Yosver Zulueta - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Bumped from 40-man roster Zulueta cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Impact Zulueta was claimed off waivers from the Cubs over the summer and spent all of last season in Triple-A, where he compiled a 3.74 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings of relief in the Baltimore organization.

Finds work with Baltimore The Orioles claimed Zulueta off waivers from the Cubs on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact The 28-year-old righty reliever will move on to his fifth different organization since the start of 2024, despite having posted mediocre numbers at the big-league level over the past two seasons (5.32 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 25:11 K:BB in 23.2 innings) and at the Triple-A level in 2026 (7.54 ERA, 1.90 WHIP, 24:20 K:BB in 22.2 innings). Zulueta boasts a big fastball that can hit 100 mph, and the Orioles are hoping that their staff can help him harness his control at the Triple-A level and emerge as an effective reliever for the big club down the road.

Scrubbed from 40-man roster The Mariners designated Zulueta for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Seattle needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster. Zulueta has spent all of the 2026 season at Triple-A Tacoma, holding a 5.75 ERA and 21:16 K:BB across 20.1 frames. He stands a decent chance of passing through waivers, and if that happens he could remain in the organization.

Impact Zulueta was traded to Seattle from the Reds in January, and he was able to produce a 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over seven innings in eight appearances with the Mariners during spring training. The right-hander struggled to a 6.14 ERA over 7.1 innings in seven appearances out of the bullpen with Cincinnati in 2025. He'll look to get into a groove at Tacoma in an attempt to get another shot with the Mariners' major-league roster this season.

Headed to Seattle The Reds traded Zulueta to the Mariners on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact After being DFA'd by the Reds earlier in the day, Zulueta will recapture a 40-man roster spot upon joining his new club. The 27-year-old righty allowed five earned runs in just 7.1 regular-season innings with the Reds during 2025 but finished with a 3.28 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 60.1 frames in Triple-A. He's likely ticketed to begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma.
