INJURIES

Claimed by Tampa Bay Littell was claimed off waivers by the Rays on Friday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Littell was designated for assignment by the Red Sox earlier this week and will wind up remaining in the American League East. The reliever is out of options, so he'll join the major-league roster. It's not clear yet what the Rays' corresponding move will be.
MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for assignment Littell was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Littell has lost his roster spot to James Paxton, who is set to make his season debut Friday versus the Cardinals. Littell, 27, allowed three earned runs in three innings (two relief appearances) during his brief stay with Boston.
MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Active in big-league bullpen Littell's contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact The 27-year-old righty had a 3.82 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 106 innings for the Giants from 2021 through 2022, but he'd been working as a Triple-A reliever for the Rangers prior to getting shipped to Boston for cash. Littell should work in low-leverage spots.
MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Report: Rangers trade RHP Zack Littell to Red Sox for cash considerations The Boston Red Sox acquired right-hander Zack Littell from the Texas Rangers on Friday for cash considerations, MLB.com reported
MAY 5, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM
Traded to Boston Littell was acquired by the Red Sox from the Rangers on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact Littell has posted a 2.25 ERA and 16:2 K:BB over 12 innings this season at the Triple-A level. He'll report to Triple-A Worcester for now but could get a look with the big club before long.
MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Signs minor-league deal Littell signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Littell will be in big-league camp as a non-roster invitee. The 27-year-old was highly effective out of the Giants' bullpen in 2021 before stumbling to a 5.08 ERA in 2022. He would seem to have a decent chance to win a middle-relief role in Texas.
JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Loses spot on 40-man roster Littell was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
Impact Littell was sent down in mid-September and will lose his spot on the team's 40-man roster now that the offseason has begun. It's possible that he serves as a non-roster invitee this spring.

Twins rally past Giants 3-2 on Celestino walk in 10th

Gilberto Celestino walked with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied to beat San Francisco 3-2
AUGUST 28, 2022 • Associated Press
Picks up first save Littell pitched a perfect 11th inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.
Impact Littell was the seventh reliever the Giants deployed in this contest, and he was able to lock things down after Wilmer Flores' sacrifice fly put them ahead in the top of the 11th. Littell has covered three scoreless innings in two appearances since returning from an oblique injury Wednesday. He has a 4.59 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 33.1 innings this year, though he's added only one save and three holds as more of a low-leverage reliever. As such, he shouldn't be considered likely to see many additional save chances.
AUGUST 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reinstated from 15-day IL Littell (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact Littell sustained a left oblique strain in early July and spent just over a month on the injured list, but he was in the minors on a rehab assignment for two and a half weeks. The right-hander posted a 4.05 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 6.2 innings over seven rehab appearances and will rejoin the Giants' bullpen ahead of Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rehab moves to Triple-A Littell's (oblique) rehab assignment was transferred from Single-A San Jose to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
Impact Across those two levels of the minors, Littell has allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three in four scoreless innings through four rehab appearances. Given the results so far, the right-hander doesn't seem too far away from rejoining the Giants.
AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rehab assignment on tap Littell (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A San Jose on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Littell has been on the injured list since early July due to his left oblique strain but is closing in on a return. It's not yet clear how many rehab appearances the right-hander will require before he's able to rejoin the Giants' bullpen, but it's possible that he'll be activated as early as next week.
JULY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out with strained oblique Littell landed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Littell was recalled Thursday and walked four batters in 1.1 innings of relief against the Padres the next day. Those command issues now look like they were injury-related. It's not yet clear how much time he's expected to miss.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to San Francisco Littell was recalled by the Giants on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Jose Alvarez (elbow) was placed on the injured list, creating a need in the bullpen. Littell will fill that void, and he's managed a 4.97 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 29 innings with the Giants on the season.
JULY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to Triple-A Littell was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Littell pitched Thursday against Atlanta and allowed one run over three innings, and he'll head to the minors in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. The 26-year-old has a 4.97 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 29 major-league innings this season.
JUNE 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scoreless streak ends Littell allowed two runs on a hit and a hit batter in one inning during Tuesday's 12-10 win over Atlanta.
Impact Littell hit Michael Harris with a pitch and then surrendered a two-run home run to Ronald Acuna in the fourth inning. That briefly gave Atlanta the lead, but San Francisco pulled ahead in the sixth and held on from there to spare Littell a loss. He's given up four runs in his last 10.1 innings, and he's still looking a little shaky with a 5.19 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 22:3 K:BB across 26 innings overall. The right-hander has added a 1-2 record and three holds, but with six homers allowed, he'll need to work on keeping the ball in the yard to find more success.
JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Handed loss Tuesday Littell (1-2) allowed two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies.
Impact Littell allowed consecutive singles to Jose Iglesias and Randal Grichuk before getting an out. Charlie Blackmon then entered as a pinch hitter for the Rockies, and manager Gabe Kapler responded with Jose Alvarez on the mound, who promptly allowed both inherited runners from Littell to score on a home run. Prior to Tuesday, the right-hander had pitched 5.2 scoreless innings in his last four appearances. He's now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB in 21.2 innings overall.
JUNE 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Credited with win Littell (1-1) earned the win Friday over the Marlins. He allowed a hit and struck out four in two innings.
Impact The Giants went with a bullpen game Friday, but their offense established a large lead early. Littell pitched the fifth and sixth innings in this contest. He's gone 5.2 innings without allowing a run over his last four appearances as he continues to bounce back from a rough May. Overall, the right-hander has a 4.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 21.1 innings in a versatile middle-innings role.
JUNE 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Throws clean inning Littell pitched a perfect inning in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mets.
Impact Littell has struggled for much of May. He's allowed 11 runs on 18 hits and two walks across 10.2 innings in his nine appearances this month after keeping runs off the board in all six of his April outings. The right-hander's struggles have left him with a 5.94 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings. He's added two holds and an 0-1 record, but he's seen mostly low-leverage work lately.
MAY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers loss in return Littell (0-1) was tagged with the loss against St. Louis on Thursday, pitching two innings and allowing one run on two hits while striking out three.
Impact Littell missed over a week while on the COVID-19 injured list, but he was activated Thursday and immediately thrust into action in a bullpen game for the Giants. The right-hander was the second pitcher to appear for San Francisco, and he was the only hurler on the team to complete two full innings. Littell looked good by throwing 26 of 36 pitches for strikes and fanning three, but a Yadier Molina solo homer in the third inning was enough to have him tagged with the loss. The run was the first allowed by Littell in seven appearances this season.
MAY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reinstated from COVID-19 list Littell (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Littell landed on the injured list April 26 and reportedly experienced mild symptoms. Prior to being sidelined, he had not allowed an earned run across six innings while striking out five and walking none in a relief role.
MAY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tests positive for COVID-19 Littell was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Littell officially landed on the shelf without an injury designation prior to Tuesday's win over the A's, but manager Gabe Kapler clarified the right-hander's outlook after the contest. The 26-year-old is experiencing mild symptoms and will remain away from the team until he clears MLB's testing protocols.
APRIL 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on injured list Littell (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Tuesday.
Impact The move didn't come with an injury designation, so Littell may have been placed on the COVID-19 IL. Kervin Castro was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
APRIL 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not giving up much Littell has allowed just three hits and no walks while striking out two over five innings in 2022.
Impact The right-hander pitched well in spring training, and he's carried over that success into the regular season. Littell has often entered in the middle innings, though his solid work thus far could help his case for high-leverage work. He's yet to record a decision, but he has picked up a hold in five outings.
APRIL 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Solid in spring Littell has allowed one run on three hits with one strikeout in three innings across three Cactus League games.
Impact Littell was very effective in 2021, working in everything from an opener role to a fill-in at closer occasionally. He posted a 2.92 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 63:24 K:BB with a 4-0 record, two saves and five holds in 61.2 innings. Entering 2022, Giants manager Gabe Kapler still hesitates to give strictly defined roles to his relievers. Jake McGee, Camilo Doval and Tyler Rogers are expected to be in the closer committee, while Littell's versatility will see him often work in the middle innings. Given his 3.86 FIP from last season, he'll likely face a little regression in 2022.
