Peter Solomon - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Elects free agency Solomon elected free agency Thursday.

Impact Solomon, 27, got into five games with the Diamondbacks this season, getting roughed up for 18 runs over 13.1 frames. He'll surely have to settle for a minor-league pact this winter.

Outrighted to Triple-A Solomon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Impact He's no longer on the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Solomon has posted an ugly 12.15 ERA over five relief appearances at the major-league level this season.

Removed from 40-man roster Arizona designated Solomon for assignment Monday.

Impact Solomon will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after the Diamondbacks needed to clear room for outfield prospect Kristian Robinson (hamstring), who was reinstated from the restricted list. Since being optioned to Triple-A Reno on May 3 following a month-long stay in the big leagues, Solomon posted a 9.31 ERA and 2.17 WHIP over 9.2 innings.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Demoted to Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Solomon to Triple-A Reno following Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Solomon wasn't needed in relief Tuesday, but he'll lose his spot on the 26-man active roster in any case after the Diamondbacks promoted right-hander Brandon Pfaadt from Triple-A in a corresponding move in advance of his scheduled start in Wednesday's series finale in Texas. During the three-plus weeks he was up with the big club, Solomon made five relief appearances and was blitzed for 18 earned runs on 17 hits and 11 walks over 13.1 innings.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected from Reno The Diamondbacks selected the contract of Solomon from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Impact Solomon joins the Diamondbacks after Arizona placed Zach Davies on the 15-day injured list with a strained left oblique. The right-hander will be a bullpen option for the Diamondbacks and look to make his first MLB appearance since 2021 when he was a member of the Astros.

Reassigned to minor-league camp Solomon was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Impact Solomon was bidding for one of the final spots in the Diamondbacks' bullpen, but his 2023 campaign will instead start with Triple-Reno. The former Houston prospect has a good chance of making appearances for Arizona before the end of the 2023 season, but the D-Backs will have to add him to the 40-man roster in order for that to take place.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bidding for bullpen spot Solomon allowed one hit and two walks while striking out two over 2.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's spring start against the Mariners.

Impact This was Solomon's first Cactus League appearance since March 10, as the right-hander has been victimized by rainouts and a logjam of starters needing work. He's pitched plenty on the back fields while vying for a multi-inning relief role. "There's consistency with the stuff," manager Torey Lovullo told Owen Perkins of MLB.com. "He pitches to spots, pitches to a game plan. I think there's an opportunity to see what he can do in certain situations and give us some length." Solomon was selected in the Rule 5 draft over the winter and could grab a bullpen spot. The decision appears to hinge on whether Lovullo is comfortable moving whichever young starter -- Drey Jameson or Ryne Nelson -- loses out on the No. 5 job to relief.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dumped from 40-man roster Solomon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Solomon was claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh in early September but won't stick on the 40-man roster through the offseason. He spent the entire 2022 campaign at the Triple-A level and had a 5.58 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 98:54 K:BB across 109.2 innings.

Sent to minors Houston optioned Solomon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Solomon was one of four players sent to minor-league camp in the Astros' latest round of roster cuts. The 25-year-old made his big-league debut in 2021 as a reliever, but Houston is still expected to continue developing him as a starter at Sugar Land to begin the 2022 season.

Rejoins major-league roster Solomon was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Friday's game against Oakland, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Solomon was optioned to Houston's taxi squad Monday after earning the win while logging four innings Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Zack Greinke's (neck) move to the injured list opens up a spot for the right-hander to return to the Astros' bullpen for the series opener in Oakland, and he figures to be an option to provide length behind spot starter Brandon Bielak.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Demoted to taxi squad Solomon was optioned to Houston's taxi squad on Monday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact The right-hander allowed one run over four innings of long relief Sunday and has been removed from the big-league roster in favor of a fresh arm. However, Solomon will remain with the team on the taxi squad and could rejoin the active roster before the end of the season.

Impact Solomon pitched at the highest level for the first time since July 1 and looked impressive, giving up just one run despite showing some command issues as his outing progressed. The sample size is really small since he's made just four big-league appearances this season, but Solomon owns a 1.29 ERA so far.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Astros optioned Solomon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The righty was recalled July 1 and pitched a scoreless inning that day, albeit with two hits and a walk. Solomon has pitched three innings total with the Astros this season, each of which has been scoreless, so he may rejoin the bullpen at some point down the road in 2021.

JULY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Astros Solomon was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Solomon tossed two scoreless innings for the Astros earlier in the season, but he was sent down at the end of April and made nine appearances (six starts) with the Triple-A club. He posted a 6.11 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 35.1 innings during that time, but he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen after left-hander Ryan Hartman was sent down Thursday.

He'll now rejoin the big-league club after Jake Odorizzi (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. It's not yet clear who will take Odorizzi's spot in the starting rotation.

APRIL 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact He gave up zero runs while striking out two and allowing one hit and one walk over two innings (two appearances) while up with the big club. The Astros intend to stretch Solomon out in the minors, so he probably won't be back up with the big club anytime soon.
