Headed overseas Feliz was released by the Yankees on Monday.

Impact Feliz asked for and was granted his release so that he could sign with the Chunichi Dragons in Japan. The 30-year-old had posted a 3.38 ERA in 13 relief appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after inking a minor-league deal in May.

Signs minor-league deal Feliz signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Thursday.

Impact Feliz was assigned to the FCL Yankees on Friday after signing Thursday, but he'll likely move up to the higher levels in the coming days. Feliz made just one appearance in the majors in 2022 for the Red Sox, and struggled to a 7.20 ERA while spending time with four MLB clubs in 2021 over 21 appearances. The right-hander is not likely to do more than provide depth for the Yankees in 2023, and he would need to be added to the 40-man roster to help the big-league club.

Signs minor-league contract Feliz signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Impact Feliz elected free agency last week after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox, but he'll now attempt to carve out a role in the Twins' minor-league system. He posted a 3.28 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 24.2 innings over 18 appearances (three starts) at Triple-A Worcester and will report to Triple-A St. Paul to begin his time with his new organization.

Elects free agency Feliz cleared waivers and elected free agency Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Feliz was designated for assignment by Boston last week and will choose to test the waters in free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Worcester. The right-hander gave up two runs (one earned) on a hit and two walks while striking out four in 3.1 innings during his lone appearance for the Red Sox this year.

Designated for assignment Feliz was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Feliz's contract was selected Thursday, but he'll be removed from the 40-man roster after he gave up two runs (one earned) on a hit and two walks while striking out four in 3.1 relief innings Friday against the Yankees. It's not yet clear whether the 29-year-old will remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Contract selected by Red Sox Feliz's contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

Impact Feliz was invited to major-league spring training this year but ultimately began the regular season in Worcester. The right-hander has posted a 3.28 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 24.2 innings over 18 appearances (three starts) in the minors this year and will join Boston's bullpen after right-hander Tyler Danish was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Red Sox Feliz signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Feliz appeared in 21 big-league games during 2021 with the Red Sox, Reds, A's and Pirates, and he finished with a 7.20 ERA across 20 innings. He'll face long odds of making Boston's Opening Day roster in spring training.

Haniger hits 2 HRs, M's beat A's to gain in wild-card race

Designated for assignment Feliz was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Monday.

Impact It's been a busy season for Feliz, who's now been designated for assignment by four separate organizations, having previously earned that dubious honor for the Pirates, Reds and Red Sox. He's only thrown 20 innings between those four organizations and has struggled to a 7.20 ERA, though both his 24.4 percent strikeout rate and 7.8 percent walk rate are fine marks. Luis Barrera was called up to take his place on the roster.

Added to major-league roster Feliz was added to the Athletics' 28-man roster ahead of Tuesday's game against Seattle.

Impact Feliz was claimed off waivers from Boston on Monday and now he's set to join Oakland's bullpen for the final 12 games of the regular season. The right-hander has already appeared in 20 big-league games with the Red Sox, Reds and Pirates this season, posting an unimpressive 7.32 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 19.2 innings. Reliever Miguel Romero was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas to open up a spot on the 28-man roster.

Claimed by Oakland Feliz was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Monday.

Impact Feliz was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday, and he'll now join his fourth organization of the 2021 campaign. He doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so he's expected to be added to the Oakland bullpen in the next day or two. The Athletics designated catcher Aramis Garcia for assignment Monday to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the reliever.

Designated for assignment Feliz was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday.

Impact Feliz joined the big-league roster on Sept. 6 and ended up allowing two earned runs on four hits across 5.1 innings. With Chris Sale (illness) and Matt Barnes (illness) returning from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Boston has opted to remove Feliz from the 40-man roster.

Contract selected Feliz's contract was selected by the Red Sox on Monday.

Impact Feliz has already pitched at the big-league level for both the Pirates and Reds this season but hasn't found much success. In 14.1 innings, he's allowed 15 runs (14 earned), good for an 8.79 ERA. He'll give Boston a low-leverage relief option but is unlikely to stick around once the team's COVID-19 outbreak has passed.

Joins Boston on MiLB deal Feliz signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Saturday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Feliz was cut loose by the Reds on Wednesday at the completion of his rehab assignment, and he'll latch on with a new organization a few days later. The right-hander last pitched in the majors in early June before going down with an elbow injury, but he appeared in 13 rehab games in the minors over the past month and posted a 5.27 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB over 13.2 frames. He'll report to Triple-A Worcester in hopes of joining the Red Sox down the stretch.

Woodruff strikes out 10 in Brewers' 4-1 win over Reds

Cut loose by Cincy The Reds released Feliz on Wednesday.

Impact Cincinnati didn't have a spot in the bullpen for Feliz after his minor-league rehab assignment came to an end earlier this week, prompting the organization to activate him from the 60-day injured list and designate him for assignment. After the 28-year-old reliever went unclaimed off waivers, the Reds will allow him to pursue opportunities elsewhere rather than sending him to Triple-A Louisville. Before he went on the IL with an elbow injury, Feliz made 16 big-league appearances for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati this season, posting an 8.79 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in 14.1 innings.

Designated for assignment Feliz (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and designated for assignment Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Feliz had been out since early June with an elbow issue. He's healthy now, having made 13 rehab appearances over the past month, but the Reds don't have a spot available for him, so he'll be available for other teams to claim off waivers. His career 5.38 ERA over parts of seven seasons at the big-league level means he may have a good chance to pass through waivers unclaimed.
