INJURIES

Exploring free agency Bard elected free agency Monday.
Impact Bard will assess his options on the open market before deciding his next step, but if he elects to remain in affiliated ball heading into 2023, he may have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency. The 31-year-old made nine relief appearances in the majors between the Yankees and Rays in 2022, logging a 1.80 ERA and 0.93 WHIP but an unremarkable 8:7 K:BB in 15 innings.

Gets call-up The Yankees recalled Bard from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Impact He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Albert Abreu, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Bard has yet to debut for New York after being claimed off waivers earlier this month, but he previously made eight relief appearances at the big-league level with the Rays in 2022, logging a 1.93 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 14 innings.

DeJong lifts Cardinals over Yanks 4-3 in Carpenter's return

AUGUST 6, 2022 • Associated Press
Heading to Bronx Bard was claimed off waivers by the Yankees on Friday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bard was optioned to the minors and subsequently DFA'd by the Rays earlier this week, and he'll remain in the AL East after being claimed by the Yankees. He has a 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB across 14 big-league innings this year and is likely to report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Rays acquire lefty reliever Garrett Cleavinger from Dodgers

The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired left-handed reliever Garrett Cleavinger from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for minor league outfielder Germán Tapia
AUGUST 1, 2022 • Associated Press
Comes off 40-man roster The Rays designated Bard for assignment Monday.
Impact He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to lefty reliever Garrett Cleavinger, whom the Rays acquired from the Dodgers on Monday. Before he was optioned to Triple-A Durham over the weekend, Bard made eight appearances out of the Tampa Bay bullpen this season and submitted a 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB across 14 innings.

Sent down Saturday Bard was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Bard tossed four scoreless innings over his last two appearances, but he'll head back to the minors after Jalen Beeks (lower leg) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday. Bard has been effective in the majors this year, posting a 1.93 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 14 innings.
JULY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Called up from Durham Bard was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact The right-hander was sent down by Tampa Bay on Tuesday but will rejoin the active roster two days later after Shane Baz (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Bard has served as a multi-inning relief option for the Rays this year and has posted a 1.00 ERA and 0.78 WHIP in nine innings over five appearances. Bard hasn't pitched since Monday, so he could be an option to pitch multiple innings Friday against the Orioles since Baz won't be able to make his scheduled start.
JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Heads back to Durham The Rays optioned Bard to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The move is not so much performance related, as Bard held the Red Sox to one run in three innings of relief Monday. Rather, the Rays are presumably just replacing Bard with a fresh arm for the next few days with the All-Star break looming. The 31-year-old could rejoin the big-league roster sometime after the intermission.
JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to big leagues Tampa Bay recalled Bard from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact He'll join the Rays bullpen as a replacement for Phoenix Sanders, who was optioned to Triple-A after he was roughed up for three earned runs across 1.2 innings in relief during Sunday's loss to the Reds. Expect Bard to see most his usage in lower-leverage spots for the duration of his stay in the big leagues.
JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Heads back to minors The Rays optioned Bard to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Bard finds himself as the odd man out for the Rays, who needed to reduce their pitching staff to the MLB-mandated 13 men prior to Monday's game against the Yankees. Outfielder Josh Lowe was added to the active roster as a replacement for Bard, who struck out five over six scoreless frames across his four relief appearances with Tampa Bay following his June 7 call-up from Triple-A.

MLB's Best Brothers: Willson, William Contreras top the list of duos
Called up from minors The Rays recalled Bard from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
Impact He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for fifth starter Ryan Yarbrough, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. The Rays will need to clear room on the roster this weekend in Minnesota, when Shane Baz (elbow) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list and take over Yarbrough's rotation spot. As a result, Bard may be around with the big club for just a few days as an additional bullpen arm.

Impact Bard last pitched in the majors during 2020 with the Angels and has now been added to the 40-man roster by the Rays. He's appeared in nine games for the Bulls this year and has given up five earned runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Elects free agency Bard (hip) has elected free agency, Taylor Blake Ward of HomePlateView.com reports.
Impact Bard was outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster last week, and he'll now seek out other opportunities ahead of spring training in 2022. The 30-year-old made six relief appearances in the majors during the 2021 campaign and recorded a 6.75 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 5.1 innings.
OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Clears waivers Bard (hip) cleared waivers and was outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bard missed the entirety of the season while recovering from hip surgery. He can't be on the 60-day injured list over the offseason, as he'd been all regular season, and the Angels elected not to carry him on their 40-man roster. It's unsurprising to see him pass through waivers unclaimed, as he's a 30-year-old with a 5.05 ERA in 66 carry major-league innings.
