Cut from camp competition The Tigers reassigned Effross (oblique) to minor-league camp Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Effross made three Grapefruit League appearances before his bid for a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen effectively ended after he was shut down just over a week ago after suffering a left oblique strain. If he's not cleared to face hitters by the time minor-league camp ends this weekend, Effross could begin the season on Triple-A Toledo's injured list.

Begins throwing program Effross (oblique) started a throwing program this week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Non-tendered by Yanks The Yankees did not tender Effross a contract for 2026 on Friday, making him a free agent.

Loses roster spot The Yankees optioned Effross to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Impact Effross was optioned after struggling in Friday's loss to Philadelphia, giving up four runs on four hits with one walk and no strikeouts over one inning.

New York figures to bring up a fresh arm to replace Effross in the bullpen, but that move has not yet been made.

Optioned to SWB The Yankees optioned Effross to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Impact Effross pitched a scoreless inning Tuesday in his lone appearance with the Yankees after being recalled from Triple-A last week.
