The Cleveland Guardians claimed pitcher Matt Krook off waivers from the Oakland Athletics and assigned him to Triple-A Columbus, adding depth to their bullpen after Krook's brief stint with the A's and his strong minor league performance.

The Orioles acquired left-hander Matt Krook from the Yankees in exchange for cash considerations, designating infielder Diego Castillo for assignment to make room for Krook on the 40-man roster. Krook, who struggled in his brief MLB debut, was dominant at the Triple-A level last year. He is expected to join Baltimore's bullpen mix. Meanwhile, Castillo, who has been part of multiple organizations recently, has been designated for assignment by the Orioles after being claimed off waivers just two days ago.
The New York Yankees have claimed infielder Jordan Groshans off waivers from the Marlins and designated lefty reliever Matt Krook for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Groshans, a former highly-regarded talent, struggled in the majors and spent the 2023 season in Triple-A. The Yankees can still send him to Triple-A for the next two years if they keep him on the 40-man roster. Meanwhile, Krook, who made his major league debut last season, has shown potential with high strikeout rates in Triple-A but struggles with command. The Yankees have a week to trade Krook or attempt to run him through waivers.
The New York Yankees have placed pitcher Nestor Cortes on the 15-day injured list due to a left rotator cuff strain. The move is retroactive to Monday.
