Reporting to Triple-A Ort (elbow) was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Impact Ort lost his spot on the 40-man roster Friday after the club signed Brent Suter. After going unclaimed on waivers, Ort will report to Triple-A to prepare for the upcoming 2026 campaign. The status of his elbow remains unclear at this time.

Booted from 40-man roster The Angels designated Ort (elbow) for assignment Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Brent Suter. Ort has been in three organizations already this offseason and could make it a fourth as he goes back on waivers. He missed the final month of last season with an elbow injury and it's unclear whether he's fully healthy.

Claimed by Angels The Angels claimed Ort (elbow) off waivers from the Yankees on Wednesday.

Impact After posting a 2.55 ERA and 26:4 K:BB over 24.2 regular-season innings in 2024, Ort regressed to a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings with the Astros in 2025. He also missed the final month of this past season with elbow inflammation, and it's unclear whether he'll be full-go for the start of spring training. Ort is out of minor-league options, so he has a good shot to be in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen if he's still with the team at that point.

Booted off 40-man roster The Yankees designated Ort (elbow) for assignment Friday.

Impact The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Michael Siani. Ort was a waiver claim himself earlier this month, and because he has the ability to refuse an outright assignment, his stint in the Yankees organization will likely be ending soon. The righty reliever posted a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings with the Astros in 2025 and missed the final month of the season with elbow inflammation.

Picked up by Yankees The Yankees claimed Ort (elbow) off waivers from the Astros on Friday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Impact Ort was terrific for the Astros in 2024 after being claimed off waivers, but he took a step back in 2025, finishing with a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings. He also missed the final month of the season with elbow inflammation, although it would seem the Yankees believe that injury is behind him. Ort will compete for a bullpen job and does not have minor-league options remaining.
