Zack Burdi - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Hits open market Burdi elected free agency Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old remained with the Dodgers after being outrighted off the 40-man roster in early June, but he'll now enter the open market. Burdi never made an appearance for Los Angeles but pitched in three games for Tampa Bay earlier in the season, and he allowed five earned runs across four innings.

Outrighted to Triple-A Burdi was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Burdi passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Dodgers last week. The 28-year-old right-hander will remain in the organization.

Designated for assignment The Dodgers designated Burdi for assignment Thursday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Less than a week after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay, Burdi will be the Dodgers' roster casualty after the team traded for Ricky Vanasco on Thursday. The 28-year-old righty holds a 8.44 ERA during his major-league career and will likely have to improve upon his 4.91 ERA in Triple-A this season before he gets another shot in the bigs.

Optioned following waiver claim Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City after being claimed off waivers from the Rays on Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact The Rays deemed Burdi no longer worthy of a 40-man roster spot, but the Dodgers will keep him around in that role, albeit not as part of the active roster. The oft-injured righty owns a career 8.44 ERA in 21.1 innings at the major-league level after giving up six runs (five earned) in his four innings with Tampa Bay.

Claimed off waivers by LAD The Dodgers claimed Burdi off waivers from the Rays on Friday.

Impact Burdi was designated for assignment by Tampa Bay this past Wednesday after yielding six runs -- five earned -- over four innings of relief. He holds a career 8.44 ERA at the MLB level, but maybe the Dodgers can work some of their magic on the 28-year-old right-hander.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Tampa Bay designated Burdi for assignment Wednesday, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

Impact Burdi was lit up for six runs -- five earned -- in Tuesday's 20-1 loss to the Blue Jays. The right-hander is removed from both the 40-man and the 26-man active roster to make room for Ben Heller, with Heller's contract being selected from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday. If Burdi goes unclaimed or isn't traded, he'll likely report back to Triple-A to provide depth for the Rays for the rest of 2023.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Burdi was recalled from Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Burdi is replacing Jake Diekman, who went on paternity leave. He's tossed three scoreless frames with the Rays this season but might be headed back to Durham once Diekman returns.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Thursday.

Impact Burdi had just returned to the majors Wednesday but is now clearing out to make room for Thursday's starter, Taj Bradley. He's tossed three scoreless frames with the Rays this season and should be back eventually.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected from Triple-A Tampa Bay selected Burdi's contract from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

Impact Burdi is back on the 40- and 26-man roster after being designated for assignment last Wednesday. The right-hander will take the place of Yonny Chirinos on the roster after Chirinos was optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Wednesday.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Burdi cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Impact Burdi was designated for assignment by the Rays on Wednesday but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old delivered three scoreless innings during his brief time in the majors but has a 6.75 ERA in six appearances for Durham this season.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Burdi was designated for assignment by Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Chase Anderson after Anderson was acquired in deal from Cincinnati on Wednesday. Burdi didn't allow a run in his two appearances with the Rays late in April, but he'll now hit the waiver wire and he'll have to be added back to the 40-man roster to pitch for the Rays if he does go unclaimed.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Burdi threw a total of three innings over two appearances the last two days and didn't allow a run. Unfortunately, it also meant he probably wouldn't be available for at least a day or two and that might have cost him a roster spot.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected from Triple-A The Rays selected the contract of Burdi from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Burdi was signed to a minor-league contract by the Rays in January, and the hard-throwing right-hander registered a 6.75 ERA with a 7:7 K:BB with Durham over six appearances. He'll likely operate in the middle innings while with the Rays. Heath Hembree was designated for assignment to make room for Burdi on the roster.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Nationals on MiLB deal Burdi signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals last week.

APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Arizona Burdi was released by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burdi was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks in October but has been let go early in spring traing. He appeared in seven games between the White Sox and Orioles last year and had a 5.40 ERA over 10 innings.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Diamondbacks Burdi was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact Burdi was sent down by the Orioles in early September, and he'll land another spot on a 40-man roster heading into the offseason after he was waived by Baltimore. The right-hander made seven relief appearances with the Orioles and White Sox this year and posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 10 innings.

OCTOBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Tuesday Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Impact Burdi spent just over a week in the major-league bullpen but made only one appearance during his time with the Orioles. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning against the Royals on Monday but will head back to the minors as part of a series of moves to provide fresh arms in the bullpen.

Impact Burdi was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Aug. 18, and he recorded a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in three innings across his three appearances at Triple-A Norfolk. He posted a 6.00 ERA in nine innings across six appearances with the White Sox earlier in the season, and he should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever with his new club.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Burdi was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Monday after he recorded a 7.30 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 24.2 innings across 23 relief appearances at Triple-A Charlotte this season. The 26-year-old was selected by the White Sox in the first round of the 2016 first-year player draft but failed to put things together while dealing with injuries earlier in his career. He'll attempt to generate better results at Triple-A Norfolk as part of the Orioles' 40-man roster.

White Sox place OF Engel on IL with shoulder inflammation

The Chicago White Sox have placed outfielder Adam Engel on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation

AUGUST 16, 2021 • Associated Press

Removed from 40-man roster The White Sox designated Burdi for assignment Monday.

Impact A 2016 first-round draft pick, Burdi once looked like a potential closer of the future for the White Sox while he was coming up through the farm system, but a series of injuries in recent years have dimmed his long-term outlook. Even though he's managed to avoid the injury bug in 2021, Burdi has been a diminished version of himself this season at Charlotte, delivering a 7.30 ERA while serving up eight home runs in 24.2 innings. The White Sox will drop him from their 40-man roster to clear a spot for right-hander Mike Wright, whose contract was selected from Charlotte ahead of Monday's series opener versus Oakland.
