Peter Strzelecki - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back with Brewers on MiLB deal The Brewers signed Strzelecki to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Strzelecki opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees last week after holding a 4.81 ERA and 29:5 K:BB over 24.1 frames at the Triple-A level this season. The 31-year-old came up through the Brewers' minor-league system and first reached the majors with them in 2022, so it's a homecoming of sorts for Strzelecki.

Opts out of minor-league contract The Yankees released Strzelecki on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Strzelecki exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and is now a free agent. The 31-year-old reliever has collected a 4.81 ERA and 29:5 K:BB over 24.1 frames at the Triple-A level this season. He has not pitched in the majors since 2024.

Inks MiLB deal with Yankees Strzelecki signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Strzelecki elected free agency Wednesday after being DFA'd by the Brewers, and he'll now receive an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in the Yankees organization. He will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, though his career 3.44 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in the majors make him a strong candidate for promotion at some point this season.

Elects free agency Strzelecki cleared waivers Wednesday and elected free agency, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Strzelecki was selected to the Brewers' active roster Saturday to provide extra bullpen depth but was DFA'd by the team Sunday without ever making an appearance. He'll now explore his options in free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed, though he will likely have to settle for another minor-league contract.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Milwaukee The Brewers designated Strzelecki for assignment Sunday.

Impact Milwaukee selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, and he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters without appearing in a game. The right-hander had a 3.92 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 20.2 innings prior to being called up by the Brewers.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected The Brewers selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Strzelecki returned to the Brewers on a minor-league deal during the offseason and has begun the 2026 campaign by posting a 3.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP alongside a 21:4 K:BB through 20.2 innings in Triple-A. The 31-year-old righty will now return to the majors for the first time since 2024 and presumably take on a middle-relief role with the Brewers.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Back at full strength Strzelecki recorded two strikeouts in a scoreless inning during Sunday's Cactus League game against the White Sox.

Impact Strzelecki suffered a right elbow strain last season but has since put the injury behind him. The 31-year-old looked sharp in his first action of the spring, firing 11 of his 13 pitches for strikes. Strzelecki inked a minor-league deal with the Brewers earlier in February and will continue to compete for a bullpen spot as camp rolls on.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Nets NRI deal from Brewers The Brewers signed Strzelecki (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Strzelecki was limited to 22 innings at the Triple-A level in 2025 due to a right elbow strain, posting a 9.41 ERA and 18:13 K:BB. He last pitched in mid-July and it's unclear whether he'll have any restrictions at the start of spring training. Strzelecki holds a 3.44 ERA and 86:30 K:BB over 83.2 frames in the majors, which includes a 36-appearance stint with Milwaukee in 2023.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Out at Triple-A with strained elbow Strzelecki has been placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Durham with a right elbow strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Strzelecki inked a minor-league contract earlier this month and had made only two appearance for Durham before getting hurt. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined.

Gets MiLB pact from Rays The Rays signed Strzelecki to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Impact Strzelecki was released by the Pirates last week after holding a 9.90 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 20 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis. The right-handed reliever has pitched well during his chances at the big-league level with a 3.44 ERA and 86:30 K:BB across 83.2 frames. He will give the Rays some experienced relief depth at Triple-A Durham.

JULY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Pirates The Pirates released Strzelecki on Tuesday.

Impact Strzelecki gave up just three runs in 11.2 innings with the Guardians last season, but he owns a 9.90 ERA through 20 frames in Triple-A this year. He'll now attempt to latch on with another franchise, almost certainly on a minor-league deal.

Released by Pirates The Pirates released Strzelecki on Tuesday.

Outrighted to Indy Strzelecki cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Strzelecki was stripped of his roster spot at the end of spring training in favor of Ryan Borucki, but the former will stick with the organization in Triple-A. Strzelecki turned in a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings with the Guardians' Triple-A affiliate last year, and a repeat of those numbers in 2025 would make it hard for him to return to the majors anytime soon.

MARCH 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Pittsburgh GM Ben Cherington announced Wednesday that Strzelecki was designated for assignment, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The right-hander was unable to earn a place on the Pirates' Opening Day roster after being acquired from the Guardians for cash in November, and he'll also lose his place on the 40-man roster to free up space for non-roster invitee Ryan Borucki. Strzelecki had a 2.31 ERA in 10 regular-season appearances with Cleveland last year but also struggled to a 5.01 ERA at the Triple-A level.

MARCH 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shipped to Pittsburgh The Guardians traded Strzelecki to the Pirates on Friday.

Impact Strzelecki was designated for assignment Tuesday in order to make room for Franco Aleman on the Guardians' 40-man roster, but the former will now claim a spot on Pittsburgh's 40-man upon switching organizations. The 30-year-old put up a 5.01 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 46.2 innings in the minors last season, and he will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen during spring training.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ousted from 40-man roster The Guardians designated Strzelecki for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Strzelecki was effective during his time in the majors last season, allowing just three runs over 11.2 innings with the Guardians. However, his 5.01 ERA at Triple-A Columbus makes him significantly less reliable than his MLB statline would suggest, so the team will strip him of his 40-man spot and use it to protect fellow right-hander Franco Aleman from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact He's clearing out to make room for Tuesday's starter, Matthew Boyd. Strzelecki has permitted three runs with a 9:3 K:BB over 11.2 relief innings for the Guardians this season.

Rejoins major-league club The Guardians recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

Impact Strzelecki has allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings during his time with Cleveland this season. He'll give the bullpen a fresh arm.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed back to minors The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Impact The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for left-hander Joey Cantillo, who will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Phillies. Strzelecki made four outings out of the Guardians' bullpen since being recalled from Columbus on July 21. Over those four outings, the 29-year-old right-hander allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings. In 29 Triple-A appearances this season, Strzelecki has a 4.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 32.1 innings.

Moves up to big leagues The Guardians recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Impact He'll join the Cleveland bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Spencer Howard, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Strzelecki tossed 5.2 scoreless innings over four relief appearances with Cleveland earlier this season but has otherwise spent the entire 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he's turned in a 4.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 32.1 frames.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Impact He's clearing out to make room for Xzavion Curry, who will start Monday's game. Strzelecki is unscored upon in two appearances during his brief time with the Guardians this season.

APRIL 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Booted off 40-man roster The Diamondbacks designated Strzelecki for assignment Monday.

Impact A trade-deadline pickup from the Brewers last August, Strzelecki made only one appearance for Arizona after he struggled to an 8.76 ERA and 2.31 WHIP over his 12.1 innings at Triple-A Reno following the deal. Strzelecki will be ticketed for a relief role at Reno to begin the 2024 campaign, but he'll first have to pass through waivers after Arizona moved him off the 40-man roster Monday.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down following twin bill Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Strzelecki served as the 27th man during Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres and allowed a hit and two walks during 1.1 scoreless relief innings. He'll head back to the minors but could rejoin the Diamondbacks at some point if they need additional bullpen help.
