Yoniel Curet - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Outrighted to Toledo Curet cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The 23-year-old righty has been in the minors since the beginning of the season but lost his 40-man spot Saturday to make room for Ricky Vanasco. Curet will remain in the organization after passing through waivers and look to bounce back at Toledo after giving up three runs (one earned) in just two-thirds of an inning during his lone outing.

Designated for assignment The Tigers designated Curet for assignment Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Curet has made just one appearance at Triple-A this season, during which he allowed three runs (one earned) while walking three batters and striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. He'll end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Ricky Vanasco, who was selected to the big-league squad Saturday.

Claimed off waivers by Tigers The Tigers claimed Curet off waivers from the Phillies on Monday.

Impact Curet has yet to make an appearance this season, though it does not seem to be due to injury. The Tigers have assigned the hard-throwing righty to their Florida Complex League affiliate, so they will have their coaching staff take a look at Curet before deciding how best to deploy him.

Designated for assignment The Phillies designated Curet for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Steward Berroa, who was acquired via trade. Curet was a waiver claim of the Phillies over the offseason and made three appearances in spring training, but he's yet to pitch since the minor-league season began. The 23-year-old has erratic control but a big arm, which could get him scooped up on waivers.

Sent down to Double-A The Phillies optioned Curet to Double-A Reading on Saturday.

Impact Curet reached Triple-A for the first time last season while in the Rays organization, though he posted an unsightly 6.03 ERA and 1.93 WHIP over 31.1 innings. He was traded to Philadelphia during the offseason and will now head back to Double-A to begin his tenure with his new club.

Traded to Philadelphia The Phillies acquired Curet from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for Tommy McCollum, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Curet had been designated for assignment and will now go on the Phillies' 40-man roster. The 23-year-old right-hander does have minor-league options remaining and will likely begin the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Curet has a big arm but held a 6.03 ERA and 1.93 WHIP over 31.1 frames at Triple-A Durham in 2025.

Outfielder Cedric Mullins and Tampa Bay Rays finalize $7.5 million, 1-year contract

Outfielder Cedric Mullins and the Tampa Bay Rays have finalized a $7.5 million, one-year contract that includes a mutual option for 2027

Designated for assignment The Rays designated Curet for assignment Saturday.

Impact The 23-year-old righty will depart the Rays' 40-man roster in order to make room for Cedric Mullins, whose signing was made official Saturday. Curet turned in a 1.45 ERA over 18.2 innings in Double-A this past season but struggled upon being promoted to Triple-A, where he accumulated a 6.03 ERA and 1.93 WHIP over 31.1 frames.

Back at full strength Curet (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Curet finished up a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on June 27 and saw his first appearance for Triple-A on Thursday against Columbus. His command evaded him at times, surrendering a pair of walks, but he managed to strike out three over two scoreless innings in what was ultimately a successful outing.

Dealing with shoulder injury Curet is dealing with a right shoulder injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

Impact Curet was placed on the 60-day injured list in late-March with an undisclosed injury, and now we know a bit more about the nature of the injury, although we don't have a timetable or a specific diagnosis. He is already on the 40-man roster and needed to prove this season that his fantastic finish to 2024 (1.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 106:29 K:BB in 73.2 innings over his final 15 starts) was no fluke and that he has the command to start. It's possible the Rays will fast-track him to the bullpen this year or next, but Curet has the upside to close games if he doesn't make it as a starter.

Opens season on Double-A IL Double-A Montgomery placed Curet on its 60-day injured list Saturday due to an unspecified injury.

Impact Curet is heading into his second season as a member of the Rays' 40-man roster, but he's still a long way off from reaching the majors. He's made just five starts above the High-A level, and he looks to be in line to miss at least a couple months away from making his 2025 debut after he apparently got injured during spring training. The 22-year-old righty found immediate success with Montgomery last season following his promotion from High-A Bowling Green, turning in a 1.75 ERA while striking out 37 batters over 25.2 innings.

Optioned to minors camp The Rays optioned Curet to minor-league camp Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The club's top pitching prospect, Curet allowing one run with a 1:1 K:BB over two innings this spring. The 22-year-old finished with a flourish late last season at Double-A Montgomery and could be headed back there to begin the 2025 season.

Moves up to Double-A The Rays promoted Curet from High-A Bowling Green to Double-A Montgomery on Wednesday.

Impact The 21-year-old righty earned the bump up to Double-A after turning in a 3.28 ERA and 122:49 K:BB across 93.1 innings at Bowling Green. Curet already possesses a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, though he probably won't be a realistic option for the Tampa Bay rotation until the second half of the 2025 season.
