge (face) threw live batting practice Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After pitching eight games in the Dominican winter league, Bigge appears to be just about all the way back from multiple facial fractures when he was hit by a foul ball in June of last year. The 27-year-old right-hander said Sunday that he's fully cleared medically, and the expectation is that Bigge will be competing for a spot in Tampa Bay's Opening Day bullpen during upcoming Grapefruit League play.
