JEURYS FAMILIA NEWS

Hoping for MLB comeback Familia is hoping to get another shot in the major leagues in 2025, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Familia, 35, has not pitched in the big leagues since he was released by the Athletics in May of 2023 after posting a 6.39 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 9:13 K:BB over 12.2 innings that year. The veteran reliever pitched in the Mexican League and Dominican Winter League this past season, allowing six runs with an 11:5 K:BB over 17.1 frames between the two stops. If Familia does catch on with a major-league club, it surely would be on a minor-league deal.

On open market Familia was released by the Athletics on May 6.

Impact Familia was designated for assignment by Oakland in early May and was cut loose by the organization a couple days later. The 33-year-old made two saves and one hold in 14 appearances with a 6.39 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 9:13 K:BB over 12.2 innings.

Designated for assignment Familia was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact Familia actually leads the A's with two saves this season, but he also has a 6.39 ERA and hideous 9:13 K:BB over 12.2 innings. The veteran reliever will undoubtedly clear waivers and is probably looking at a minor-league deal for his next contract.

Blows save Saturday Familia (0-1) took the loss and blew the save against the Reds on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over one inning. He struck out two.

Impact Familia was handed the ball with Oakland clinging to a one-run lead in the ninth inning, but he couldn't get the job done. The right-hander allowed three of the first five batters he faced to reach base -- two by walk -- and saw the lead disappear when Jake Fraley tagged him for a two-out, two-run double. Familia had notched a save in two of his previous three outings coming into Saturday, so he's likely still going to see chances to close. However, he's posted a poor 6.57 ERA and 8:12 K:BB on the campaign, and given that the A's have started with an ugly 5-28 record, Familia is likely the least desirable closer in the game for fantasy purposes.

Escapes with save Familia allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in one inning against the Angels on Monday. He struck out one and earned a save.

Impact Familia was brought in to protect a three-run lead in the 10th inning and narrowly made it out. He served up a two-run homer to Brandon Drury but eventually retired Mike Trout with two runners on base to finish off the 11-10 win. Familia has converted two of his three save chances this season while posting a 5.73 ERA across 11 innings.

Notches first save Familia earned a save over Texas on Friday while walking one batter in a scoreless inning.

Impact Familia worked around a leadoff walk to close out the 5-4 victory. It was his first save of the season and his first opportunity since April 12. His third straight scoreless outing lowered his season ERA to 5.40 with a 4:8 K:BB through 10 innings.

In the mix for saves Familia, Trevor May and Dany Jimenez could all be used in closer situations this season, Athletics manager Mark Kotsay told Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday.

Impact Familia was just added to the roster by the A's over the weekend after being cut loose by the Diamondbacks. The 33-year-old has the most closing experience of the three, although he hasn't been a regular closer for a few years and is coming off a season which saw him post a 6.09 ERA. Familia is probably best left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Makes A's debut Sunday Familia allowed an unearned run on two hits over one inning in the Athletics' 9-5 Bay Bridge Series exhibition loss to the Giants on Sunday. He struck out two.

Impact The veteran reliever just signed Saturday and was put right to work, with Familia throwing 22 pitches overall in his Athletics debut. The 33-year-old should be in line for a solid workload to open the regular season considering his experience, but it's unlikely he logs any save chances unless multiple injuries strike the high-leverage options in front of him.

Impact Familia was designated for assignment by Boston on Tuesday and will choose to test free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Worcester.

Joins active roster Familia's contract was selected by the Red Sox on Saturday.

Impact Familia was released by the Phillies last Saturday, but he didn't have to wait long to get back to the big leagues. He signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox on Tuesday and will be a part of the big-league bullpen just four days later. Whether or not he'll be particularly useful to his new club is unclear, as he struggled to a 6.09 ERA during his time in Philadelphia.

Finds work with Red Sox Familia signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Joe McDonald of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

Impact Familia was released by the Phillies on Saturday, and it did not take him long to find a new home. Familia had a rough go of it over 38 appearances out of Philadelphia's bullpen, but if he can get back on track with Triple-A Worcester he could get another shot in the big leagues before the campaign comes to a close.

Hits open market Familia was released by the Phillies on Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander couldn't get going with Philadelphia at any point and the team designated him for assignment earlier in the week. No club was willing to take him off waivers given what he's making this season, but Familia has a decade of big-league experience and was a serviceable reliever as recently as last season, so another team may look to bring him in at the minimum.

Loses roster spot Familia was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Familia signed a $6 million deal over the winter, but his Phillies tenure will come to an inglorious end after 34 poor innings. He carried a respectable 3.32 ERA through his first 24 appearances, but a brutal seven-week stretch in which he posted a 10.95 ERA means he'll leave the roster with a 6.09 ERA to his name. Familia never earned a save for the Phillies, so his departure is unlikely to alter the ninth-inning picture in Philadelphia.
