The Orioles picked up relief depth on May 4, as former Athletics, Yankees, and Phillies pitcher Lou Trivino signed with Baltimore. And speaking of the Yankees, former New York outfielder Randal Grichuk found a new home in Chicago.

Grichuk with White Sox

Randal Grichuk signed a Major League deal to join the White Sox.

Grichuk signed with the Yankees during the spring and landed a spot on the team’s active roster to begin 2026. However, he posted an OPS just over .500 and was DFA’d by the Yanks last week.

Trivino signs with Orioles

The Orioles signed reliever Lou Trivino to a Major League deal.

Trivino pitched well in Triple-A this season, where he struck out 20 over 13 innings with Lehigh Valley in the Phillies’ organization. He was released three days earlier by the Phillies.

Recalls & options

The Giants recalled three players on the 4th: Bryce Eldridge, Trevor McDonald, and Jesus Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a catcher who was hitting well in Sacramento, was acquired in the Camilo Doval trade last July.

Josh Simpson (Mariners), Zach Cole (Astros), Ty Madden (Tigers), Chase Petty (Reds), Cesar Prieto (Cardinals), and Sam Aldegheri (Angels) were also recalled from the Minors.

Blake Perkins (Brewers), Trey Gibson (Orioles), Zach Dezenzo (Astros), Cole Wilcox (Mariners), Thomas Saggese (Cardinals), Will Brennan (Giants), Zach Maxwell (Reds), and Shay Whitcomb (Astros) were optioned to Triple-A.

Other notes

The Braves designated catcher Jonah Heim for assignment, a move to clear space for Sean Murphy.

Nick Sandlin (Angels), Daniel Johnson (Astros), Jerar Encarnacion (Giants), and Greg Jones (Brewers) were also DFA’d.

The Red Sox selected the contract of Alec Gamboa and added him to the 40-man roster. Houston did the same with catcher Cesar Salazar.

Orioles pitcher Albert Suarez was sent outright to Triple-A.

Cionel Perez (Nationals) elected free agency.
